What are email commands? How do I use them?
Updated 7 years ago
You can use JobScore email inboxes to send messages to JobScore to add candidates, add notes and track emails (learn more here). Email commands make inboxes even more powerful.
To use commands, just type specific text at the top of your emails to trigger special actions. Email commands start with a forward slash ( / ) and you can “stack” more than one command into the same message (one per line). JobScore email commands include:
Stacking Commands In The Same Email
You can use multiple commands at the same time -- just make sure each command is on it’s own line. Here are few examples of how you can stack email commands:
Add a private note to a candidate and tag them as an engineer with ruby and devops skills:
Attachment: [none]
Email Body:
/candidate [email protected]
/tag engineer, python, devops
/private
This guy is awesome, he wants $125K for full time, $90 for contract
Important: The content you want added to your note must follow /private if you intend to keep the note private. Otherwise any text not preceeded by a forward slash ( / ) command will be part of the note.
Add a new candidate, including a private note, and tag them as a sales guy to be followed up with in August:
Attachment: [Resume of Soupy Sales.pdf]
Email Body:
/req Senior Account Executive
/tag Sales
/tag Followup - August
/private
Soupy looks like the perfect guy for us to hire as a sales rep in Q4 when we are looking for someone more senior
Important: The content you want added to your note must follow /private if you intend to keep the note private. Otherwise any text not preceded by a forward slash ( / ) command will be part of the note.
