Inbound: Frequently Asked Questions

Written by Magnus Burton

Below are common issues encountered when setting up or using Inbound. This list is regularly updated.


I can't connect to Cinode during configuration

This issue is often related to insufficient access levels in Cinode. For Inbound integration, your account must have Manager-level access. Additionally, ensure that the required API modules are activated for your Cinode instance. If these modules are not activated, please contact Cinode support for assistance.

How do I choose the best Minimum Matching Score?

The Minimum Matching Score defines how many skills a consultant must match from the skills parsed in the email for the email to be considered relevant to the company. If no consultants meet the minimum score, the email will not be added as a project.

To get started, we recommend setting the score at 20% to test the integration and evaluate the types of emails being ingested. If you notice irrelevant projects being added to Cinode, gradually increase the percentage. This process involves trial and error, but starting with a lower score allows you to fine-tune the integration to your needs.


Can Inbound process emails with attachments?

Yes, Inbound can read and analyse text from PDF and Word attachments. These attachments are uploaded to Cinode and the created project.


Can I modify the skill matching parameters?

Currently, the skill matching score are customisable by users through the configuration flow on our integration platform. However, if a specific adjustment is required, the integration team at Cinode can provide support.


How does Inbound handle consultants with incomplete profiles?

If a consultant's profile is incomplete, Inbound may not be able to provide accurate matches. It’s recommended to ensure consultants have a complete profile, including skills, to improve match quality.
