To configure the Silatus integration, you’ll need to connect your newly created Harvest API Key to Silatus. Once done, Silatus will automatically create a “Yes/No” custom job field titled Generate Job Post Descriptions.
To begin connection, navigate to Silatus and log in. Enter the following information:
Greenhouse Recruiting Admin email
Within your organization's Greenhouse Recruiting account, locate the email address for a user assigned Site Admin permissions in Greenhouse Recruiting.
For auditing purposes, this account will be used as the “On-behalf-of” user for automated actions taken by Silatus.
Navigate back to Silatus and enter the Site Admin user email address in the Greenhouse Admin Email field.
Greenhouse Recruiting Harvest API key
Next, enter the previously created Harvest API key in the Greenhouse Harvest API Key field.
Create a web hook for the Silatus integration
Note: You must complete the previous steps of creating a Harvest API key and connecting to Greenhouse Recruiting in Silatus prior to creating a web hook.
After connecting Greenhouse Recruiting in Silatus, you’ll also need to create a webhook. If Silatus and Greenhouse Recruiting are not connected through the previously outlined steps, you will be unable to proceed.
Follow the steps in this article to create your web hook. Silatus will generate a secret key and an endpoint URL for you to add to your Greenhouse Recruiting account. You will need to copy both to complete the integration setup.
Use the values listed below to configure the web hook:
- Name: A descriptive name for your integration. Most customers choose ‘Silatus integration’
- When: Job post created

- Secret Key: The Secret Key provided by Silatus
Once you have created the web hook, refresh the page on Silatus and confirm that your integration is fully connected and completed.
