Ismail is back with a new example: HR Review

Bonita Community member Ismail has created and shared ReviewBuddy, an app that automates review processes.
It begins when an HR representative notifies employees to draft reviews, continues through to the final validation of reviews by HR, and creates a PDF summary of each review.

This new project includes lots of useful BPM concepts:

• BPM messages
• Multi-instanciation
• Actor filters
• Non-interrupting timers
• Parallel & exclusive gateways
• Connectors
  • E-mail
  • Insert data in a .docx/.odt template connector
  • Generate a PDF from an Office document

​​​​​​Thank you Ismail!

Simplifying life with GitHub tokens

​​​​​​GitHub provides a token that you can use to authenticate on behalf of GitHub Actions.

If you are using GitHub Actions to build your Bonita projects and want to secure access, you can configure a GITHUB TOKEN and use it to login with the Bonita Git feature.

This is part of GitHub's strategy to move to tokens for authentication. Be ready for this, because begining August 13, 2021, they will no longer accept account passwords when authenticating Git operations on GitHub.com.
