Action
Create Candidate Tag
Create a new candidate tag in Ashby for categorizing and organizing candidates. Tags are labels that help you filter, search, and group candidates for better organization and workflow management. Use this action to create custom tags based on skills, experience levels, departments, or any other criteria relevant to your hiring process. Returns the newly created tag with its unique ID, title, and archived status. Tags are created in an active (non-archived) state by default.
Why this helps
Teams may agree on a useful candidate category in chat but never establish a shared label for it.
- Make agreed candidate categories available as Ashby tags.
- Reduce inconsistent labels created by different teammates.
- Turn a recruiting convention into a reusable tool.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Ashby to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction explaining what qualifies as a new reusable tag and how to avoid duplicate or one-off labels.
- 4Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real proposal for a lasting candidate category and check the new Ashby tag.
Questions about this workflow
Should every suggested label become a tag?
The instruction should create tags only for explicit, reusable categories, not temporary notes or unconfirmed ideas.
How can duplicates be avoided?
Ask Notis to check whether an equivalent tag is already in use before creating a new one.
