When Carerix sends an event to HireData, the event contains the fields enabled for the relevant object in your Carerix connection. This guide explains which candidate fields are commonly available, where to find their keys, and how to confirm exactly what HireData received for a specific record.

How Carerix fields reach HireData

Each Carerix connection has its own enabled field set. This means the fields available in one HireData account can differ from those in another account, even when both use the same Carerix object. The connection’s Object Definition determines which fields are available to new events and automations. A real event’s Data tab then shows the values HireData received for one specific record.
Use the field table below as a guide to common Candidate fields. Your connection settings and the event’s Data tab are the source of truth for the fields available in your account.

Candidate fields at a glance

The standard Candidate object commonly includes the following fields: When an automation only needs a usable email address, Any Email Address can be more reliable than selecting one specific email field. See Combined Fields Explained for the complete fallback order.

Confirm the fields in your connection

Check the Carerix connection when you need to know whether a field is enabled or which key HireData uses for it.
  1. Go to Settings > Apps.
  2. Open Carerix.
  3. Open the three-dot menu for the relevant connection and select Edit.
  4. Select an object, such as Candidate, Contact, Meeting, or User.
  5. Review the Object Definition table.
The table shows each field’s Label, Type, and Key. Only enabled fields are available to new events for that object. If the field you need is disabled, see Enable Carerix Fields and Relationships before changing the connection.

Inspect the exact event payload

Use a real event when you need to confirm which fields and values HireData received for an individual record.
  1. Select Events in the main navigation.
  2. Find and open the relevant Carerix event.
  3. Select the Data tab.
  4. Use the available table or tree view to explore the fields.
  5. Select the code view (</>) when you need to inspect the raw JSON or confirm an exact key and value.
The event’s Runs tab shows which automations processed it. This is useful when the payload contains the expected field but an automation did not behave as intended. For a fuller explanation of the event detail view, see Events.

Choose the appropriate Carerix trigger

When you configure a Carerix Start block, the trigger picker can include:
  • Created
  • Created or Updated
  • Updated
  • Schedule
  • Manual
Choose the trigger that matches when the automation should start. For example, use Created or Updated when the same automation should handle both new records and later changes. Deleted is not currently offered in the trigger picker.

Troubleshoot a missing field

If a field exists in Carerix but does not appear in HireData:
  1. Confirm that you are checking the correct Carerix object.
  2. Open the connection’s Object Definition and confirm that the field is enabled.
  3. If the field was recently created or changed in Carerix, run a manual sync.
  4. Create or update a test record to generate a new event.
  5. Inspect the new event’s Data tab and code view.
Enabling a field does not add it to events that HireData received earlier. Use a newly generated event when testing a connection change.
