Symptom
Onboarding Email Services Master KBA
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Resolution
Email notifications are an integral part of the onboarding process that help channel vital information to onboarding participants, for reference or action or both.
- Multiple email templates might be triggering for the same trigger and email of the recipient(mostly manager) is not maintained in the Employee File for them. Make sure valid emails are maintained in the Employee Profile of all the recipients for all the templates.
- Multiple email templates might be triggering for the same trigger and email of the recipient(mostly manager) is unsubscribed. For the manager of the new hire, the Email Notifications are not enabled/unsubscribed under Change User Email Notifications setting. There might be a case where multiple active profiles for the new hire's manager exists in the system and for all of them same email ID is maintained. For one of the profile the emails are unsubscribed in this setting which could cause this issue.
