How to integrate Ashby with Webflow

Recruiting teams need branded careers pages that update automatically when hiring needs change. Maintaining job listings across your ATS and public-facing website creates duplicate work and outdated information for candidates. Ashby helps simplify this as it’s an all-in-one recruiting platform.

Ashby connects to Webflow through embedded job boards, Zapier automation, and direct API integration. Use the embedded job board to display current openings without code. Connect through Zapier to automate data transfer between Ashby and other platforms. Build with APIs when you need custom candidate data flows and control over job listing structure in Webflow CMS.

Embed the Ashby job board

Add Ashby's prebuilt job board to any Webflow page using the platform's embed widget. This method requires no code and displays current openings automatically as your recruiting team posts them in Ashby.

The integration works through Ashby's job board embed code and Webflow's custom Code Embed element. Copy the embed snippet from Ashby, drag the embed element onto your Webflow page, and paste the code.

The embed displays the following elements:

• Job listings with filters: Show openings by department, location, or job type using Ashby's built-in filtering
• Application forms: Collect candidate information through Ashby's forms without building custom fields
• Company branding: Style the job board appearance to match your site design

The embed updates automatically when recruiting teams add or remove positions in Ashby. No manual page updates required.

Connect through Zapier

Link Ashby to Webflow through Zapier to automate data transfer between platforms. This method works for teams that need to trigger actions in other systems when recruiting events happen without writing custom code.

Set up Zaps that respond to Ashby events like new applications, interview scheduling, or offer acceptances. Connect these triggers to Webflow's Zapier integration to update CMS items, send notifications, or sync data to other tools.

Zapier enables these automation patterns:

• CMS synchronization: Update Webflow CMS collections when job status changes in Ashby
• Notification workflows: Send alerts to team communication tools when candidates complete applications
• Cross-platform data sync: Move candidate information between Ashby and other business systems

Zapier handles data transformation between platforms automatically. Configure authentication once for each platform, then build workflows through Zapier's visual interface.

Build with Webflow and Ashby APIs

Integrate Ashby directly with Webflow using their respective APIs when you need custom data flows, specialized application forms, or automated recruiting workflows. This approach requires server-side development due to Ashby's authentication model and CORS limitations.

The Ashby API provides access to jobs, candidates, applications, and recruiting analytics. The Webflow Data API controls CMS content, form submissions, and site data. Build a server-side integration layer that handles authentication, rate limiting, and data transformation between platforms.

This integration requires the following technical components:

• Server-side proxy architecture: Ashby uses HTTP Basic Auth without CORS support per authentication documentation, requiring backend infrastructure
• Rate limit management: Handle Ashby's 15 requests per minute organizational limit from API specifications compared to Webflow's 60 requests per minute from REST API documentation
• Dual authentication handling: Manage Ashby API keys and Webflow site tokens through Webflow's API introduction

Sync job postings to Webflow CMS

Create a server that fetches job data from Ashby and updates Webflow CMS collections automatically. This approach gives you complete control over job page design and SEO optimization while maintaining data accuracy.

Fetch job listings from the Ashby API, transform the data structure to match your Webflow CMS schema, then POST updates to Webflow. The Webflow CMS API handles content creation and updates for job collection items.

This implementation follows these steps:

• Job data retrieval: Call Ashby endpoints to get current openings, descriptions, requirements, and metadata
• Data transformation: Map Ashby job fields to Webflow CMS field types while handling rich text formatting and custom attributes
• CMS updates: Create or update Webflow collection items using site tokens and collection IDs

Schedule the sync process to run at regular intervals or trigger it through Ashby webhooks described in webhook authentication documentation when job data changes.

Process application submissions

Build custom application forms in Webflow that submit candidate data to Ashby's ATS. This method lets you design forms that match your site aesthetics while ensuring candidate information flows correctly to recruiting teams.

Capture form data through Webflow, validate submissions on your server, then POST to Ashby's application endpoint. Note that Ashby requires multipart/form-data format specifically for application submissions per API reference, while other endpoints use JSON.

Application processing requires these steps:

• Data format transformation: Convert Webflow form submissions to Ashby's expected multipart format for applications
• File upload processing: Handle resume attachments and portfolio files through your server before forwarding to Ashby
• Error handling: Manage validation errors and rate limits while providing clear feedback to applicants

Test the integration thoroughly with Ashby's sandbox environment before connecting production systems.

What you can build

Integrating Ashby with Webflow enables recruiting teams to maintain branded careers pages, automate candidate data flows, and build custom application experiences without leaving their workflow tools.

• Dynamic careers pages: Build a /careers page that pulls current job openings from Ashby into Webflow CMS collections and updates automatically as recruiting teams post or close positions in their ATS
• Custom application flows: Design multi-step application forms in Webflow that match your brand guidelines and route candidate data and resume files to Ashby's applicant tracking system
• Department-specific job boards: Create separate pages for Engineering, Sales, or Operations teams that filter Ashby job data by department and show relevant openings to different audience segments
• Recruiting event landing pages: Build campaign pages for job fairs or university recruiting events that display filtered positions and route applications with source tracking to Ashby
