In the below will try cover SuccessFactors Integration Center, Intelligent Service Center and SAP CPI configuration to complete whole scenario working end to end.

SAP Cloud Platform -Integration Service Configuration:

Login into your SAP CPI tenant and create an IFlow with following modelling.

Step 3:

Add Router Step to have separate branch for New Hire and Terminate events.

Step 3.1:

Add Content modifier to form body that is required by Open Connector G-Suite Element for New User creation.

Sample JSON

{
	"name": {
		"familyName": "${property.familyName}",
		"givenName": "${property.givenName}"
	},
	"password": "${property.password}",
	"primaryEmail": "${property.primaryEmail}"
}

Step 4.1:

Add Content Modifier to set body for Deletion ( it might not be required but for logging purpose I have added this step ).

Step 4.2:

Add receiver Open Connector Adapter to connect with SAP Open Connector instance.

Copy the SOAP End Point url from manage integration content tile of SAP CPI monitoring to use it further in SuccessFactors.

SuccessFactors Configuration:

We will be configuring Integration Center and Intelligent Service Center to Send the Event update whenever there is New Hire or Termination happens.

Step 1:

Login into SuccessFactors and search for Integration Center which opens up below screen.

Create new fields to have below structure to be received in SAP CPI.

	<EventReason>HIRNEW</EventReason>
	<EmailID>balaji.verma@test.com</EmailID>

below should be final structure after all the field mappings completed.

Step 6:

Click on Destination Setting and Provide End point url you have configured from SAP CPI.

Step 7:

SuccessFactors Intelligent Service Center for generating event which is listened by integration Center.

Step 1:

Search for Intelligent Service Center from search option of SuccessFactors to get below window and then search for Employee Hire event .Click on Employee Hire to configure further actions.

Step 2:

Create a new flow ( you can rename it ) which has 2 parts Flow Rule( Business Rule to know when to trigger event ) and Flow Activity ( which captures what activity needs to be performed after Event triggered ).

Step 3:

Click on Create New Rule to have below rule updated.

Step 4:
