Automating Hiring Workflows with Ashby Webhooks

Buzz

In this blog, we’ll explore how to integrate Ashby with Jira Service Management. We’ll walk through key considerations and how to integrate using OnLink.

Why Integrate Ashby with Jira Service Management?

Ashby is widely used for managing hiring pipelines, but when it operates in isolation, it often creates inefficiencies for HR, IT, and Finance teams that rely on accurate, up-to-date data across systems. By integrating Ashby with Jira Service Management, you can automate critical hiring workflows such as:

Generating new hire tickets
Updating candidate records
Syncing job codes, department codes, and other metadata

This automation helps your organization:

Eliminate redundant data entry
Ensure consistent, accurate information across platforms
Speed up approvals and internal workflows
Improve collaboration between HR, IT, and Finance teams

Connecting to Ashby: API + Webhooks

Ashby provides a comprehensive API that gives developers access to candidate, job, and offer data. But the real power lies in Webhooks, which enable Ashby to automatically send updates when key hiring events occur e.g Candidate accepting the offer or a candidate reaching a certain interview stage. Refer to Ashby’s API Documentation for more technical detail.

How OnLink Makes It Easy

OnLink natively supports Ashby Webhooks, allowing you to automate tasks in Jira Service Management without writing complex scripts.

Here’s how it works:

Webhook Configuration in Ashby
Configure OnLink to capture events from Ashby.

To get started, follow OnLink Webhook Documentation for setup instructions.

OnLink Webhook Configurations

When configuring Ashby Webhooks to work with OnLink, you’ll need to set a few key parameters:

config:auth_scheme=<request_signing_ashby>
config:signature_token=<secret token>

In Ashby, go to Admin > Ashby API > Webhooks, then:

Click “New” to create a webhook.
Paste the Payload URL from your OnLink configuration.
Choose the appropriate event type.
Add your secret token (same as config:signature_token).

Once set up, Ashby will begin pushing structured data (like candidate IDs, interview stages, and offer details) directly to OnLink, enabling to capture events from Ashby.

Here are some fields available in Ashby payload that can be used for mapping in OnLink. A sample payload is available here Candidate-Hire :
