Why integration has stopped working suddenly and candidates have stopped getting created in Flare?
A token serves as a key enabling integration to securely request information from the JobAdder API and retrieve data linked to a specific account.
However, a refresh token can become invalid due to:
- Removal or deactivation of the user who authorized the integration in the JobAdder account.
- The token remaining unused for over two weeks, although the integration uses it daily, which ideally shouldn't occur.
To restore the link between Flare and JobAdder, please reach out to Flare support for assistance in refreshing the token.
Information required to submit ticket request with Flare support
- Candidate ID in JobAdder
- Candidate Name and Email address in JobAdder
- Employee ID in Flare (only if the candidate was created with incorrect information in Flare). Otherwise, not necessary.
- If an employee wasn't generated in Flare, provide the estimated date and time when the placement was initiated or the partner button was pressed on JobAdder. This is essential to diagnose the problem on Flare's side.

How do I ensure the correct brand is assigned to an employee?
If you have multiple legal entities and brands and need to dynamically assign the brand to an employee based on their legal entity, please remove the brand assignment for the default entity (in Enterprise > Entities) and ensure all other entities have a brand connected to them.
When an employee is assigned the default legal entity, they should receive the corresponding default brand. Otherwise, when an employee is assigned a non-default legal entity, the brand should dynamically assign.
