What can you do with Fountain on Tray.ai?
Fountain is a high-volume hiring platform for hourly workers, moving applicants through openings and stages with screening, interview scheduling and document collection. Tray.ai connects to Fountain through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Fountain API alongside the rest of your stack. API access comes through Fountain's partner program or API plan, so you need approved credentials first.
- When Fountain sends “Applicant changed stage”, notify the hiring manager in your team chat.
- When Fountain sends “Documents approved”, create the new starter in your HR system.
- When Fountain sends “Background check status updated”, log the result on the candidate record.
- When a store requests more staff in your ticketing system, create an opening for the role.
