Simple Custom Function to Update Candidate status

Simple Custom Function to Update Candidate status

Hi folks,

We are currently using Zoho Recruit and have sources from where candidates are applying. Currently all candidates are being set to 'Associated' when they apply via 3rd party sources but that is not useful for us under our business process.

I have tried tinkering with the Workflow rules to be able to setup a custom function so that every time a candidate applies via a 3rd party source, their status is updated to 'New'.

Writing the function is where I am getting confused - I have some deluge experience but I am just not sure what the exact syntax should look like. I have written the following syntax until now:

zohorecruit.updaterecord(Candidates, id, keyValueMap)

I am not sure what to use for id as the candidate ID should fetch automatically from the workflow rule when a new candidate applies.

Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
