📋 Overview of each step in the Recipe


1. Trigger: New Candidate Hiring Stage Updated in Recruit CRM

This is the starting point of the automation. It gets triggered whenever a new candidate hiring stage is updated in Recruit CRM.

2. Actions:

  • Monitor step:

    It helps in monitoring the following actions for errors. This makes the automation more reliable.

  • IF Condition:

    Checks whether the updated hiring stage ('Label Datapill') is exactly 'Placed' and

    If yes, it continues to the next step, which is getting all candidates in the 'Placed' stage for that job. If it matches the number of vacancies, the job will be marked as 'Closed'.

  • If no, then no further action is taken.

  • Error Handler:

    If something fails within the Monitor block, then this step is triggered. The Retry Logic ensures that if the errors match those specified (429, 500–504), it retries the monitored actions up to 3 times. If the error continues after 3 retries, or if the error doesn’t match the handled types, the automation stops.

Hope this helps! 😊
