Connected Email

Connecting your email account will automatically sync your candidate emails to Beamery so you never have to log data manually again. Beamery follows strict, industry-standard practices that protect your data and you can disconnect your email at any time. Read more about connected emails here. 

1. Click on your name in the top right-hand corner of Beamery to access your settings page.
   
2. Select ‘Email Permissions’ from the left-hand menu on the settings page. 

   
   

3. Click the ‘Add email address’ button in the top right-hand corner of the page.
   

4. Enter your email address in the modal that appears, check the box for ‘Email access’ and 'Calendar access', and then click ‘Authenticate’.
   

5. Your email provider’s login screen will open in a pop-up window to authorize this access. You will need to authorize this access by inputting your email password here. You may also need to accept the requested permissions.  

    

6. Once you have authorized access, you will see that your email address is present on the email permissions, and will show as ‘Downloading’, with a checkmark in the ‘Email Access’ column.
   
   

7. Once all of your past email contact with candidates is synchronized with Beamery, you will see the email address as ‘Running’ instead of ‘Downloading’. The amount of time that this may take can depend on the number of emails that need to be synced with Beamery.

Once you have chosen the Campaign you're working on, click Edit to access the Campaign Builder page.

Using a Meeting Scheduler Page link in your Campaign email

Once you have a Meeting Scheduler page set up, click the 'Copy link' button at the bottom of the modal to copy the page URL onto your clipboard.  

Next, choose where you would like to display the link. This can be done as a hyperlink in text or in a button. Add a button into your email and click to open the content editor for that button, then paste the URL from your clipboard into the URL for the button.

Candidates can now easily book meetings with you when it's the most convenient for you both - without all the back and forth. Use the Meeting Scheduler page link in your direct emails and bulk messages too.
