Tokens used in the notifications set up in Admin Tools > E-Mail Notification Templates

The notifications set up in Admin Tools > E-Mail Notification Templates are usually shared by multiple modules. Notifications supported in the Recruiting Module:

• Document Routing Notification
• Document Due Notification
• Document Late Notification
• External Candidate Forgot Password Notification
• New Recruiting Operator Notification
• Recruiting Interviewer Notification
• Recruiting Even Interviewer Notification
• Recruiting Agency
• Recruiting Imminent Candidate Purge Notification
• Share candidate search

Notes:

• Because most of the system notification templates are shared with other modules, the tokens are usually not module specific. If not other specified, only general tokens (e.g. [[DOC TITLE]], [[DOC ACCESS URL]]) are supported. You can find the list of tokens in this Knowledge Base Article: 2087503 - Customizing Email Notifications Default Template Text.
• The tokens in Admin Center > E-Mail Notification Templates are not customizable.

Special Tokens used only in Recruiting E-Mail Triggers

Recruiting email triggers manage emails that can be sent out at various points in the recruiting process. Therefore they may support some tokens supported only for this specific action e.g. in the E-Mail trigger "Invite Candidate to Apply" following tokens are supported: [[RECRUITING_APPLICANT_NAME]], [[INVITE_REFERRER]], [[INVITE_JOB_POSTING_DATE]] & [[INVITE_LINK]]. In other recruiting notifications, these tokens are not supported and will not resolve. You can find the information about additional supported tokens in the "Tips" in Admin Tools > Recruiting E-Mail Triggers for each e-mail trigger:

Some tokens may be required for the notification set up as an e-mail trigger e.g. the Requisition Posted Recruiting Email Trigger requires an e-mail template including tokens: [[BEGIN_REPEAT]] and [[END_REPEAT]]. Please refer to the Knowledge Base Article 2144747 and 2122640 for further information.

Tokens used in Offer Letter Templates

The e-mail templates used for the Offer Letters are being set up in Admin Tools > Manage Offer Letter Templates. They may also include tokens from the last offer version and the list of the available tokens in Offer Letters is accessible in the text editor:

How to set up custom tokens for Recruiting E-Mail Templates and Offer Letter Templates

Custom tokens can be only created from the back-end of the system. Please contact Cloud Product Support and provide a reference to a field on job requisition, application, candidate profile or offer detail and a Support Engineer will add a custom token to your instance based on your configuration.
