ApplyURL or common CxScript in Templates

In templates use the standard ApplyURL setting when you need the same URL structure across multiple templates. This is the CxScript to fetch the Apply URL in templates:

<cx:write value="$activity.toPublication.applyUrl" />


Only use custom CxScript code in templates when you need specific variations or additional flexibility for particular cases.

Configuration Steps

Finding the Apply URL

  1. Navigate to 'Files' | 'Publications'

  2. Open desired Publication

⚠️ Note: It is crucial to set the application link correctly to make sure candidates will not experience dead links.

Implementation Methods

Custom Website (API Connection)

For websites using Carerix GraphQL or REST API:

  • Format flexibly based on requirements

  • Coordinate URL structure with web developer

  • Ensure correct page routing on website

The applyUrl example:

https://www.example.com/joborder/<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/>/<cx:write value="$publication.titleInformation.urlEncodedString"/>.html

Results in https://www.example.com/joborder/123/Account-manager.html

WordPress Plugin example

https://www.example.com/?pub_id=<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/>

Results in https://www.example.com/?pub_id=123

SRSx Website

https://www.example.com/vacature-<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/>

Results in https://www.example.com/vacature-123

Advanced Configuration Example

For job boards requiring different URL formats, like Indeed:

<cx:if condition="publication.toMedium.code='indeed'">https://<cx:write value="$utilities.userDefaults.Customer" invoke="lowercaseString"/>.carerix.com/cxtools/jobdetails/<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/><cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/> </cx:if> <cx:else>https://www.example.com/joborder-<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/></cx:else>
