How to send a newsletter of open roles
Open Newsletters and choose New newsletter. Write a subject and message, pick the roles to feature, and under When it goes choose Send now, Schedule or Repeat. It goes to the candidates who chose “Email me about new roles” when they applied. Admins, managers and team members can write one; only admins send or schedule it.
Who gets it#
Candidates opt in by ticking “Email me about new roles” on the apply form. Only they receive newsletters, and they can unsubscribe from any one.
Write and send#
Step 1: Open Newsletters in the sidebar and choose New newsletter.
Step 2: Write the subject and message, and pick the roles to feature. The preview shows it as candidates will see it.
Step 3: Under When it goes, choose Send now, Schedule or Repeat.
Schedule takes a date and time. Repeat takes Every week or month, On a weekday or a day of the month (up to day 28), At a time, and a time zone.
Step 4: Choose Send to, with the number of candidates it goes to, or Schedule or Start repeating.
Sending now asks you to confirm first: it goes out at once and can’t be unsent.
Until a scheduled newsletter goes, an admin can change it, reschedule it, send it now instead, or Cancel schedule to make it a draft again.
Repeating newsletters#
- Each run is a newsletter of its own, with its own counts, sent to everyone opted in on the day.
- Each one lists the roles open that day. A run with no open roles is skipped.
- A run that would go more than 6 hours late, after an outage, is skipped rather than sent late. A one-off that misses its time goes back to a draft for an admin.
- Stop repeating ends the series.
