 "Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
  • Employee Central

Resolution

  • When any workflow is actioned upon (commenting, send back, approve, decline), the intended participants receive email notifications as per the email notification template settings.
  • The sender of the email will be the person who has actioned on the workflow recently.
    •  In below sample notification, the workflow is approved by James Kwok and, hence, the sender name would be James Kwok:

Notes:

  • The only way you can mask the Sender is by using the 'Single Sender' option from within provisioning
  • The Sender can not be manipulated or changed per the individual workflow
