Email Message Editor

The Email Editor (or Composer) provides recruiters the ability to set up and edit emails for marketing campaigns, allowing them to create well-designed and engaging emails for candidates and employees.

Administrators can turn the Email Editor on and off in the Configuration area's Messaging section, with the Use Composer setting. The default is Off. If the setting is On, when a recruiter is performing the Compose Message Step in setting up a campaign, and begins editing an email message in the Campaigns tab, a modal appears providing the option of using either the Modern or Classic version of the message template:

  • Classic - Has a heading, salutation, body text containing a list of jobs, complimentary close and identification. For each job in the list the message provides the job title (as a link to job details), location and job category.

  • Modern - Has all the same elements as Classic. In addition, more information is provided about each listed job: a video indicator, Hot and New job tags, job description introductory text, the posting date, and a View and Recommend button.

The Email Message Editor provides recruiters features such as:

  • An improved message previewer, with the body section displaying the whole message.

  • Email sections that are empowered as blocks; which can be added, moved or deleted.

  • A standard block display that, when you hover over or tab into a block, highlights it with a border and gives it a light gray background.

  • A control panel that displays on the right side of a content block when you hover over or tab into the block. It contains buttons to move the block up or down in the message, or remove it from the message.

  • Action to move away from a block hides the control panel and restores the block to its preview state.

  • Rich-text editing capability (in an HTML editor) which opens when you click into a content block.

  • HTML editor functionality (such as font characteristics, lists, colors, spacing, alignment and more) varies depending on the block type being edited (Smart, Text or Image) .

  • Functions to import images into blocks and crop them.

When a recruiter is working in an updated Sourcing zone, existing emails in all campaigns in the zone will continue to work:

  • All existing campaigns (created prior to upgrade to release 14B) continue to be accessible from the "Manage Campaigns" pages, load up with the final message editing/scheduling step (including all saved data), can be edited using the legacy capabilities, and function as they normally do (e.g. when choosing templates, editing text, scheduling and sending, etc.).

  • All newly-created campaigns with a messaging component (beginning with release 14B) load up the new Email Editor. Accessing these new campaigns afterwards also loads up the Email Editor.
