1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To get started with receiving Slack notifications for new job applications, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Open your web browser and type in Pabbly.com/connect. This will redirect you to the Pabbly Connect homepage where you can either sign in or sign up for a new account.

Signing up for Pabbly Connect is free and offers 100 free tasks every month. If you already have an account, simply log in. Once logged in, you will see your dashboard where you can create new workflows for integration.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow something like ‘Recruitee to Slack’. This name helps you identify the purpose of the workflow easily.

Once named, you will notice two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while Action is what happens as a result. For this integration, select ‘Candidate Created’ from Recruitee as the trigger event.

• Name your workflow as ‘Recruitee to Slack’.
• Select ‘Candidate Created’ as the trigger event.
• This will notify Slack whenever a new candidate is added.

After selecting the trigger, Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL. This URL is essential for linking your Recruitee account with Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Webhook in Recruitee

Now, navigate to your Recruitee account. Go to Settings, then Apps and Plugins, and find the Webhooks section. Here, create a new webhook and give it a name like ‘Recruitee to Slack’.

In the Post URL field, paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect. Ensure you select ‘Candidate Created’ as the event type. Once everything is set, click on ‘Verify and Save’ to establish the connection.

• Go to Recruitee settings and find the Webhooks section.
• Create a new webhook and paste the Pabbly Connect URL.
• Select ‘Candidate Created’ as the event type and save.

With the webhook set up, you’re ready to test the integration by adding a new candidate in Recruitee.

4. Testing the Webhook Response in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook in Recruitee, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Capture Webhook Response’. This action will allow you to test if the webhook is functioning correctly.

Now, add a new candidate in Recruitee. Fill in the necessary details such as the candidate’s name, email, and job position. Once you save the candidate, the information will be sent to Pabbly Connect through the webhook.

Click on ‘Capture Webhook Response’ in Pabbly Connect. Add a new candidate in Recruitee with all required information. Save the candidate to trigger the webhook.

Once the candidate is added, you should see the webhook response in Pabbly Connect, confirming that the integration is working.

5. Sending Notifications to Slack

With the webhook successfully capturing the candidate data, the final step is to send this information to your Slack channel. In Pabbly Connect, select Slack as your action application and choose to send a channel message.

You will need to connect your Slack account by authorizing Pabbly Connect. Once connected, select the channel where you want to send notifications. In the message field, you can customize the message using mapped data from the webhook response.

Choose Slack as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select the channel for notifications. Map candidate details in the message for personalization.

Once everything is set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If everything is configured correctly, you will see the message appear in your selected Slack channel, confirming that the integration is complete.
