Create and Manage Message Templates

Committee Managers and Administrators can create Message Templates to send particular messages to applicants when the status of a position or application changes. Message templates are created on the Administration page of Faculty Search (FS). When changing the status of an applicant or position, select one of the message templates created and send it to applicants communicating the desired information for them to know about the change in status. For example, a message can be created to go out to all applicants when the status of a position changes from Accepting Applications to Reviewing Applications. A message can also be sent out to selected applicants when an applicant's status is changed from Longlist to Shortlist, letting each applicant know to set up an interview.

 

These messages are not automatically sent when changing the position or application status. Messages must be edited or confirmed before being sent to notify of a change in status.

2. Add New Message Template

  2. Enter the message information including the From Name, Reply to email address, Subject, and Message.
