As organizations seek to optimize their HR processes, there is an increasing need for customized workflows that can handle complex logic and provide a higher level of UI customization.

That’s where SAP Build comes in, SAP Build can be used to create custom workflows and applications that are tailored to your organization’s unique requirements.

In this blog post, I’ll walk you through an example of a custom application built with SAP Build Apps that pulls employee data from SAP SuccessFactors, and on submit it triggers a workflow on SAP Build Process Automation. The goal is to help you gain a better understanding of the integration and extension capabilities of SAP BTP and SAP SuccessFactors, and provide you with actionable insights for your own projects.

While this use case is just an example, it demonstrates the integration and extensibility capabilities of SAP SuccessFactors & SAP Build.
