# Workflow Automation Rules Guide

This guide explains the available Automation rules in Workflow Tools. Use this when creating automation rules to understand trigger-condition-action combinations for each step.

***

### Rule Structure

Every automation rule requires:

* **1 Trigger** (unique per rule - when something happens)
* **1+ Conditions** (filters that must be met)
* **1+ Actions** (what happens automatically)

***

### Screening Step

| # | Trigger | Conditions | Actions | Use Case |
| :- | :- | :- | :- | :- |
| 1 | Candidate added to screening step | Evaluator not assigned | Auto-assign evaluator | Ensure every candidate gets an evaluator immediately |
| 2 | Candidate added to screening step | Evaluation not completed + Time delay: 24/48/72 hours | Remind evaluator via email | Nudge evaluators who haven't completed screening evaluations |
| 3 | Candidate enters screening step | Assessment must be available in workflow | Auto-move to assessment step | Fast-track candidates to assessment without manual intervention |

***

### Assessment Step

| # | Trigger | Conditions | Actions | Use Case |
| :- | :- | :- | :- | :- |
| 1 | Candidate assessment completed | Time from completion: 24/48/72 hours | Remind evaluator via email | Nudge evaluators to review completed assessments |
| 2 | Assessment invite sent (candidate reminder) | No response after selected invite time: 24/48/72 hours | Remind candidate via email | Nudge candidates who haven't started assessment |
| 3 | Assessment invite sent (evaluator assignment) | Evaluator not assigned | Auto-assign evaluator | Ensure evaluator is ready to review post-completion |
| 4 | Assessment invite sent (unresponsive candidate) | Assessment not completed + Time delay: 3/5/7 days | Update status to 'Turned Down' | Auto-reject candidates who don't complete assessment |
