Write-backs enable seamless data updates in the system by creating new entities, modifying existing records, or adding contextual notes. 

Types of Write-Backs

  • OWB (Object Write-Back): This creates a new entity, e.g., creating candidates from referrals.
  • FWB (Field Write-Back): This updates a field in an existing entity, e.g., setting the source value as Sense Referral for a referred candidate.
  • NWB (Note Write-Back): Adds a note to an entity, e.g., logging "job assigned in referral" to a candidate.

Supported Entity Types

  • Candidate
  • Job Submission

Prerequisites

You need to have an active VPN connection before proceeding.
