Configure User Signals settings in your organization.
User Signals allow Process designers to react to changes to user accounts. When a change occurs to a user account, a BPMN 2.0 Signal event triggers; any Process that subscribes to that Signal can react. The Signal includes a payload containing that user’s data as a data array.
Below is a description of each user-type event and the Signal ID value to use for its corresponding Signal.
When a User Signal event triggers, the following occurs:
That User Signal broadcasts the _user
Magic Variable containing the user account affected by that User Signal event. For example, the full name set in the affected user account is accessible with JSON dot notation as _user.fullname
. See the _user
Magic Variable to reference any JSON object within this Magic Variable.
The User Signal event broadcasts any User Enhanced Properties and the affected user account's corresponding values.
