The Object Graph is a dynamic variable system that lets you reference any data point in Firstwork using dot-notation paths. It powers navigation rules, automation templates, email/SMS content, webhook payloads, and visibility rules.

How It Works

Use double curly braces to insert a variable reference anywhere that supports dynamic content:
{{application.candidate.first_name}}
At runtime, the platform resolves the path by walking through the data model and replacing the variable with the actual value.

Common Paths

Candidate & Application

PathDescription
{{application.candidate.first_name}}Candidate’s first name
{{application.candidate.last_name}}Candidate’s last name
{{application.candidate.email}}Candidate’s email
{{application.candidate.phone}}Candidate’s phone number
{{application.hiring_flow.name}}Name of the hiring flow
{{application.status}}Current application status

Form Submissions

PathDescription
{{form_submission.elements.<slug>.value}}Value of a specific form field by its slug

Company & Contract

PathDescription
{{company.name}}Company name
{{contract.legal_entity.name}}Legal entity name
{{contract.start_date}}Contract start date

Capabilities

  • Deep nesting — Traverse relationships to any depth (e.g., application.hiring_flow.company.name)
  • Array traversal — Access items within lists
  • Computed properties — Reference calculated values like custom variables
  • Default values — Provide fallback values when a path resolves to empty
