Webhooks and Zapier Integration

Automate New Hire Workflows Instantly

Discovered supports webhook triggers that let you automate what happens when candidates are marked as hired. Connect with Zapier and instantly send new hire data to your payroll or HR systems—no dev work required.

Why Use Webhooks?

Cut Manual Work

Send key candidate data (like name, email, job title, start date) to other tools instantly—no spreadsheets, copy/paste, or delays.

Works with Any System

Even if we don’t natively integrate with your payroll or HR platform, you can still sync new hire info using Zapier and a webhook.

Keeps Your Stack in Sync

Discovered becomes the source of truth—whenever you hire someone, your other systems stay updated in real time.

How Webhooks Work with Zapier

Build the Zap

In Zapier, choose “Webhooks by Zapier” as your trigger app and select “Catch Hook.” You’ll receive a custom webhook URL—copy that for the next step.

Send Us the Webhook URL

Share your webhook URL with Discovered Support or your account manager. We'll configure your account to trigger this webhook when a candidate is marked as “Hired.”

Data Sent Automatically

When someone is hired, we send the following info via webhook:

Full Name
Email Address
Phone Number
Job Title
Department (if available)
Start Date

Need extra fields? Just let us know—we’ll customize the payload to match your system’s requirements.

Test and Finalize

Use Zapier’s test tools to catch a sample webhook and confirm your data formatting. Then set up the action step (e.g., POST to your payroll system) using JSON formatting and the appropriate headers.
