What this category's data looks like
Foreign teacher appointment and course scheduling involves three types of materials: appointment contracts, work permit materials, and course schedules. Appointment contracts contain the position, appointment period, and signature fields; work permit materials contain the document number, validity period, and issuance receipt; course schedules contain the course name, week number, classroom, and instructor. The materials mostly come from HR, foreign affairs, and academic affairs, and updates follow changes in appointment periods, permit extensions, and semester scheduling. When entering authorized access and external services, the three types of materials respectively serve as the basis for identity, the basis for qualification, and the basis for visible scope: the contract determines the visitor's identity, the permit materials determine the level that can be opened, and the course schedule determines the visible entries. Field characteristics are concentrated in names, quantities, dates, and signatures; the same record must be consistent across the two materials, and the version and receipt must be synchronized.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the HTTP node in the workflow, outputting the response body, status code, and returned fields. "The externally available entry point and authorization scope" are parsed from the response by subsequent nodes, or handled by the external system according to the agreement to complete the next step. The request header passes Authorization according to the external system's requirements; the placeholder variables in the request body and path parameters come from variables, and the returned result is received as responseData.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Appointment contract | The name, date, and signature fields must be consistent with the work permit materials | Compare the contract's appointment start and end dates, instructor name, and signature receipt, and confirm there are no missing signatures |
| Work permit materials | The document number, validity period, and issuance receipt must correspond to the contract's appointment period | Check the number, validity period, and receipt date, and confirm the version is the currently valid version |
| Course schedule | The course name, week number, classroom, and instructor must be consistent with the contract position | Compare course entries with the contract position one by one, and confirm the quantities and dates match |
| Request address and path parameters | Placeholder variables can be resolved into actual values | View the rendered full address in the request preview, and check the source of variables |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The same instructor's name or quantity does not match between the contract and the course schedule. Cause: The two materials are maintained by different nodes, and no field-level comparison or receipt confirmation was performed.
- Symptom: The version of the work permit materials is not synchronized, and the old number is still referenced. Cause: After the materials were updated, the variable source was not refreshed, and the placeholder variable still takes the old value.
- Symptom: The request returns 401 or the external system receives empty fields. Cause: The source of the
Authorizationvalue is incorrect, or the request body fields are inconsistent with the external interface agreement.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance of this feature: preview the rendered request, check the status code and returned fields, then compare the result against one sample to confirm that the visible entries in responseData are consistent with the configured scope.
Business test: access once with a restricted identity, see whether the visible scope matches the configuration, and confirm that unauthorized entries are not visible.
- In the variables panel, check the source of each placeholder and confirm that
variablescan be traced to a specific origin. - Check the request header name and value source, and confirm that
Authorizationis passed according to the external system's requirements.
