Symptom
When using the following candidate-specific email tokens in the Outlook Response to Interview Organizer email trigger, the tokens do not populate with the expected candidate information:
- [[CANDIDATE_FIRST_NAME]]
- [[CANDIDATE_LAST_NAME]]
- [[CANDIDATE_FULL_NAME]]
- [[CANDIDATE_EMAIL]]

Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting
Cause
Candidate-specific tokens are only resolved when the email context is associated with a specific candidate.
The Outlook Response to Interview Organizer email trigger is associated with the interview as a whole and may involve multiple candidates. Since the notification is sent to the recipient in the context of the overall interview rather than a single specific candidate, the system does not have a unique candidate context from which to populate the candidate-specific tokens.
Therefore, the following tokens cannot be resolved by this email trigger:
- [[CANDIDATE_FIRST_NAME]]
- [[CANDIDATE_LAST_NAME]]
- [[CANDIDATE_FULL_NAME]]
- [[CANDIDATE_EMAIL]]
This is expected system behavior.
Resolution
Candidate-specific detail tokens are not supported for the Outlook Response to Interview Organizer email trigger.
To determine which tokens are supported for a specific email trigger:
- Navigate to Admin Center > Recruiting Email Triggers.
- Select the relevant email trigger.
- Select Supported Tokens.
- Click View Tokens to review the tokens supported by the selected trigger.
