HR Lifecycle Event: Upload user photo from File Upload activity type

[valter479]

I have activity on the lifecycle event for new hire to upload photo for user profile. How can I update user profile photo after activity completed.

I tried having a flow that gets trigger after the HR task (photo activity) is completed which does the following:

1. Copy attachment from HR task to sys_user record
2. Update "Name" field on the new copy attachment record to "photo"
3. Update "Table name" field on the new copy attachment record to "ZZ_YYsys_user"

This display the photo on the sys_user record but not on the portal

I also trying using the same flow to update the "live_profile" record.

What am I missing to display on the portal.

@valter479 If the steps you mentioned are not working then you can try the following steps too.

1. Try creating an entry in the live_profile table

2. Copy attachment from the HR Task to live profile

3. Photo field on the live profile record should store the sys_id of the photo stored in the attachment table

Here is how your live profile record should look.

The photo field on your live_profile should have the sys_id of photo stored in sys_attachment table

This how your record should appear in the attachment table.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Sandeep Rajput,

I tried on my PDI, it didn't work

Live Profile record:

<xml>
<live_profile>
<document>ca6a9fd247177110df624db3416d43d4</document>
<follower_count/>
<following_count/>
<image/>
<joined_feed>false</joined_feed>
<name>test test</name>
<photo>58a2af1a47577110df624db3416d4399</photo>
<short_description/>
<status/>
<sys_created_by>admin</sys_created_by>
<sys_created_on>2023-12-26 13:23:50</sys_created_on>
<sys_domain>global</sys_domain>
<sys_domain_path>/</sys_domain_path>
<sys_id>449ad75647177110df624db3416d438f</sys_id>
<sys_mod_count>5</sys_mod_count>
<sys_updated_by>system</sys_updated_by>
<sys_updated_on>2023-12-26 13:57:05</sys_updated_on>
<table>sys_user</table>
<type>user</type>
</live_profile>
</xml>

Attachment record:

I also tried changing the file name to "photo" on the attachment record to match the property/field on the live profile table. That also didn't work.

Hi @Sandeep Rajput,

Ignore my last comment. It works by updating the live profile record. When I tested the first time by impersonate the user, it didn't show the photo. Today  I impersonate the same user and it is showing. I think something was cache when I impersonated the user first time.

Thanks.

Glad to know that it worked for you Valter.
