Symptom
- Offboarding email templates are not being sent to a specific task owner. Other tasks assignees receive their emails successfully.
- (OFB) Custom Offboarding Task Initiated Template
- (OFB) Custom Offboarding Task Completion Template
- The task owner is correctly assigned to the task and the tasks appear on the user’s home page; tasks can be completed.
- No email appear for the affected task in Email Services > Email Status.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Define the custom task in offboarding programs (Manage Onboarding and Offboarding Tasks > Offboarding Programs).
- Configure the responsible user/group to this task and confirm the task appears on the user’s home page.
- Check Email Services > Email Status and note no emails are listed for the affected task assignee.
Cause
The affected task assignee had “No, don’t send me email notifications” selected in Settings > Notifications, which caused the system to skip constructing and sending the emails.
Resolution
- Go to affected user homepage
- Settings > Notifications
- Change the preference from “No, don’t send me email notifications” to allow receiving email notifications.
- Save the change.
In addition, make sure the recipient is an active user with a valid email address in the system.
