Invalid Event Registration Outcomes

When updated, the Event Registration Outcome(s) may have become invalid. This happens when the list options for the Set Candidate Status section change from job to group or vice versa.

• For example: When creating a conversation and configuring the Area of Interest question (group), create an event with the outcome Do Not Register & Send Closing Message in the Registration tab. After that, the user edits the hiring custom conversation and changes the question from Area of Interest to Job Selection and republishes the conversation successfully.

When this occurs, an outstanding task will display on the Events Dashboards for Event Managers only. You can update the Event Registration Outcome(s) for upcoming hiring events by following the steps below.

1. Click the All Apps button in the top left corner of the header.
2. Click Events from its drop-down menu.
3. Click into the corresponding hiring event from the Events page.
4. Within the outstanding task, click the Edit Outcome button.

   • Note: When the outcome is updated to be valid, the red outline and the warning banner will disappear.

Lead Generation Events

1. Create your event conversation.
2. Select Hiring Event as your Conversation Targeting.
3. Add all questions that require a candidate to add in their information.
4. Add the Talent Community Opt-In question type.
