📋 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 the one selected.
If yes, it continues to the next step, which is waiting for a specific length of time. After this, it retrieves the hiring stage of the candidate, and if it matches the one from the first step, a message will be posted by Slack Workbot.
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! 😊
