Question 1

What are Plays in Censara?

Accepted Answer

Plays are visual, node-based outreach sequences. Each Play is a multi-step workflow — emails, tasks, stage moves, waits, and approval gates — that runs on a set of candidates, contacts or leads. Recruiters approve before anything sends.

Question 2

What are Triggers in Censara?

Accepted Answer

Triggers are event-based automations: if a candidate's job changes, if a company raises funding, if a new CV is uploaded — a Trigger can fire a Play or standalone action automatically. They turn market signals into timely outreach without manual monitoring.

Question 3

How do Smart Lists work with outreach?

Accepted Answer

Smart Lists are saved searches that re-evaluate themselves as data changes. Attach a Smart List to a Play and your audience is always current — candidates who move out of criteria drop off automatically, and new ones who enter are picked up.

Question 4

Does Censara integrate with Slack for outreach?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Felix lives in Slack with a two-way integration. He can report on Play progress, surface candidates who need follow-up, and accept instructions from the recruiter — all with full citations back to the record in Censara.

Question 5

Can outreach messages be personalised per candidate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Plays use templates with tone presets, and Censara's AI layer personalises each message based on the candidate or contact record. Recruiters review and approve before sending — personalisation at scale doesn't mean removing the human check.

Question 6

Is all outreach recruiter-approved before it sends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Plays include approval gates, and no message is sent without recruiter sign-off. This applies to both candidate outreach and BD sequences. Every sent message is logged on the relevant record timeline.
