Chat Shortcuts/$variables

Description

Variables make messages more personal and help you get more done in less time. Instead of writing out a name, email address, job title, or other information already in PivotCX, you can type a variable, and PivotCX will automatically expand it.

How to Use

Variables can be accessed through the Chatbox or through the Tools section on the right-hand panel. 

Using Variables in the Chatbox

To use variables in the chatbox, you can click or type $variables from the chatbox, and type or select the variable you want to use

You can save even more time - if you press space after a few characters, PivotCX will insert the best matching variable. 

Example

$title will be expanded to the Active Apply's job title. 

Typing $title takes a lot less time than typing "Principal Architectural Kotlin Developer."

Using Variables in the Right-Hand Panel

The right-hand panel in PivotCX has a full list of applicable variables for the conversation. By default, the right-hand panel displays Candidate information, but the Tools tab has a list of Actions and Variables/Shortcuts available for the conversation
