Use case per meeting type

Team permissions, multichannel follow-up, project variables, interaction templates

Team-based permissions

Permissions now handle teams. By assigning a manager to each member, you build a hierarchy — for example a business unit director above several managers, who in turn are above their business managers.A new Team access scope lets everyone see their own records and those of their direct reports: a business manager only sees their own clients, their manager also sees their team’s, and so on.Access scopes: All, Own, and Team

Conversation follow-up in projects

The projects’ Conversations page becomes Follow-up. It lets you track exchanges with a project’s candidates and prospects, follow up manually, and access a multichannel inbox (email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp).A project's Follow-up tab, next to Overview and PipelineSent emails are now stored and added to the Conversations tabs of candidates and clients, for better follow-up and outreach tracking.

Project variables

You can now create custom project variables, on the fly, without depending on Cobalt’s default variables. For example, add a Title (Mr/Ms) column: when drafting an email, a new Project variable type appears and lets you insert any column, including the ones you just created.Variable picker with the Project type (Full name, First name, Last name…)Two new default project variables also appear: First name and Last name, in addition to Full name — to insert only the first name, only the last name, or both.Adding new variables (new columns) is only possible from the Excel view.

Edit a record from a project

You can now edit the first and last name of a candidate or prospect directly from a project’s sidebar: click the three dots next to the name, then Edit.Record Actions menu in a project: Edit, Delete

Interaction templates

First version of interaction templates: at the end of a meeting, they generate a summary of the exchange based on the meeting type (candidate, client, qualification, internal). A new interaction is then created automatically in the candidate’s or client’s record.Interaction templates: contact and candidate summaries
An operational, active workflow is required for the automatic creation to work.

Email draft preserved

If you reload the page while drafting an email, your draft is now preserved — previously, it was erased.

Fixes

  • Fixed the trailing spaces in emails, between the end of the message and the signature.
  • Added a close (×) button on the People Search Engine popup, for a smoother experience.
  • Fixed file import in the AI chat, which was causing errors.
  • Fixed a minor bug.
