How can I automatically launch a workflow agent in a candidate selection process?

You can configure a candidate selection process automated action so that it launches a published HCM workflow agent automatically when a selected process event or state occurs and defined conditions are met.

  1. Add the Initiate Workflow Agent action in a candidate selection process.
    1. Go to Setup and Maintenance > Recruiting and Candidate Experience > Candidate Job Applications > Candidate Selection Process Configuration.
    2. Create a selection process or open an existing one.
    3. Click a phase.
    4. Add the Initiate Workflow Agent action to one or more event or state.
    5. Select an agent. Note that you can only select published workflow agents in the HCM family.
      When the action launches the agent, it passes the submission ID to the agent (the unique identifier of the job application that triggered the action). To receive this value, the workflow agent must have a webhook trigger named submissionId, configured with the Number type. The submission ID is the only attribute passed to the agent. If the agent needs additional context, it can use the submission ID to retrieve it—for example, to derive the requisition ID.
  2. Run the Initiate Recruiting Candidate Selection Process Agents scheduled process.
    1. Go to Navigator > Tools > Scheduled Process
