Purpose

This article introduces the permission required for sending emails to candidates from the position pipeline.

Overview

The ability to send emails to candidates from the position pipeline is handles by the 'decoupleemailsmsandwhatsappperms' flag. When this is set to 'true' in the 'emailconfig', the system checks for a specific permission before allowing email functionality. This permission is: 'permsendemails_only'.

Send emails to candidates

To send an email, select the candidate profile from the pipeline and then click Email from the Contact dropdown. Ensure that the 'permsendemails_only' permission is assigned to all relevant roles (for example, Recruiter).

If the 'decoupleemailsmsandwhatsappperms' config flag is enabled, only users with the permsendemailsonly permission will be allowed to send emails. Users without this permission will receive a “Permission denied” error.
