# Connect Workable to LinkedIn > Automate candidate sourcing, job posting, and recruitment workflows between Workable and LinkedIn so your hiring team can focus on finding the best talent. **Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/workable-linkedin-integrations/ **Workable connector:** https://tray.ai/connectors/workable-integrations/ **Workable documentation:** https://tray.ai/documentation/connectors/service/workable **LinkedIn connector:** https://tray.ai/connectors/linkedin-integrations/ **LinkedIn documentation:** https://tray.ai/documentation/connectors/service/linkedin ## Overview Workable and LinkedIn do different things well. Workable is where your job openings, candidates, and hiring pipelines live. LinkedIn is where the people you want to hire spend their time. The problem is that keeping both in sync usually means a lot of manual copy-pasting, missed postings, and candidate data that's accurate in one place but stale in the other. Connecting them through tray.ai removes that friction — candidate records get created automatically, jobs go live the moment they're approved, and your team spends less time on data entry. Recruiting teams that rely on both Workable and LinkedIn quickly run into the same problem: switching between two platforms creates friction, delays, and data that drifts out of sync. A promising candidate applies via LinkedIn, and someone has to manually re-enter their details into Workable. A new role gets approved, but it doesn't go live on LinkedIn until a recruiter remembers to post it. These aren't catastrophic failures — they're just constant small inefficiencies that add up. Connecting Workable and LinkedIn through tray.ai means candidate records are created automatically, hiring managers get updates without anyone chasing them down, and sourcing activity is logged without manual effort. Your team can take on more hiring volume without adding headcount to manage the busywork. ## Use cases ### Automatically Push New Job Openings from Workable to LinkedIn When a recruiter publishes a new job in Workable, the integration posts it to LinkedIn Jobs automatically — title, description, location, department, all of it mapped and synced in real time. No extra steps, no risk of a role sitting unpublished because someone forgot to cross-post it. - Cut time-to-post for new openings from hours to seconds - Make every approved role visible to LinkedIn's 900M+ professional network immediately - Remove duplicate data entry for recruiters managing high job volumes ### Import LinkedIn Sourced Candidates Directly into Workable When a recruiter saves or tags a candidate on LinkedIn, the integration creates their profile in Workable automatically with the relevant details already filled in. No copy-pasting, no switching tabs to re-enter the same information. The candidate lands in the right job pipeline with sourcing attribution intact. - Capture sourced candidates in Workable without leaving LinkedIn - Preserve sourcing attribution for ROI tracking and reporting - Move faster from candidate discovery to outreach ### Sync Candidate Application Status Updates Back to LinkedIn As candidates move through hiring stages in Workable — screening, interview, offer — those status changes get pushed back to LinkedIn Recruiter and your job postings, so everyone's working from the same picture. Hiring managers and sourcers see current pipeline status without asking for updates, and it closes the loop on InMail conversations tied to specific candidates. - Give LinkedIn Recruiter users real-time pipeline visibility - Avoid duplicate outreach to candidates already in late hiring stages - Improve coordination between sourcers and hiring managers ### Trigger LinkedIn InMail Campaigns for Passive Candidates in Workable When candidates in Workable are tagged as passive or re-engageable, the integration can kick off targeted LinkedIn InMail campaigns to bring them back into the conversation. Your existing candidate database becomes an active sourcing channel without requiring recruiters to work through it manually. Messages are pre-built and sent automatically based on candidate attributes stored in Workable. - Re-engage warm candidates already familiar with your company - Automate personalized outreach at scale without recruiter intervention - Reach candidates on the platform they're actually using ### Automatically Close LinkedIn Job Posts When Roles Are Filled in Workable When a job is closed in Workable after a hire is made, the integration removes or expires the LinkedIn posting automatically. Candidates stop applying to a role that's already filled, your employer brand stays clean, and recruiters don't have to remember to close listings on two platforms. - Stop candidates from applying to roles that are already filled - Keep job listings accurate without manual cleanup - Free recruiters from manually closing listings across platforms ### Log LinkedIn Recruiter Activity Notes into Workable Candidate Timelines When a LinkedIn Recruiter sends an InMail, views a profile, or adds a note about a candidate, that activity gets logged automatically into the candidate's timeline in Workable. Hiring managers reviewing a candidate get the full picture of every touchpoint without needing a LinkedIn Recruiter license of their own. - Keep all candidate communication history in one place - Give hiring managers full context during handoffs - Reduce how many team members need LinkedIn Recruiter access ### Notify Hiring Teams in Real Time When LinkedIn Candidates Apply When a candidate applies to a Workable job through a LinkedIn posting, the integration immediately notifies the relevant hiring manager or recruiter via email, Slack, or another connected tool. Fast follow-up matters — especially for candidates from targeted campaigns — and this makes sure no one slips through because of a slow review queue. - Cut review lag time for LinkedIn-sourced applicants - Improve candidate experience through faster recruiter response - Make sure high-priority applicants get immediate attention ## Templates ### Publish New Workable Jobs to LinkedIn Automatically This template monitors Workable for newly published job openings and creates corresponding postings on LinkedIn, mapping job title, description, employment type, and location automatically.

Employment types, location formats, and pipeline stage names rarely match out of the box, which means manual integrations tend to produce failed syncs or wrong data. **How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's visual data mapper lets teams build custom field mappings between Workable and LinkedIn formats, including transformation logic for values like employment type labels or location structures, so data arrives correctly without manual cleanup. ### Handling Duplicate Candidates Sourced from Multiple Channels Candidates frequently show up in both Workable (via direct apply) and LinkedIn Recruiter (via sourcing) at the same time. Without deduplication, you end up with duplicate profiles, conflicting notes, and multiple recruiters contacting the same person. **How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai runs deduplication checks before creating new records — matching on email address or LinkedIn URL — and merges or links records instead of creating duplicates. Your ATS stays clean and recruiters don't step on each other's outreach. ### Managing LinkedIn API Rate Limits During High-Volume Hiring Cycles During aggressive hiring pushes, the volume of job postings, candidate syncs, and status updates can hit LinkedIn API rate limits quickly, causing delayed or failed operations that leave your systems out of sync. **How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai includes built-in rate limit handling, retry logic, and request queuing so high-volume operations don't pile up or fail silently. Workflows throttle and retry automatically without anyone on your team having to intervene. ### Keeping Job Postings Accurate Across Both Platforms in Real Time When a job description changes in Workable — a new salary range, updated requirements, a revised title — that change needs to hit the LinkedIn posting right away. At any real hiring volume, managing that manually isn't realistic. **How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai monitors Workable for job record updates and triggers the corresponding update on LinkedIn automatically, so changes go live on both platforms without recruiters editing postings in two places. ### Authenticating and Maintaining Secure API Connections Across Both Platforms LinkedIn uses OAuth-based authentication that requires periodic token refresh. Workable uses API key-based access. Keeping both connections live, secure, and uninterrupted is a real operational headache for engineering teams — and when credentials break, recruiting workflows stop. **How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai handles LinkedIn's OAuth token refresh automatically and stores all credentials in an encrypted credential store. Recruiters and HR ops teams can set up and manage connections through a guided UI without engineering support. If a connection breaks, the system alerts you immediately. ## Learn more - Intelligent Integration: https://tray.ai/platform/intelligent-ipaas/ - Merlin Agent Builder: https://tray.ai/platform/merlin-agent-builder/ - Agent Gateway for MCP: https://tray.ai/platform/agent-gateway/ - Book a demo: https://tray.ai/contact/
