Overview

You can automatically send a message to every new applicant for a specific job. Once set up, WISE Recruiting Assistant (WRA) will send your selected email template as soon as someone applies, saving you time and ensuring consistent communication.

Before you start

Helpful note: You'll need an email template created first. See How do I create and manage my own email templates? for those steps.

Set up an automatic email for a job

  • From your dashboard, open the job you want to update

  • Click Job Settings

  • Select Automation

  • Choose "A custom automated email"

  • Select a template from the dropdown

  • Click Save Changes

Your automatic email is now set up and will send to new applicants automatically.

View which jobs use each template

  • Go to Account Settings

  • Open Email Templates

  • Find the Automated Email Templates section

  • Click the link icon next to a template

A window will show which job posts are using that template.
