Add new variation of 'Your next steps' email
Your organization can elect to add new variations of the default 'Your next steps' email. If your organization adds a 'Your next steps' email variation, new hires receive either a variant 'Your next steps' email (based on their filter conditions) or the default version.
To create a new 'Your next steps' email, click Settings from the navigation bar and select Emails on the left.
Navigate to the Your next steps section and click Create template.
Use the subsequent box to:
- Enable / deactivate the new variation
- Provide the variation with a name
- Create the message / body of the email
- Select filter criteria
Note: Since the variant email is intended to replace the default Your next steps email for certain employees, you'll need to associate filter criteria with your new variation.
When finished, click Save and Close.
Your organization's new 'Your next steps' email will be added and sent out to new hires who fulfill the criteria you have selected.
The 'Your next steps' email assigned to the new hire can be viewed from the Onboarding Plan page when adding a new hire to your account.
