Request Status Changed Event

The statusChanged event is intended to publish a message whenever the status of a Request changes as it traverses the approval workflow during its life cycle. Subscribers of the event are able to leverage the data in the message to perform synchronous or asynchronous actions depending on their business processes. For example, this could trigger an application to make API calls to Concur Request or start of a process in a third party application.

The statusChanged event will always be published for the following status changes without any additional configuration:

  • Whenever a Request is submitted.
  • Whenever a Request is sent back to the employee by an approver/processor.
  • Whenever a Request is recalled by the employee.
  • Whenever a Request is closed.
  • Whenever a Request is reopened.
  • Whenever a Request is cancelled.
  • Whenever a Request is approved.
  • Whenever a Request stops in the legacy external validation step that is. configured using the application connector.

In addition to the above, any workflow step configured for notifications by the administrator will also be published. Please refer to the Procedure: Creating External Validations and Workflow Event Notifications section of the Workflow General - Setup Guide for more information on how the events can be configured and optimized.
