Emailing : send emails via BoondManager

Follow

This part requires to have an Administrator account  and allows you to install and set up the app. Each manager will then be able to customise his/her own Emailing account (to do so, please refer to the section "customise Emailing from a manager account")

Install Emailing and activate it to the relevant managers

To install Emailing, go to the MarketPlace from the Administrator interface, search for the app and click on "install". 

Then go to the Managers/Roles module to activate the app for the managers who will be using it. To do so, you can filter per "Role" and go down to the app section to tick the relevant box.

Attention : the Emailing app has got advanced settings, the emailing option is normally selected by default, it's important to leave it that way (or change it if not selected)

Then, the rest of the configuration depends on the your mailing provider : Gmail, Outlook 365 or OVH for instance. 

Bravo, your configuration is now successfully done! It's now time to create templates in order to make the most of the Eamiling app.

From the Administrator account 

Regardless of the provider, the templates are to be configured from the Administrator interface > Apps / Marketplace > Emailing > Configuration > Templates and will be shared to all of the app users. 

  The different templates types allow you to: 

1. Push CVs 
2. Communicate in bulk or individually with your Resources or Candidates
3. Communicate in bulk or individually with your CRM contacts
4. Send in bulk or individually your invoices

To do so, you need to go to the App settings > Templates section: 

1. Click on the + button to create a new template
2. Indicate the name/title of your template (which will be used as the email subject).
   Write your message in the body of the mail by using the variables in order to customise your message with the title and the name of your contact for instance.
3. Save your template.

Also, you can add a signature which will be used by default.

You can either create your own personal signature or create a more generic one using the variables. You can also insert your logo from a web link.

Copy/paste your link and choose the right dimension (e.g.. 150x120).

Thanks to the variables, the signature will be adapted depending on the information filled out in each manager's profile.

From a Manager account

On top of the shared templates that you've already created, each manager can also create his/her own templates.

To do so, here is the path to follow: User profile > Apps > Emailing 

You will see on this view all of the templates which have already been created. You just need to click on the + button to create new templates.

You will have to give it a title, choose the type of template (Push/message or Invoice) and write the body of your template, using (or not) the variables.

You can also edit and update your own templates.

You have the possibility to customise the provider settings as well as the signature.

For Outlook and OVH

By default, the tool will reuse the configuration done by the administrator and will send emails from the configured email address. Consequently, we recommend customising each user's account with their own information. To do so, here is the path to follow for Outlook and OVH:

Be careful and reuse the same SMTP server URL as in the default settings.

Also, your manager can decide to use the default signature (if you have used the variables in the admin settings) or to customise it.

To do so, you just need to click on Edit and on "Custom signature". When done, do not forget to click on "Lock". 

For Gmail

For Gmail, you will need to select Gmail in the list of provider types and then click on Synchronise.

And let you guide through until the end of the process. 

Now that you've configured your templates, you're ready to send your first emailing and pushes. To do so, there are two possible options.
