To use the Cinode form you need to insert a shortcode into your post or page. Use the default shortcode. Remember, the shortcode is [cinode] and it will only be activated when used in the text-section below the Header as seen down on the picture.

Writing [cinode] will create a standardised form, ready to be previewed and even used.

But you can also use our shortcodes to make the form more personalized to your needs.

You could choose which pipeline to send an applicant to, you could customize your messages to the applicants.

All the codes are sourced down below:

To customize your form, you use shortcode tags as seen below.

[cinode pipelineId = "0" pipelineStageId = "0" recruitmentManagerId = "0" teamId = "0" recruitmentSourceId = "0" campaignCode = "0" currencyId = "1"]

If you want to set up pipelineId, you need to set pipelineStageId.

Custom labels for the fields can be changed with tags in the shortcode. The text must be inside the quotes " ".

firstname_label="Custom Name"

lastname_label="Custom Last Name"

email_label="Custom e-mail"

phone_label="Custom Phone"

message_label="Custom Message"

linkedin_label="Custom LinkedIn"

location_label="Custom Location Label"

attachment_label="Custom Attachment"

accept_label="Custom Accept text"

privacy_url="https://google.com"

privacy_error="Please Accept GDPR"

submitbutton_label="Custom Submit application"

successful-submit-msg="Thanks for application"

unsuccessful-submit-msg="Application Not Send"

requiredfield_msg="Custom Required Field Message"

All available shortcode tags are:

[cinode pipelineId = "0" pipelineStageId = "0" recruitmentManagerId = "0" teamId = "0" recruitmentSourceId = "0" campaignCode = "0" currencyId = "1" firstname_label="Custom Name" lastname_label="Custom Last Name" email_label="Custom e-mail" phone_label="Custom Phone" message_label="Custom Message" linkedin_label="Custom LinkedIn" location_label="Custom Location Label" attachment_label="Custom Attachment" accept_label="Custom Accept text" privacy_url="https://google.com" privacy_error="Please Accept GDPR" submitbutton_label="Custom Submit application" successful-submit-msg="Thanks for application" unsuccessful-submit-msg="App Not Send" requiredfield_msg="Custom Required Message"]


Make sure to stylize the forms the way you want.
