Follow the steps below to safely test your workflow using a test candidate in Greenhouse.

⚙️ Before You Start

1. Turn off the Cooling Down period
   • If you plan to test more than one workflow, disable the Cooling down period to avoid delays between triggers.
2. Prepare your Greenhouse test candidate
   • Create a test application in Greenhouse using your own email address.
   • Give the test candidate a recognizable name, e.g. "Test".

🧩 Configure the Workflow for Testing

1. Add a test filter
   • In your workflow’s Filter step, add a condition that targets your test candidate.
   • Example: Candidate First Name is Test.
   • This ensures the workflow only triggers for your test candidate.

📘

Tip: This prevents real candidates from being affected while you test.

2. Update and save
   • Click Update Filter → Save workflow.
3. Enable the workflow
   • Switch your workflow to Enabled mode so it can start listening for the trigger event.

🚀 Trigger the Workflow

1. In Greenhouse, reject your test candidate.

   • If your workflow includes an additional condition (e.g., Rejection stage = Face-to-Face), make sure the candidate is moved to that stage first before rejecting.
   • If other filters are defined in the workflow, confirm your test candidate meets all of them.

2. Return to Integrations > Greenhouse > Logs to check whether the workflow was triggered.

   ✅ If you see a log entry → the workflow ran successfully.

   ❌ If no log appears → the workflow didn’t trigger. In that case, contact your **Customer Success Manager **or use chat support for troubleshooting.

🔁 Retesting Your Workflow

For safety reasons, a candidate can only trigger the same workflow once.

If you’d like to test again:

• Create a new test candidate in Greenhouse, or
• Duplicate the workflow, enable the copy, and rerun the test.
