These features are enabled when Intelligent Services is turned on via the Upgrade Center:

  • Business Process Engine
  • Generic Objects
  • Attachment Manager
  • Intelligent Services Center and Intelligent Services

📌 Notes on the bell notifications feature:

  • Bell notification icon gets displayed if Intelligent Services is turned on.
  • The only way that the Bell Notification icon can display in the header while proxied is if the Global Notifications through Intelligent Services is supported by the company

Any SuccessFactors product can raise and publish an event. Whenever that event is triggered by the publishing product, those subscribed products automatically receive notification of the event, with information relevant to the change.

The Event Center Admin tool allows you to view events, subscribers and the number of events raised in the past seven days.

  2. Publisher This tab shows the External Event Endpoint in Admin Center link to direct you to the Event Notification Subscription tool, which is where you can configure a third party application to receive notifications.
  3. Subscribers This tab shows a list of applications that are subscribers to the event. Subscribers are SuccessFactors applications that receive the notifications.
