How to integrate SmartRecruiters in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your SmartRecruiters connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect SmartRecruiters
When prompted, authorize access to SmartRecruiters in WEXTL once. SmartRecruiters credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your SmartRecruiters account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with SmartRecruiters yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect SmartRecruiters to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How SmartRecruiters connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever SmartRecruiters app is called in workflows. That allows your hr automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that SmartRecruiters supports.
The following table illustrates what fields SmartRecruiters integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Connect SmartRecruiters to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with SmartRecruiters below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with SmartRecruiters. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with SmartRecruiters integration
Select Watch Events trigger from SmartRecruiters - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in SmartRecruiters, workflow will start [7] from Watch Events node.
Search for Add Approval Request Comment, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Events and Add Approval Request Comment, so only important data pass from Watch Events to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of SmartRecruiters automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
SmartRecruiters on WEXTL has 36 modules for combining hr automations. Explore SmartRecruiters documentation for more.
Video slide demonstrates how Watch Events and Add Approval Request Comment [6] nodes are used in SmartRecruiters workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating SmartRecruiters in your workflows.
SmartRecruiters has 1 trigger, including "Watch Events". Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.
Integration has 35 actions, including "Get a Candidate", "Get a Candidate Status", and "Get a Job", and more. Refer to our SmartRecruiters Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The SmartRecruiters integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by SmartRecruiters official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where SmartRecruiters provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever SmartRecruiters or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for SmartRecruiters inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with SmartRecruiters modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
