Automation tools

Use this page to learn how to connect JOIN with external tools using automation platforms like Zapier and Make. You'll find an overview of each platform, what you can automate, and how to connect.

You can set up multiple hiring workflows with JOIN to reduce manual work and move faster. To do this, JOIN offers official integrations with two leading no-code automation platforms:

Zapier

Make

Automation tools help you streamline repetitive tasks — like notifying your team about new applications on Slack, syncing job details to spreadsheets, or updating statuses in your ATS — without writing a single line of code. With these integrations, you can design powerful workflows that work exactly the way your hiring process does.

Access to the JOIN API is only available on the Advanced and Enterprise plans. If you're on the Standard plan, you can upgrade your plan.

What is a Zap in Zapier?

A Zap is a workflow that connects your apps to automate repetitive tasks. It consists of a trigger, which starts the Zap, and one or more actions, which are the events that the Zap performs after it’s triggered. Use Zaps to automate your repetitive tasks without code, saving you time and money. You can use any of the 8,000+ apps on Zapier to build a workflow that combines a trigger and one or more actions. Learn more about how to start building Zaps.

What are Zap triggers?

A trigger is an event within an app that starts a Zap. Once you’ve turned your Zap on, Zapier will wait for that trigger event. There are two types of triggers in Zapier: polling or instant. Example: A trigger event is any new data created in your app that starts your Zap.
