Syncing with your ATS

Once your fields are created, they become available programmatically. You can use the Patch API to update these specific fields behind the scenes. Updating these fields allows you to:
  • Filter your candidates dynamically from the Get Candidates API.
  • Keep external ATS IDs (like greenhouse_candidate_id) synced with the interview record.
  • Flag candidates automatically based on external workflows.
Check out our API integration guide to learn how to update custom fields programmatically.
