Campaign Links for JobAdder
Step-by-step: create the contact custom field in JobAdder, wire it to Redsun, launch a campaign, and merge the URL in your JobAdder email template.
Create the contact custom field in JobAdder
In JobAdder, go to **Settings → Administration → Customise JobAdder → Contacts → Custom Fields** and click **+ Add Custom Field**. Name it `Redsun Link`, set the type to **Text** (single line is fine — URLs are short), and save. JobAdder assigns a numeric **field ID** — visible in the URL when you edit the field (e.g. `/custom-fields/42`) or by calling the API. Note this number.
If you can't see the field ID in the UI, run a quick `GET /contacts/fields/custom` API call to list all contact custom fields with their IDs. Your JobAdder account manager can help if you don't have API access.
Tell Redsun the field ID
In Redsun, go to **Intelligence → Settings → Campaign Link Field**. Paste the numeric field ID (e.g. `42`) into the **Field ID** box. The label is optional. Click Save. Redsun now knows which custom field to write to on each JobAdder contact at campaign launch.
Make sure JobAdder contacts have synced
Open the Connections page and confirm JobAdder shows Connected with a recent sync time. Redsun only writes URLs to contacts it's already pulled from JobAdder, and contacts must have email addresses to be eligible.
Connections pageLaunch a campaign
Open **Intelligence → Campaign Links**, expand a consultant, click **New campaign**: 1. Name the campaign. 2. Pick a destination (landing page or apply form — client-facing or candidate-facing). 3. Click **Launch**. Redsun PUTs each synced JobAdder contact's `custom[{fieldId, value}]` with the unique per-contact URL, via `PUT /contacts/{contactId}`. Progress and per-contact results appear in the dialog.
Verify in JobAdder
Open any contact in JobAdder, scroll to the custom fields section. The `Redsun Link` field should now contain a URL like `https://yourdomain.com/client/q1-hiring-Abc12345`. Each contact gets a different slug — that's the per-recipient tracking ID.
Use the merge token in JobAdder email templates
In JobAdder, when composing a bulk email or saving a template, insert the custom field via the merge-field picker — it's listed under **Contact Custom Fields** by the name you gave it (`Redsun Link`). The raw merge syntax varies by template type but is typically `{Contact.CustomField.RedsunLink}` or the equivalent. JobAdder's editor resolves the field name to the correct tag — always prefer the picker over typing the tag manually.
Test-send to yourself before rolling out. If the merge token renders as the literal field name in the email, the wrong tag was used.
