Applications

Growing your team is easy with Zander's application system. Showcase open roles on your website, let players apply with one click, and keep listings organised from the dashboard - all without managing a separate recruitment tool.

For Players

Open applications are listed publicly at /apply. Each listing shows:

• The role or position name
• A description of what the role involves
• The requirements for applying (Markdown-formatted)

Applications with a closed status are shown as closed with no apply action. Click Apply on any open listing to go to the application:

• If the application is linked to a Zander Forms form, you're taken to /forms/<slug> to fill it out in-platform.
• Otherwise, you're taken to an external Redirect URL (Google Form, Typeform, custom URL, etc.) in a new tab.

No login or permission is required to view or apply from this public page.

tip

Use the Discord /apply command to get a quick link to the applications page without leaving Discord.

For Staff

Applications are managed from Dashboard → Applications (requires zander.web.application).

Creating an Application

From the dashboard, click Create and fill in the following fields:

Field	Description
Display Name	The role or position name shown on the listing card
Description	A short summary of the role or opportunity
Display Icon	Icon shown on the listing card
Requirements	Markdown-formatted list of requirements for the role
Type	external (send applicants to a Redirect URL) or linked_form (send applicants to an in-house Zander form)
Redirect URL	Where applicants are sent when they click "Apply" - used for external type (Google Form, Typeform, custom URL, etc.)
Linked Form	Which Forms form to submit through - used for linked_form type
Position	Display order on the applications page - lower numbers appear first
Status	Whether the application is open or closed

note

external application submissions are not stored in Zander - the Redirect URL points to wherever you collect responses. linked_form applications are stored in Zander, as regular Forms responses; see Forms for how those responses are reviewed. Either way, Zander manages the listing display.

Managing Listings

• Reorder listings by adjusting the position number.
• Edit any field, including switching between external and linked_form type.
• Close an application by setting its status to closed - it disappears from the public page but is preserved in the dashboard.
• Delete listings you no longer need.

Every create, edit, and delete is written to the audit log.

Feature Toggle

"applications": false

Turning this off hides the /apply page and makes the Discord /apply command tell users the feature is unavailable.
