3460200 - Onboarding stopped extracting documents via API - Onboarding 1.0

• There is a custom Boomi-based integration that extracts new hires’ documents of two types:
  • Uploaded forms by the candidate
  • Generated forms from Onboarding
• The API of ONB 1.0 does not return documents that were uploaded manually by candidates on panels (while the filled-in forms are extracted fine).
• Instead of pdf, the API returns an html code with no document content.

For fetching the forms which were generated by the system, customer is using:

• "GetForm.aspx?Id=<DocId>&AccountName=<AccountName>"

But for fetching the uploaded docs, the customer is using:

• "GetDocument.aspx?Id=<DocId>&AccountName=<AccountName>"

Instead, please ensure you use GetForm as mentioned below.

• "GetForm.aspx?Id=<DocId>&AccountName=<AccountName>&ActivityType=Uploaded"

You will get to know from the WorkQueue call, whether the given document is uploaded one or not. There is a flag.

With that you should be able to add this parameter to download the uploaded documents.
