Symptom
System sends Onboarding Reminder Emails based on a fixed schedule, without allowing users to configure the exact sending time, which may result in emails being sent outside working hours or misaligned with specific Onboarding/Offboarding timelines.
Environment
SAP Successfactors Onboarding
Resolution
Onboarding reminder emails are triggered based solely on activity due dates and the configured reminder frequency (for example, "every 3 days before the due date").
Currently, there are no options to configure:
- An exact time of day (for example, 10:00 AM).
- Alignment with local business hours.
- Custom timing based on specific onboarding journey stages.
Therefore, it is not currently possible to configure the exact sending time for SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding reminder emails within the system's existing functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
