IMPORTANT: ASK THE MINISTER OF INTEGRATION FOR GAMESIDE PERMS TO RECRUIT
Before proceeding, you must be in the Executive Discord Server since that is where recruitment is done, and where the bulk of executive work (including Integration and other ministries as well) happens. Once you have joined the server, you should see the #manual-recruitment channel in the Ministry of Integration category. There, you will find the bot kindly provided to us by Europeia named "TNP Recruitment," which is what we use to recruit. You will learn how to use said bot as you read through the guide.
Instructions - First Steps
Step 1.
Head on over to the Telegrams page and click the "New Telegram" button. An empty field will show up, and at the "To:" field, enter tag:template. This will give you the code to your template once you've sent it.
You should see something like this.
Afterwards, in the big empty message field, you will need to put in the actual recruitment telegram. See below:
Once you've filled in the empty field with the text provided above, click the little arrow just beside the "To:" field and tick the box that will mark your telegram for recruitment. After that, select "The North Pacific." This is very important. Site Moderation will get you in trouble if you send out recruitment telegrams without marking it as recruitment.
All done? Great! Just send it out. To view your template, click on the selection button above the "To:" field and select "Sent Items." See below:
It should look something like this.
Now, to actually send out recruitment telegrams, you will need the template code that looks something like "%TEMPLATE-XXXXXXXX%". To view this, click "Recruitment & Delivery Reports." The numbers will be different for each template, but that's what it looks like generally. In it, you will also see valuable statistics like Delivered, Read, Recruits, and more.
