Ashby automation is a practical way to let the tool handle routine recruiting tasks, such as updating records or sending timely messages, without constant hands-on work from the team.
By shifting repeatable steps into automated workflows, teams reduce manual effort, improve consistency in how processes run, and support scaling as hiring volumes grow.
These workflows can also connect Ashby with other tools so information moves automatically between systems while staying aligned with existing processes.
Tasks like updating candidate records or sending notifications can run on a set schedule or in response to specific events, so team members do not have to manage every step by hand.
This lowers the risk of manual errors, since the same rules are applied each time a task runs.
It also improves consistency - candidates experience a more predictable process, and internal stakeholders receive information in a reliable format.
As usage grows and the number of candidates, roles, and stakeholders increases, automated workflows keep running without requiring additional effort from the team.
Ashby automation helps make sure actions are carried out in the same way over time, so recruiting workflows remain stable even at higher volumes.
When relevant events occur in Ashby, Activepieces listens to those events as triggers and starts the corresponding workflow automatically.
Each workflow can include a series of steps that read data coming from Ashby, apply conditional logic, and map fields before passing that data to later actions.
Those actions can create, update, or share information in other applications so that Ashby activity is reflected across the wider tool stack without repeated manual input.
Users configure these automations with a no-code or low-code builder, selecting triggers, steps, and actions visually instead of writing custom integrations.
This model helps make sure Ashby-related workflows stay flexible, maintainable, and easy to adapt as hiring processes or connected systems change over time.
Teams use it to sync candidate records, update fields, or add notes whenever changes happen in the tool, so recruiting data stays current without constant manual edits.
Automation also reacts to key events inside the platform.
When a candidate applies, advances to a new stage, or is marked as hired or rejected, workflows update statuses, adjust pipelines, or create follow-up tasks for coordinators and recruiters.
Repetitive operational steps benefit as well.
Automations update interview schedules, apply labels for roles or locations, and send internal notifications so teammates know when they need to review profiles or provide feedback.
Teams use these workflows to keep approvals moving.
For example, when an offer is drafted, automation can add internal comments, assign owners, or change review statuses so stakeholders stay in sync.
Ashby automation also helps connect the tool with broader systems.
Updates to records can trigger simple syncs or notifications elsewhere, helping teams make sure information stays aligned across recruiting, HR, and operations.
