Symptom
A custom email template was configured using the Onboarding Activity Recipient Builder for the CC Recipient Builder.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure a custom email template
- Use the Onboarding Activity Recipient Builder for the CC Recipient Builder.
- In production, assign users to primary and secondary tasks (e.g., IT Checklist and AP Checklist).
- Complete an onboarding task
- Observe that the user who completed the IT Checklist receives the email as expected, but users assigned to the AP Checklist also receive a blank copy of the IT Checklist email.
Cause
Configuration issue related to the use of the Onboarding Activity Recipient Builder as the CC Recipient Builder.
Resolution
- Verify the configuration of the custom email template
- Confirm that the Onboarding Activity Recipient Builder is set as the CC Recipient Builder, which sends emails to all responsible users of an activity/program.
- To ensure emails are sent only to specific recipients (e.g., Manager or a specific user), use the Explicit Recipient Builder to specify users by their email or name.
