Keep sourcing shortlist labels in sync with Ashby
When a candidate is selected in your Airtable shortlist, send the selection to Notis and apply the matching existing Ashby tag.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Candidate Tag
Add a tag to a candidate in Ashby. Use this to categorize and organize candidates with existing tags from the system. This action allows you to apply labels/tags to candidates for filtering, searching, and organizational purposes. Tags must already exist in the system - use LIST_CANDIDATE_TAGS to view available tags or CREATE_CANDIDATE_TAG to create new ones. The response includes the full updated candidate object when successful, showing the newly added tag in the candidate's tags array. If a candidate already has the tag, the operation will still succeed idempotently.
Why this helps
