E-Mail Copy to Applicant after Sending

oh and yes, i bought the mail addon thingy too.

Hello Tim,

Thanks for contacting us.

By default, an applicant acknowledged email notification is sent to the candidate on the job submission. Do you want to customize the applicant email notification text or want an extra email from the Admin/HR side?

Best Regards,

Holy shit that was fast. ??

Well i actually didn’t realise there is already a confirmation mail being sent to the applicant. When i test it with my private mail, i don’t get any mail, although the option is ticked in the settings?

So i don’t know the content of that specific mail, but if it contains a “your application has been received” and preferably with the “this is what you filled out” that would exactly what i need.

Question only then remains is, why it’s not working? :/

Oh btw while we’re at it: Is there a way to change the application form fields for all existing jobs globally? I just realised i forgot something and for one its tedious enough to go through all job listings and add it by hand, but also theres a bug, that when i do add something manually in the listing, the entire application form fields disappear in the front end. I then have to delete and add the job all over again. :/

Tim,

For the applicant email, you have to add the email form field in job application form so the user can receive the email notification on the provided email.

Here is the example job:
https://jobboardextensions.demo.presstigers.com/jobs/sales-executive/

For the global application form fields settings, it only populates to the newly created jobs, not for the already published jobs.

Can you please elaborate a little bit more about the application form fields settings issue so we can further help you.

Thanks & Regards,

its german but you will see that i have email added. Yet theres no confirmation mail sent to the address i provide as a applicant.

Ok so i tried to reproduce the bug, but now it didn’t come up again. I just tried to add a name field basically and that seems to work fine.

The bug occured when i tried to add a checkbox field for gdpr consent like “i consent to my data being processed” thing. When i tried to add that to the already published jobs it made the whole application form part disappear in frontend.

Speaking of that: you have some privacy stuff in the settings, but it would be cool if there was an option to do the consent checkbox right there. Maybe even with the possibility to have a link in the text saying “for our privacy guidelines click here” and then i can chose the page which it goes to.

Consider that maybe a feature request. ??

Oh yeah and having the ability to change stuff globally to already published listings would be a huge deal. ??

Thanks for the quick help though

Tim

@farbenfeuer,

Sorry for the inconvenience. We will surely consider your instructions.

Our technical team will generate these bugs at their end and then fix them in the next release.

Thanks,

Well don’t forget i still have the issue that applicants don’t receive an email after sending the application form.

@farbenfeuer,

We apologized for the inconvenience.

We are sharing you a file through Dropbox link. Can you please replace it with the class-simple-job-board-notifications.php file placed in the Job Board includes directory (simple-job-board/includes).

Note: We recommend you to take backup of the file first and then replace it.

Also, we’ll add this fix in our next SJB release.

Let us know if your issue still persists so we can further guide you.

Best Regards,

This worked. Now i have only one problem left. In the mail for applicants it says “hi applicant-name” – but i have 2 form fields – one for the surname and the lastname – is there a way to have it display both names?

@farbenfeuer,

You can customize the notification email’s content by using SJB hooks.

For more information about SJB hooks, please refer to class-simple-job-board-notifications.php file under following directory:
simple-job-board > inlcudes

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
