2. • What are Fusion HCM Atom Feeds?
• Configuring HCM Atom Feeds in Microsoft Outlook

4. • Atom feeds enable you to keep track of any changes made to feed-
enabled resources in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud.
• For any updates that may be of interest for downstream applications,
such as new hires, terminations, employee transfers and promotions,
Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud publishes Atom feeds. Your
applications will be able to read these feeds and take appropriate
action.
• HCM Atom feeds provide notifications of Oracle Fusion Human
Capital Management (HCM) events and are tightly integrated with
REST services. When an event occurs in Oracle Fusion HCM, the
corresponding Atom feed is delivered automatically to the Atom
server. The feed contains details of the REST resource on which the
event occurred. Subscribers who consume these Atom feeds use the
REST resources to retrieve additional information about the
resource.

6. • When an employee is hired, updated, or terminated
• When an assignment is created, updated, or end dated
• When any of the following work structures is created,
updated, or end dated:
• Grades

Note: If approvals are configured, Atom feeds are triggered only after the
transactions are approved. Feed entries are created for all future-dated changes.
