📋 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 candidate 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 deal stage is Won:

    • If yes, it continues to the next step, which is to create an invoice according to the requirements in the app of your choice (Xero/QuickBooks/Sellsy).

    • 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!😊
