Part Four: Setting up the Automations

A number of automations are required as a minimum to use the parental consent module effectively. It is important to remember you can add additional actions as required.

The minimum automations that we recommend for the parental consent module are:

  • Notifying the Parent / Guardian

  • Reminding the Parent / Guardian

  • Reminding the Candidate

  • Confirming a Parental Consent is Complete

  • Advising the Parental Consent has Timed out

Below we will take you through our suggested settings for these automations, please check out the Creating Automations article, for more information on setting up Automations.


Notifying the Parent / Guardian

When creating the automation, we suggest the following settings, as best practice:

Tasks: Parent Consent - Consent Created

Schedule Trigger: At the time

Category: Parental Consent

Add Actions Popup

General Tab:

Name: Email to Parent/Guardian

Action: Email to Referee / Consenter

Delay: To enable the referee the most time to complete the reference check, we recommend no delay before the automation is completed.

Rules Tab:

For this automation we do not recommend any Rules.

Options Tab:

Select the Email Template you created in Part 3: Setting up Communications.


Confirming a Parental Consent is Complete
