Orbit connections

See what Careers Orbit shares with Orbit's other satellites, count visits with Insights Orbit, and find where each connection is set up.

How-to guide2 min read

Open Orbit connections under Organisation. It has one card for each of Orbit's other satellites.

What the badges mean

Every card has one of these badges, the same in every satellite:

  • Working: the connection is on, or needs nothing from you. The card lists what flows each way and where to change it.
  • Ready to set up: the connection is set up on this page or one click away. The card has the button or switch for it.
  • Set up in another satellite: the switch lives in the other satellite, and this one can't see whether it is on. Open takes you to the exact page.
  • Nothing to connect yet: the two satellites don't share anything yet. The card says what to do instead, where there is something.
  • Not in your organisation: your organisation doesn't have that satellite. Add it in Orbit opens your organisation's Billing in Orbit, where an owner can start a free trial.

The line at the top counts them, such as "2 working · 1 ready to set up", and the cards are sorted the same way. Each card lists what comes From the other satellite, what goes Into it, and what works Both ways.

Orbit connections are only links between Orbit's own satellites. Outside services, such as Stripe, MAM, Sendcloud, Twilio, review sites or your own website, are set up elsewhere in each satellite.

Insights Orbit

Choose the Insights site your career pages belong to on the Insights Orbit card, such as the Northwilds site. The hosted career pages then count visits without cookies, where candidates came from, and every application as an Applied event you can use as a goal in Insights Orbit. Choose Stop counting to turn it off. Admins can change it; everyone else can look.

Commerce Orbit, Presence Orbit and Travel Orbit

A sending domain set up in Careers Orbit, Commerce Orbit, Presence Orbit or Travel Orbit sends email from all of them, so these cards always say Working.

CMS Orbit

A website space in CMS Orbit can show your open jobs. Its editors turn on your career site under Configuration › Orbit connections in CMS Orbit, then add the Open roles block, filtered by team, location or type, or a Featured job. Jobs stay current: a new job appears and a closed one leaves the page by itself, and applying works as on your career pages. This card links to CMS Orbit, since the connection is made there.

A website built without CMS Orbit gets jobs from the Careers SDK, or links to your hosted career pages. To refresh your own website's job pages when a job changes, use the website webhook.
