To sync records from the Job Openings module,

  1. Log in to Zoho Campaigns.

  3. Choose Contacts and select the Criteria option.
  4. Select the Job Opening fields Fields checkbox.

Remember that the converted candidates will be ignored in all further sync you create irrespective of the module you choose. So, you cannot add those contacts as contacts in any of your Campaigns' mailing lists.

Solution

You can have separate mailing lists for your candidates and contacts. While creating sync with Candidates module, enable this option so that converted leads will be ignored only from the associated mailing list(leads mailing list). This way you can add those contacts in another mailing list.
OR
If you're maintaining a single mailing list for Recruit contacts, then you can disable this option while creating the sync.


Note

  • If you enable the Advanced Settings options (except Exclude Converted Leads) after initiating sync, it will be applied only for records that are added after enabling these options. Contacts that are already synced will not be updated.

Use case

Jane initiates a sync "Interview" and syncs 50 contacts to mailing list "Zylker". Later, she enables Update Deleted Contacts and Exclude email opt-out records options from Advanced Settings for the sync.

The next day, she deletes 8 of synced contacts from Recruit. But those contacts won't be removed from Zylker as those records were fetched before enabling the Advanced Sync Settings.

Note: You can choose the date range from 30 days before the sync creation date. You can't retrieve data older than one month from CRM.
