Hey there 👋 We've added a cool feature to keep things respectful: now you can add unsubscribe links to your emails. This way, if one of your contacts or candidates isn't feeling the bulk emails, they can easily opt-out. Just a simple click and they're off the list for future emails sent from Vincere

⭕ GDPR Settings

You can set up the default setting for all Contacts/Candidates you add to the system.

👉 To do this, you can go to Settings > Admin Settings > GDPR l Data Privacy > Email permission settings > Edit

⭕ Bulk Update email permission settings

You can select to up to 300 Candidates or Contacts at a time to update the Email permission, and you can do this in both the table view and advanced search screens.
