Actions

The tasks a workflow performs when triggered.

Actions are the steps a workflow performs. You can chain multiple actions in a single workflow; they execute in order from top to bottom.

Available actions

Send email

Sends an email to the candidate using a message template. Configure:

  • Template - select from your org's message templates
  • Subject override - optionally replace the template's subject line

Merge fields in the template are resolved at execution time using the trigger's context.

Move to stage

Moves the candidate's application to a different hiring stage. Configure:

  • Target stage - select from the position's pipeline stages
This action requires a position-scoped workflow because the stage must belong to the workflow's position.

Set property

Updates a custom field value on the candidate or application record. Configure:

  • Target - candidate or application
  • Field - select from available custom fields
  • Value - the value to set

Adding actions

In the workflow builder, click the + button between nodes (or below the last action) to add a new action. A palette shows available actions; actions incompatible with the current trigger are disabled with an explanation.
