New Merge Token: %SUBMISSIONDATEADDED%

Merge Tags

A new merge token is now available to display the exact date and time a submission was added in the ATS.

What’s New?

We’ve introduced the %SUBMISSIONDATEADDED% merge token, which returns the date and time a submission was created in the ATS.

The timestamp will appear in the Date/Time Format configured in the customer’s Settings, ensuring consistency with their regional preferences.

Why Does It Matter?

  • Regulatory Compliance: This update supports compliance with new legislation in Illinois, US, requiring employers to provide candidates with a receipt of their job application including the submission date and time.

  • Improved Transparency: Helps customers clearly communicate when a submission was received.

  • Flexible Formatting: Honors the customer’s configured date/time preferences for localized accuracy.

This new token gives customers the tools they need to meet legal requirements while maintaining consistent communication and recordkeeping.
