Create a Salesforce contact from candidate resume data
Route resumes Affinda has parsed to a Notis webhook and let Notis create a Salesforce contact from the extracted candidate details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create contact
Creates a new contact in salesforce with the specified information.
Why this helps
Candidate information gets scattered across resumes and CRM records when teams handle document review and contact entry separately.
- Avoid retyping candidate contact information
- Keep candidate records together in Salesforce
- Make parsed resume data easier to act on
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Salesforce once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe in one instruction when to create a Salesforce contact from candidate details in the incoming Affinda result.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real parsed resume that includes a candidate last name.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use contact creation instead of lead creation?
Use contact creation when your process treats the candidate as a contact record. Use lead creation when candidates should enter a Salesforce lead qualification flow.
What information is required?
Salesforce requires a last name for contacts. Confirm the Affinda result includes it or tell Notis how to handle a missing value.
