Greenhouse Overview#

The Greenhouse API offers a powerful suite of tools for automating and enhancing the recruitment process. It allows you to programmatically access candidate information, job listings, scorecards, and scheduling details, which opens a myriad of possibilities for streamlining recruiting workflows. By leveraging the Greenhouse API on Pipedream, you can automate repetitive tasks, integrate with other HR systems, analyze recruitment data, and build custom event-driven workflows to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your hiring process.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Greenhouse	`greenhouse`	`app`	This component uses the Greenhouse app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Candidate ID	`candidateId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Greenhouse uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Greenhouse account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Greenhouse APIs in both code and no-code steps.

In order to create a Harvest API key, a user must be granted the “Can manage ALL organization’s API Credentials” in the “Developer permission” section. That user can then go Configure >> Dev Center >> API Credential Management as described in Harvest API Introduction

GitHub Overview#

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.
