Hello,
What the steps are to create a candidate and apply to a job using the v3 API? I have been looking around, but couldn't figure it out.

Thanks!

https://docs.catsone.com/api/v3/#portals-list-jobs is where you get the jobs on that portal.
https://docs.catsone.com/api/v3/#jobs-list-applications is where you get the applications on a job.
https://docs.catsone.com/api/v3/#jobs-list-application-fields is where you get the fields on the application.
https://docs.catsone.com/api/v3/#portals-submit is the main endpoint for applying to a job.

That last one is the one that actually applies to the job. All the previously mentioned calls are how you get the field data to create the application call.

Hi guys,

I need your help with the following:

We have used the v3 API to connect a job from catsone to multiple job postings on our website. Now our developers have also made sure that all the applications on these job postings are forwarded to the connected job pipeline. Just to be clear we do not publish our jobs from within Catsone. They are merely connected  to postings on our website. 

Now that the applications are succesfully being added to the job pipeline we would automatically like to assign them a status? 

Could you please advise on this matter? as our developers said that it is not possible.

regards,

Shazeeb Karwa

When a pipeline is created between a candidate and a job, they are automatically assigned the top/first status in the worflow. This works exactly as it does when you add a Candidate to a Job Order in the UI. If you want to change the default behavior, you just need to change which status is at the top of the list within the workflow.

To change the status after a pipeline is created, just use this endpoint: https://docs.catsone.com/api/v3/#pipelines-change-status
