End-user flow: Send a recommendation invitation
To send a recommendation invitation, go to the user panel in the frontend. On this page, amongst other things, you can see your candidacy profile, the minimum required recommenders, the number of invitations sent, and the number of declined invitations.
Click on the “Invite recommenders“ button to proceed. This will redirect you to the page where you can send a recommendation invitation. This invitation will be sent out as an email and will include a link to the candidacy profile.
On this page, you can see an overview of the following:
Number of recommendations received out of the required minimum threshold
Minimum number of required recommendations
Number of invitations sent
Number of invitations rejected
Fill in the following fields of the invitation form:
Language: This is the language used for the automatic parts of the email. The languages available here will depend on the locales chosen for the candidacy system
Name: The name of the recipient of the invitation.
Email: The email address to which the invitation will be sent.
Message: This field allows for a personal and optional message to be sent to the invitation recipient. To see what the email will look like, click on the “Preview“ button.
Note that this field will only appear if “Allow message in invitation“ is enabled in the Configuration.
Once you are satisfied with the invitation form, click on the “Send invitation“ to send the recommendation invitation.
All recommendation invitations will then appear on the “Recommendation invitations“ page.
