H-Net Job Guide

H-Net: Humanities & Social Sciences Online is an international interdisciplinary organization of scholars and teachers dedicated to advancing humanities and social science research and communication. Its primary platform, the H-Net Commons, supports academic discussions, publishing, and professional networking. A key source of funding for H-Net comes from the Job Guide, a paid job posting service that publishes job opportunities directly on the Commons.

• Advanced moderation workflows for job posts, updates, and reminders.
• Custom payment integration with Authorize.net Accept Hosted Payments.
• Flexible multi-payment processing, allowing a single job to be paid through multiple methods (e.g., partial check payment plus credit card).
• Invoice and payment management via a custom “expected payment” entity:
  • Job submitters generate invoices that include payment instructions for checks, wires, or credit cards.
  • Credit card invoices include a direct payment link, making it easy for accounting staff to complete transactions without logging in to the Job Guide.
  • Payments are reconciled automatically back to the original invoice, leveraging Drupal Commerce’s checkout and order system while supporting H-Net’s unique workflow.
• Seamless integration with H-Net Commons, so job seekers can search, view, and subscribe to jobs by keyword, category, or location directly on the Commons, without visiting the Job Guide site.
• Mattermost integration to notify staff of key events such as new job postings requiring moderation or payment successes and failures.
• Webhook support for external automation platforms like Zapier, Make, or n8n, enabling further process automation.
• Data migration from H-Net’s legacy MySQL database to Drupal nodes, ensuring continuity and historical job data preservation.
