Sync Features

On the integrations page, you will be able to set default settings for yourself and your team.

General Settings

Sync Settings

  3. Only store personal emails - Choose to only save personal emails for candidates and work emails for contacts in JobAdder

Using JobAdder with SourceWhale

Campaign Settings

When creating a campaign, you will be prompted with this pop-up:

Below the campaign name and type, you can choose whether to sync as a Candidate or Contact. You can also choose to adjust the default sync settings. If you click on the grey arrow to the right-hand side of the 'Sync options', you will see that you have the possibility to push a Candidate or Contact through with specific tags.


Chrome Extension

When using the chrome extension you will be able to access some of these features as well. This option is available in order to give the ability to change the settings you have previously set, for specific individuals.

I.e. In the campaign settings page, you have selected that you want everyone to be pushed through as a Candidate, but you come across someone you'd rather push through as a Contact, you can then change this by clicking on the 'sync as' box and selecting the option that suits that Contact better.

You can do the same in regards to advanced setting options, by clicking on the grey arrow to the right of the 'Sync as' box.

Your team admin can alter the fields displayed at any time by going into the Integrations page.
