Bulk correspondence

Staff can now send correspondence to multiple learners using the bulk correspondence feature for correspondence manager in Ontrack Staff Hub.

On selecting Bulk correspondence, you can switch between the Enrolments, Applications, and Learner tabs. Each tab includes a drop-down list that allows the user to select filters relevant to that data type. When you choose a learner type, the system automatically uses the correct view and shows only the relevant filter columns in the drop-down. This ensures that you can generate correspondence for an accurate, customised learner list.

Staff can also select a default reply‑to email address and display name. In many cases, the from address is a no‑reply account that isn’t monitored.

Additional roles are required for bulk correspondence. For more information, go to EBS Central user management.

Correspondence manager updates

The following changes have been made to improve staff use of correspondence manager:

  • You can now generate correspondence from the learner’s enrolment screen in Ontrack so that you can send a predefined template to the learner by letter, email, or SMS.

  • You can now edit the template in the correspondence wizard for all learners at the same time to save time when updating multiple learners.
