Steps

Query

If you select the audience via query, set the following:

  1. Enter a relevant item name.

  2. In the Query Name list, select your query for employees you want the ripple to trigger for.

Manual

If you want to manually select your audience, set the following:

  1. If relevant, set the Companies, Locations, Departments, Job roles and Employment types filters. If not, leave them as All and enter specific employees.

  2. You can also enter employees you want to exclude from this ripple audience.

  3. Enter an item name.

Repeat

This feature stops an action from repeating for an employee unless you set a repeat interval. For example, if set to 2 days, the action will only repeat if the employee is still in the query after 2 days.

๐Ÿ“ŒNote: You can not set set a specific date for the ripple to repeat only set date intervals.

  1. In the Automation Ripple list, select the ripple you just created.

  2. Add a relevant description.

  3. If you want to trigger the ripple immediately, leave the Effective Date blank. If you want to schedule it to run on a specific date, enter an effective date.

๐Ÿ“ŒNote: Background ripples run every 20 minutes.

  • To start triggering the ripple for new starters, select Start immediately for new starter.

  • To set the ripple to repeat for an employee, enter a relevant number of days. Otherwise, the ripple doesn't repeat.

๐Ÿ“ŒNote: Ripple is not triggered for leavers who already left the company. Once the final day of employment passes, they will be exited from the ripple.
