Use case scenario: Create a job requisition in SAP SuccessFactors and send an email to the hiring manager about the job requisition
In this flow, when SAP SuccessFactors receives a new request containing the properties, a new job requisition is created on SAP SuccessFactors. This information is then sent to the hiring manager as an email.
The following are the steps involved in the flow:
1. In the request, properties such are ID, Template ID, User's ID, Country ID, Job ID, Employee ID, State, Country, and Hiring manager email are defined.
2. Using the Create job requisition operation, a new job requisition is created in SAP SuccessFactors based on the defined parameters.
3. The Send email operation in the Gmail connector is used to send an email to the hiring manager containing all the defined values.
