Whenever a website visitor submits a job application, the LISA admin will automatically notify your team by email. To create a new email template for this purpose (or to edit the content of the existing/default email template), follow the instructions below.
If you're new to this section of the admin, start with our overview on email templates.
1. Go to Notifications > Email Templates
After logging into your LISA platform, navigate to Notifications > Email Templates.
2. Go to the Company Tab
Click into the Company tab.
3. Find the Career Template
Find the existing Career template by using the filter or searching manually. Then click on the template to open it.
4. Make Your Edits to the Template
On the Career template, use the fields and text editor to make your desired customizations.
As shown above, you can make standard edits to your email content, including:
- The name of the template
- The subject line
- The body text
Additional (and more advanced) edits include those described below.
Dynamic Fields
You can also use the Add Elements to Email Design field (shown below) to insert dynamic information related to this job application or to your company settings in general.
For instance, one dynamic field option is #Source#, which will insert the source of the job applicant into the email for easy differentiation between organic and PPC.
Learn more about dynamic fields here.
Email Trigger Options
Email trigger options allow you to set specific rules or "conditions" that determine when an email is automatically sent. With the Career email specifically, you can set a condition so that this email template is only sent when a specific type of job application is submitted.
For example, if you choose "siding installer" as shown below, this email would only be sent to your team when someone applies to be a siding installer. (You could then create separate emails with rules for the other types of careers. Any applications without a dedicated rule would trigger the "automatic - email type default" template.)

Reply To Options
At the very bottom, you can can also choose which reply-to option you prefer: the no-reply email or the customer email.
Fields Not to Change
To make sure that your email template functions properly (and is sent automatically to your team whenever a job applicant applies), please do not adjust the Email Template Type. This should remain set to Career.
5. Save Your Changes
Once you've made your edits, click Save to save your changes.
