Symptom
- Users want to include the value entered in the “Additional Comments” field when canceling an Onboarding process in the cancellation email notification.
- Users ask whether a standard email token exists for this field and whether it is supported in the Cancel Onboarding email category.
- Users ask if there is any standard alternative to include the cancellation comments in the notification.
- No error message is displayed; the token for this value cannot be made to work.
Environment
SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Cancel an Onboarding process and enter text in the “Additional Comments” field.
- Configure or edit the Cancel Onboarding email notification template.
- Attempt to use a token to render the “Additional Comments” value in the email.
- Send or preview the email and observe that the value is not populated; no working token is available for this field.
Cause
The product currently does not support exposing the cancellation “Additional Comments” as a token, and creating a custom token for this value is not supported.
Resolution
- Acknowledge that there is no standard token for the cancellation “Additional Comments” field in the Cancel Onboarding email category, and a custom token cannot be created for this value.
- If this capability is required, submit an enhancement request so it can be considered for a future release.
- Refer to the general guidance on adding custom tokens for other supported fields, noting that it does not enable tokens for cancellation “Additional Comments”.
- An enhancement request can be submitted for detailed review and voting. This request may be implemented in the next product version.
