What Is Bulk Text Messaging?

The Bulk Text Message feature in iSmartRecruit allows you to connect with any SMS gateway that supports HTTP-based integration. Once configured, you can send one-on-one or bulk SMS messages directly from the system — ideal for interview reminders, job alerts, or mass candidate communication.

Where to Configure It

You can set this up from:
Navigation Path:
Go to Admin Settings > Integration > Bulk Text Message

How to Integrate Your SMS Gateway

You can integrate any SMS/Text Message Gateway that supports HTTP-based API.

Required Setup Fields:

  1. Text Message Integration URL – The API endpoint from your SMS provider.

  2. Success Code (optional) – The success response code returned by the provider upon a successful message send.

  3. Enable Integration - Use the toggle switch at the top of the configuration section to enable or disable SMS integration.

  4. Replace:

    • authkey, sender, and other parameters based on your SMS provider’s documentation.

    • Ensure HTTPS is used if required by your gateway.

How the System Uses the Integration

Once the setup is complete:

  • SMS messages sent from candidate or client and lead profiles will automatically use the configured URL.

  • Smart tags like candidate name, job title, and interview date can be used in message templates.

  • Delivery status is tracked based on the success code if configured.

Where You Can Send SMS

After integration:

  • Go to any Candidate, Pileline, Client or Lead profile.

  • Click on the Text Message (SMS) icon under the More actions or from vide dialog.

  • Use a saved template or compose a new message.

  • The system will send the message using the SMS gateway you’ve configured.

  • When sending text messages using a template, you can select a single candidate or a range of candidates based on your needs. This allows you to efficiently send personalized messages in bulk without manually selecting each recipient one by one.

  • character limit is 290 for Text Message.

This is especially useful for:

  • Interview reminders to multiple shortlisted candidates.

  • Job alerts to a filtered group of applicants.

  • Follow-up messages to a batch of inactive profiles.
