At the moment, the Jira integration supports 3 different type of events: employee created, employee joined, and task list triggered.
While rehires are picked up by the employee joined event, this event also runs for brand-new hires - so it can’t distinguish between the two.
If your goal is to set a trigger that applies only to rehires, this isn’t currently supported. Instead, you can create a dedicated flow to isolate rehire activity:
- Create a new onboarding flow that’s used only for rehires
- Attach a task list to that flow, and include a notification or email task
- In your Jira webhook, use the task list triggered event
This way, the event will fire only when that specific rehire flow is triggered, helping you avoid capturing New Hires.
