Integration trigger through a non-user event

Posted by Anonymous (not verified) on in Standard Integration Questions

Hi all, new to iCIMS so pardon any obvious lack of knowledge. I did search through all the posts and could not find exactly what I was looking for. I'm working on an integration where there is external automation triggered by the receipt of an third party assessment. In all of the integration events, it seems like the trigger is by some user, employee or candidate action. Is there one that can be triggered by an incoming assessment from a third party vendor? It might be a case for polling, but I wanted to explore the push option.

Thanks in advance,
David

Hi David,
The functionality the way you are describing it does not exist. Depending on the automation you are looking for based on assessment results there are options. Prime Assessment integrations provide Automatic Workflow Disposition which allows the user to choose what status to move a candidate to based on assessment results. If the assessment provider is using the standard API they can customize code to move the candidate to a specified status. This requires a POST to add a new recruiting workflow entry. There are other configuration settings in iCIMS that can automate certain other actions.

Thanks for the response. I think the assessment provider is using the standard API. By status, Are you referring to the "recommend" or "not recommend" indicator based on the results of an assessment? Is there some automation that can be configured in iCIMS where the applicant can be moved to a different workflow status based on the assessment result? This would be a little tricky because in some cases, there could be two separate assessments and the workflow status should only be updated once both results were available.
