# Connect Workable to Slack > Bring recruiting updates directly into Slack so your team never misses a hiring decision that matters. **Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/workable-slack-integrations/ **Workable connector:** https://tray.ai/connectors/workable-integrations/ **Workable documentation:** https://tray.ai/documentation/connectors/service/workable **Slack connector:** https://tray.ai/connectors/slack-integrations/ **Slack documentation:** https://tray.ai/documentation/connectors/service/slack ## Overview Workable manages your recruiting pipeline. Slack is where your team actually works. When the two run separately, hiring managers miss candidate updates, interview feedback sits in limbo, and offer decisions drag on longer than they should. Connecting Workable with Slack through tray.ai puts the right hiring data in front of the right people when it's still useful. Recruiting moves fast, and every hour of delay can mean losing a good candidate to someone who moved quicker. When Workable and Slack are connected, your team gets instant notifications about new applicants, stage progressions, interview schedules, and hiring decisions — all inside the Slack channels they're already in. Recruiters stop manually pinging hiring managers, chasing down interview feedback, and sending status update emails. Leadership, HR, and department heads stay informed without logging into yet another platform. The result is a faster, more collaborative hiring process that holds up as you grow. ## Use cases ### Instant New Applicant Alerts to Hiring Channels Every time a new candidate applies to an open role in Workable, a Slack notification is automatically posted to the relevant job-specific or department channel. Hiring managers see the applicant's name, role, source, and resume link without ever logging into Workable. This keeps hiring teams engaged and responsive from the moment a candidate enters the pipeline. - Surfaces new applications instantly in Slack, cutting time-to-review - Keeps hiring managers in the loop without requiring them to monitor Workable continuously - Lets the team discuss first impressions right in the Slack thread, without switching tools ### Automated Interview Scheduling Notifications When an interview is scheduled or updated in Workable, all involved interviewers get an automatic Slack message with the candidate's name, interview time, format, and a link to the candidate's profile. No more forwarded calendar invites or tracking down interviewers to confirm availability. Everyone knows what's coming well before the interview starts. - Cuts manual interview reminders and reduces no-shows from internal team members - Gives interviewers direct access to candidate profiles before they walk into the room - Reflects scheduling changes from Workable in Slack immediately ### Candidate Stage Progression Updates As candidates move through hiring stages in Workable — applied, screening, interview, offer — automated Slack messages notify relevant stakeholders at each transition. Hiring teams get a live view of pipeline movement without manual status checks or lengthy standups. Leadership and hiring managers stay aligned on pipeline velocity across all open roles. - Gives all stakeholders real-time visibility into where candidates stand - Cuts down on status-update meetings and back-and-forth recruiter emails - Speeds up decision-making by keeping the right people continuously informed ### Hiring Decision and Offer Approval Notifications When a candidate is marked as hired or an offer is extended in Workable, a Slack message goes out automatically to the hiring team channel, tagging relevant stakeholders and summarizing the outcome. You can also trigger approval request messages in Slack when an offer is pending sign-off, prompting the right leaders to act directly from the message. - Builds shared recognition around successful hires across the team - Speeds up offer approvals by surfacing pending decisions directly in Slack - Keeps HR and finance instantly informed so onboarding prep can start right away ### Disqualified Candidate Notifications and Feedback Collection When a candidate is disqualified or rejected in Workable, the integration notifies the hiring manager in Slack and prompts them to submit a brief reason or feedback via a Slack message. This closes the loop on every candidate decision, improving hiring quality data in Workable and keeping your pipeline clean and well-documented. - Captures disqualification reasons consistently without extra admin work - Keeps hiring managers accountable for timely candidate disposition - Improves data quality in Workable for future pipeline analysis and reporting ### Daily or Weekly Hiring Pipeline Digest in Slack Automatically generate and post a Slack digest summarizing your Workable pipeline — total open roles, active candidates per stage, interviews scheduled this week, and recent hires. Delivered to leadership or HR channels on a set schedule, this digest replaces manual reporting and keeps everyone aligned on hiring health without a dedicated status meeting. - Saves recruiters hours of manual reporting and pipeline summarization per week - Gives leadership a consistent, at-a-glance view of overall hiring progress - Surfaces pipeline bottlenecks early so teams can course-correct faster ### Referral Submission and Tracking via Slack Employees can submit candidate referrals directly from a Slack workflow, with each submission automatically creating a candidate record in Workable and notifying the recruiting team. When a referred candidate moves through the pipeline, the referring employee gets automated Slack updates — keeping them engaged and more likely to refer again. - Removes most of the friction from the employee referral submission process - Automatically creates structured candidate records in Workable from Slack submissions - Keeps referring employees in the loop and increases future referral participation ## Templates ### New Workable Applicant → Slack Channel Notification Automatically posts a formatted Slack message to a designated hiring channel whenever a new candidate applies to a role in Workable, including candidate name, role, application source, and a direct link to the Workable profile.
