If GDPR blockers are set up (enabled):

GDPR Blockers

then the GDPR tab:

GDPR Consents tab

needs to be updated on the applicant record to allow users to contact the applicant via that method, e.g SMS - permission to allow a user to send an SMS.

For Mailshot management, clients have a choice, the can EITHER use the GDPR blockers, this blocker prevents Mailshots unless the Mailshot GDPR has been set on the Applicant record OR Mailshot Options which offer the additional option of allowing users to opt Applicants in to specific mailshot types and exclude them from others.

To edit the Mailshot Options on the applicant record:

  1. Click Applicants and then Select the applicant

  2. click the View button (

    View button

    )

  3. choose Mailshot Options

  4. select the option you want to set

  5. click Save


The options available are :

  • Opt In For All Mailshots

  • Opt Out For All Mailshots

  • Specifically Opt In For Mailshots (which are then detailed under the Mailshot Categories drop-down)
