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.
Configure your Gmail account
If you have a Gmail account, then it won't be necessary to go to the Administrator interface to set up the Emailing app. You just need to select Gmail in the Provider type field.
You can directly go to your Manager interface, click on Apps > Emailing and on the right in the provider settings section:
- Choose the provider type: Gmail
- Click on the Synchronise button
- Let you guide through and allow Boond to send emails via your Gmail account
When everything goes green, you're all set!
However, if the synchronisation fails and that a red error message shows up, contact the support.
To configure Office 365, you do not have any specific actions to carry out if your two step verification is not activated. You just need to configure the Emailing app this way:
- Enter the following server URL: smtp.office365.com
- Key in the email address you'd like to send your emailings with
- Enter the password of the selected email address
- Port: 587
- Protocol: TLS
If you have activated further security option on your Office 365 connections
However, if you experience trouble due to advanced security protocols offered by Office 365, you'll have to generate an app password. To do so, please have a look at the Microsoft tutorial by clicking here..
If the configuration still does not work and that an error message shows up, contact the support.
To configure Emailing when your Exchange server is hosted by OVH, you just need to use the following settings:
- Server URL: the name of your hosted exchange server (example : ex3.mail.ovh.net )
- login: your email address
- Enter the password of the selected email address
- Port: 587
- Protocol: TLS
If the configuration still does not work and that an error message shows up, contact the support.
To configure Emailing when your emailing server is hosted by OVH, you just need to use the following settings:
- Server URL: ns0.ovh.net
- Key in the email address you'd like to send your emailings with. You will need to change the at symbol for the percentage symbol. For example for: maitreyoda@rebelle.com use maitreyoda%rebelle.com
- Enter the password of the selected email address
- Port: 465
- Protocol: SSL
If the configuration still does not work and that an error message shows up, contact the support..
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:
- Push CVs
- Communicate in bulk or individually with your Resources or Candidates
- Communicate in bulk or individually with your CRM contacts
- Send in bulk or individually your invoices
To do so, you need to go to the App settings > Templates section:
- Click on the + button to create a new template
- 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. - 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.
If you had to generate a app password when doing the admin settings, your manager will have to do it the same way.
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.
From a candidate or a resource
Go to the Candidates or Resources module and select the candidate(s)/resource(s) you'd like to share the CVs of with your contact(s).
You just need to to follow the workflow:
- Select the sending type: Push of resumes
- Do check the profiles you have selected, you can still remove some or add more
- Click on "contacts" and the tool will redirect you to the CRM module > Contacts view to select the recipients of your emailig
- Once you're ready, click on "continue"
From the CRM
From the CRM module > contact view, use the different filters to only see the contacts you're looking for. Select them and and click on the emailing icon (envelope) .
The sending workflow will show up, you just need to choose the sending type:
- Simple message
- Push of resumes
In the case of the a simple message, you just need to click on continue.
In the case of a push of resumes, you will need to click on Candidates or Resources to go search for the profiles you'd like to share the CVs of. Then just follow the workflow.

Vous will then be redirected to the sending page of Emailing, a green message will indicate you that your connexion to the supplier is operational. Here you can:
