Configure Jobfeed Job Imports

This section describes how to configure the features for import of Textkernel Jobfeed data into Salesforce. Jobfeed organizes published job postings into a structured, searchable database. Recruiters and staffing business developers can use these features to import Jobfeed jobs into their Salesforce org.

Jobfeed batch import workflows

The Textkernel Connector supports 3 Jobfeed import workflows:

1. Single-record import from Jobfeed UI search results
2. Batch import from Jobfeed search results in Textkernel Search and Match
3. Batch import from the Salesforce Account view widget

All three workflows create Textkernel Jobfeed Job records inside Salesforce for the selected Jobfeed records. The imported records make the Textkernel Jobfeed data available right inside Salesforce. Depending on your specific workflow, you might then use Flow, Process Builder, or APEX to copy the imported Jobfeed data into your organization's Lead, and/or Vacancy object to integrate the data into your work processes.

If you are concerned about managing your data volume, you might also setup a periodic Jobfeed Job deletion process that automatically deletes old Jobfeed Jobs

Configure Jobfeed credentials

All three import features require you to configure Jobfeed credentials. These will be provided by Textkernel support.

Go to Textkernel App → Jobfeed Setup → Jobfeed Data Access

Many organizations will only work with a single country feed, but multinational companies might have several Jobfeed subscriptions, so the form allows for multiple credentials.

For each of your Jobfeed credentials, enter the User Name and Password, and click Save Credentials

Keep a list of the relevant Jobfeed API domain URLs to set your Salesforce remote site settings in the next step

Configure remote site settings

For each of the Jobfeed API domains you use, you need to add the domains to the list of accessible remote sites from within your Salesforce organization.

Set this up using the standard configuration feature located under Salesforce Setup → Security → Remote Site Settings

Configure single-record import from Jobfeed UI search results

Once Textkernel Portal is configured, no further Salesforce configuration is necessary to enable this import workflow. If you have ordered this feature the import button will be available in your Jobfeed search environment.

You only need to configure the workflow to consume the Textkernel Jobfeed Jobs after they have been saved to Salesforce.

Configure Jobfeed batch import from Search and Match

Once Textkernel Portal is configured, no additional Salesforce configuration is necessary to enable this import workflow. If you have ordered this feature the import button will be available in your Search and Match environment.

You only need to configure the workflow to consume the Textkernel Jobfeed Jobs after they have been saved to Salesforce.

Configure Jobfeed batch import from the Salesforce Account view

(These instructions are for a Lightning Record Page, where the Import Component will be used as a custom tab layout).

To add this widget as a custom tab to your Account:

1. Go to an Account record
2. Select Setup -> Edit Page to access the page configuration.
3. Add a Tab with a custom name. You might call it "Textkernel Jobfeed", or you could pick a different name.
4. Under the new tab, add the Custom - Managed component called Textkernel Import Jobfeed Leads
5. Select the component, and configure it using the options on the right-hand side:
6. "Template" - Select either the Tab or Table layout, depending on which look you prefer.
7. "Number of Results" - Select how many Jobfeed Jobs you want to show in the table. You can select up to 100 results, depending on your preference. The list is filtered to include postings from the last 2 weeks.
8. Click Save in the upper right to save your changes.

When you return to your Account page, you now see the Textkernel Jobfeed import widget.

The final configuration step is to add your specific workflow automation to take an action based on the imported Jobfeed Job data.
