Trigger

New or Updated Opportunity

Triggers when a Salesforce Opportunity is created or updated.

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

Hiring and referral signals recorded during customer conversations can disappear inside CRM opportunity history.

  • Bring relevant hiring context into an active sourcing effort.
  • Cut down on manual follow-up after opportunity updates.
  • Keep the automation limited to identified candidates and existing projects.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce and Ashby once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for hiring signal handoffs.
  • 3Tell Notis to add a clearly identified candidate to an existing Ashby project only when an opportunity update contains an explicit hiring or talent signal.
  • 4Pick New or Updated Opportunity and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real opportunity update and verify the candidate and project.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow create a project or candidate?

No. It adds a candidate to a project. Instruct Notis to act only when it can identify an existing candidate and project.

Can Notis infer a hiring signal from any opportunity note?

It can interpret returned record data, but your instruction should define the specific language or context that counts as a signal. Review the first run.
