Overview

Alerts Composer is a tool that enables you to send informational notifications to Oracle HCM Cloud users by email and worklist.

You can configure the notification templates and add recipients. On the home page, click Navigator > Alerts Composer to open the tool. Notifications are triggered based on predefined conditions for two types of alerts.

  • Event Alerts: Event Alerts are based on the context provided by the calling client. They're triggered when a specific event occurs in the application. You can't modify the triggering criteria for notifications.

    For example, Time Exceptions from Compliance Rules is a predefined Event alert which is triggered when compliance exceptions are available. Notifications are sent to managers informing them of the exceptions.

  • Resource Alerts: Resource Alerts are based on Oracle HCM Cloud REST API resources. The resources must be deployed in the environment. You can modify the triggering criteria for notifications by defining filters on the resource attributes if you have the required privileges to access the REST resources.

    For example, Visa Expiration is a sample Resource alert which is triggered when a worker visa is approaching expiration. A filter is defined on the workers resource for the visa attribute. Notifications are sent to the worker and the manager informing them of visa expiration.
