3770115 - Inquiry about sending the Welcome Letter notification to the assigned recruiter/TA along with the new hire.

Symptom

  • Inquiry about sending the Welcome Letter notification to the assigned recruiter/TA along with the new hire.
  • The system sends the Welcome Letter email only to the candidate.
  • Requirement for the assigned recruiter/TA to receive a notification to track onboarding communication.
  • Questions about configuring the Welcome Letter to cc the assigned recruiter/TA or to send a separate notification.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Send the standard Welcome Letter email in Onboarding.
  2. Observe that the email is delivered only to the candidate.
  3. Navigate to Email Services > Email Categories and attempt to use CC Recipient Builder to include the assigned recruiter/TA.
  4. Observe that the Welcome Letter notification does not support CC or a separate notification to the assigned recruiter/TA.

Cause

By-design limitation: the Welcome Letter email does not support CC recipients or a separate notification to the assigned recruiter/TA.

Resolution

  1. Acknowledge that the Welcome Letter email in Onboarding does not support CC recipients; CC Recipient Builder works for other notifications but not for the Welcome Letter.
  2. Recognize that there is no supported configuration or workaround to send the Welcome Letter directly to the assigned recruiter/TA as a primary recipient at the same time.
  3. If this capability is required, submit an enhancement idea through the official influence channel.
  4. For other Onboarding notifications where CC is supported, configure CC Recipient Builder as needed.
