View and update the CoE status of an application, and inform the applicant about their CoE

Staff and applicants

Staff can now view and update the CoE status of an application in the applicant overview, and inform applicants of their CoE status.

A new CoE status tile on the Identity & Immigration tab allows staff to view the current or historic CoE status of an application. Staff can update the status to Ready for CoE, which means that the application is ready for the CoE to be issued. Applicants can view their CoE status on the applicant portal.

Once a CoE has been issued, staff can update the CoE status to Issued using the Upload CoE option. Staff can then upload the CoE document.

On uploading the CoE document, applicants receive an email notifying them that their CoE document is available to view and download. Applicants can view their CoE status and download the CoE document in the applicant portal.

To upload CoE documents, the document type CoE with the file type PDF must be added to the reference data Documents.

Emails notifying applicants that their CoE document is available are sent to applicants using the new CoE notification email and CoE notification email subject communication templates.

Permissions

Staff require the following permissions in the Applications authorisation area to view and update the CoE status of applicants:

  • Australia Visa Requests – View to view the CoE status of an application

  • Australia Visa Requests – Edit to update the CoE status

Integrations

Integrations can retrieve the current or any historic CoE statuses of an application using the Visa sponsorship summary GET integration APIs.

Reset an application's CoE status

Staff can reset the CoE status of an application. For example, if a CoE has been issued for an application or if an application has been erroneously progressed.

A Reset CoE option is available in the CoE status tile on the Identity and Immigration tab of the applicant overview for applications with a CoE status of Issued. This sets the status back to Not started and removes the status from the applicant portal.

Attention.

The CoE document is still available for staff to view on the application and applicants to view on the applicant portal unless a staff member deletes the document.

Staff require the permission Australia Visa Requests – Edit to reset the status.

New CoE workflow actions and conditions

The following workflow event and condition are now available for CoE:

HasCoEStatus

This condition allows users to create a workflow based on the CoE status of an application, such as Issued. If an application has multiple CoEs, the condition checks the current CoE and not any historic CoEs.

CoE issued

This custom event allows users to trigger a workflow based on the CoE status of an application being Issued. For example, creating a workflow to set the Completion state to Sent to enrolment when the CoE has been issued. If an application has multiple CoEs, the event triggers for the current CoE only.
