The automation on this page listens for a Carerix candidate whose Example text field changes to a set value, finds that candidate, and adds a task to Carerix for the candidate’s owner. One change in Carerix produced the event, run, run steps, and task below, and each section shows where that stage is on the screen and what it tells you.

​
Event

The event is the change Carerix reported. It is the same event for every automation in the workspace. The event page for Candidate: Updated, with the Event Information panel on the left and the Data tab listing EntityId 6416, seven changed fields, the time, and the type cremployee:updated What to read. The heading names the object and the trigger, Candidate: Updated. Event Information gives the app, the trigger, and the event date. References names the record the event is about, and Related People lists the person HireData matched to it. The Data tab is the payload as Carerix sent it. EntityId is the record id and ChangedFields lists what changed, here additionalinfo, the group that holds the Example text field. The Changes tab shows the new value of each changed field, and the Runs tab lists every run this event started. The Runs tab of the same event, listing two Finished runs: Docs: follow a Carerix run and Blank Automation What it tells you. One event can start several runs. This event started two, because two active automations in the workspace listen for Carerix candidate updates. The run you want is the one on the automation you are following. Find events under Settings > Events. Events: inspect payloads from connected apps explains the filters and the raw request view.

​
Run

The run is the automation’s work for this one event. Click the run’s row on the event’s Runs tab to open it. The run page for run 27113015: the Start card, Find Candidate in Carerix with Completed below it, Add Task to Carerix, and the Event panel on the right with the Overview tab and the timeline What to read. The canvas is the automation drawn top to bottom, with a status line on the connector below every step the run reached. “Run Started: Today at 4:41 PM” sits under the Start card, “Completed: Today at 4:41 PM” under the Find task, and “Completed: Today at 4:42 PM” under Add Task once you scroll. A step with no line was never reached. The Event panel on the right opens by default. Its Overview repeats the Start settings that let this event through, App, Connection, Object, Trigger, and Filter, then the Timeline. What it tells you. The timeline is the run in order. Run Scheduled and Run Started are the event arriving and the run beginning. Each step then writes two entries, first its status (“Find: Completed”) and then what the run did next (“Find: Run Moved” to the following step, or “Add Task: Run Finished” when the last step is done). A run that stopped early ends with a “Cancelled” entry and a message instead. The Runs list shows the same runs with their state and, for a stopped run, the step that stopped it. Setup documents the Start node and the Event panel it opens on the run page.

​
Step inputs and outputs

Click a task’s name on the canvas to open its run step. The Find step shows what it found; the step after it shows what it received. The Find run step, headed Find with badges Run Moved: 2 and Completed, a Match found line for #6416 HireData tester, and a Record Data block listing the candidate's fields What to read. The Find step opens on a Match found line with the record’s id and name. The arrow icon opens the record in Carerix. Record Data lists every field of the record as the app returned it, ids, names, salutations, the CV summary, dates, and more. Scroll the block to see them all. The Run Moved badge matches the step’s last timeline entry, and Completed is its status. Unlike the Message and Update steps, this drawer has no Overview and Fields tabs. The Fields tab of the Add Task run step listing three fields: Now with a datetime value, Find Candidate: Id with 6416, and Find Candidate: Owner: Id with 1 What it tells you. The Add Task step’s Fields tab lists the values it read from the run, each with the icon of the step that produced it and a type badge. Find Candidate: Id and Find Candidate: Owner: Id came from the Find step, which is the whole reason the Find sits before the Add Task. Now is the run’s clock. Its value on this tab is the time you opened the drawer, not the time the task ran, so read the task’s own times on the Overview tab instead. Find documents the step and what an empty result does to the run.

​
Task

The last step created a task in Carerix. Its run step shows what HireData wrote, and Carerix shows what arrived. The Overview tab of the Add Task run step: a Taak (9077) link, Status To do, When? and Expires At timestamps, and the Content with the subject and body What to read. The Overview of an Add step links to the record it created, here Taak (9077). Carerix supplies that label in the language of its account, so this Dutch sandbox says Taak where an English account says Task. Status, When?, and Expires At are the values Carerix stored. When? is one hour after the run, the offset set on the step, and Expires At is the run time. Both are timestamps as Carerix reports them, so they need not match the clock on the run page. Content is the subject and body the step wrote, and Related Records links the candidate and owner it attached. The task in Carerix, Task 9077 Docs: check availability for HireData tester, with Kind Task, Status TO DO, a date and time, an expiration date, and the subject and body under Content What it tells you. Open the Taak (9077) link and Carerix shows the same task from its side. The status is TO DO, the time is one hour after the run, and the subject and body match the step’s Content. Carerix records the task as modified by “Automated” rather than by a colleague. Add documents the step and where the created record’s fields appear.

​
Outcome

The automation’s own page sums up every run so far. The read-only automation page with Run Stats showing Finished 1 and Total 1, the connector under Find reading Looked up: 1x item, and the connector under Add Task reading Added: 1x task What to read. Run Stats on the left counts runs by state. The connectors between the steps count what each step did across all runs, “Looked up: 1x item” under the Find and “Added: 1x task” under the Add Task. Each count is a link to the Runs list filtered to that step and status. What it tells you. Finished means every step completed and the run reached the end flag. A run that stopped early would count under a different state here, show “Cancelled” on the step that stopped it on the run page, and carry a message in the timeline. Run cancellation reasons lists those messages and what to change before you start a new run.
