Using Magic Links for Candidate Portals and Preference Center

Last Updated:

Using Magic Links gives candidates the ability to log into your organization's Candidate Portal or Preference Center directly from a Campaign message sent from Beamery.  This gives your candidates a frictionless way to go into the Candidate Portal and get recommended jobs as well as update their candidate preferences.  

You can invite candidates to your organization's Candidate Portal or Preference center by using merge tags in your campaign building. Below are the ways to access each.

Candidate Portals

To invite candidates to your organization's Candidate Portal with a Beamery Campaign, choose "merge tags" after adding your desired text into a textbox.

From the dropdown menu that appears, choose Portal Magic Link

The Merge Tag will now be a part of your text box and will look like this:

When candidates receive your campaign emails with these links, they will be taken directly to your organization's Candidate Portal. 

Preference Center

To redirect a candidate to the Preference Center from a Campaign message, choose "Merge Tags" after adding your desired text into a textbox.

From the dropdown menu that appears, choose Portal Magic Link with redirect. This option allows you to customize the URL that the candidate will be directed to.

Then change the URL in the Merge Tag created to reflect where you want the link to direct candidate to. This will be a direct match for the link found in the Settings tab of your Preference Center Convert Flow.  In this example the redirect is “/flows/preference-centre”.

It is not necessary to copy the URL domain. Include the first backslash to the end of the URL. Example: yourdomain.beamery/flows/preference-centre

When candidates receive your campaign emails with these links, they will be taken directly to your organization's Preference Center.
