Automatically Assign Candidates to Sourcing Campaigns

When your team mentions a candidate in a sourcing context ('This person would be perfect for our contractor initiative'), Notis automatically assigns them to that campaign/project in Ashby, organizing your sourcing efforts.

Trigger

Public Team Comment Created

Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_CREATED`.

Action

Add Candidate to Project

Add a candidate to a project in Ashby. Projects are sourcing initiatives or recruiting campaigns used to organize and track candidate pipelines. Use this to associate candidates with specific sourcing efforts. Common use cases: - Adding sourced candidates to recruiting campaigns - Organizing candidates by sourcing channel or initiative - Tracking candidates in specific hiring projects Requires candidatesWrite permission. Returns the updated candidate object on success, or error details if the candidate or project is not found.

Why this helps

Candidates are discussed in relation to specific campaigns or sourcing initiatives, but manually adding them to projects in Ashby creates friction and candidates often don't get associated.

  • Candidates auto-assigned to sourcing campaigns
  • No manual project/campaign assignment
  • Campaigns stay organized as discussions happen

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Ashby to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named 'Candidate Mention to Project'.
  • 3Write your prompt: 'When someone comments on a public team issue mentioning a candidate and a sourcing campaign or project name (e.g., "Sarah would be great for our contractor sourcing project"), automatically add that candidate to the named project in Ashby.'
  • 4Select 'Public Team Comment Created' as your trigger and set your notification channel.
  • 5Test by commenting 'Alice would fit our contractor pool' and verify Alice is added to that project in Ashby.

Questions about this workflow

What if the project name is ambiguous?

Notis will ask for clarification or match partial names. You can also use tags in the issue (e.g., '#contractor-sourcing') to be explicit.

Can it create projects that don't exist yet?

Not yet, but Notis can flag when a mentioned project doesn't exist and suggest creating it. Your team can handle that one-off.
