Last updated: November 11, 2026[Employers](/help/category/employers) Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or Pi. ## What an ATS integration does An applicant tracking system (ATS) is where your team reviews candidates. When you connect yours, people who choose to share their Metaintro profile with you for a job go straight into your ATS. You don't copy anything by hand. For each person, Metaintro adds them as a candidate on the job you linked. Where your ATS allows it, Metaintro also uploads their résumé when they shared one and adds a note with a link to their proof card. When your team moves them to a new stage in your ATS, such as interview, offer, hired or rejected, Metaintro shows that stage too. Your ATS guide below lists exactly what your ATS supports. ## Before you start - Only owners and admins of your Metaintro company account can manage integrations. - You need someone who can create an API key or similar credential in your ATS. Each ATS guide below says which role and plan that takes. - If you see "ATS sync isn't on for your account yet", ask your Metaintro contact to turn it on. ## Set up in five steps Go to Settings > Integrations. A checklist walks you through five steps. 1. **Connect.** Choose your ATS, paste the details it asks for, and select Connect. Metaintro checks the details with your ATS before it saves them. 2. **Map jobs.** Link each Metaintro job to the matching job in your ATS, so candidates land in the right place. Select Match by title to link jobs with the same title in one go. No one is sent for a job until it is linked. 3. **Rules.** Choose who goes to your ATS and how. Pick Send automatically, Approve first or Off. You can also require a minimum match, required skills or certifications, a positive screening, a maximum distance, how soon they can start, work authorization or a pay fit. You can set rules for all jobs, or for one job. Until you save rules, everyone who shares with you is sent. 4. **Preview.** Before you save, see how many people would be sent now, how many would wait for your approval, and how many would stay in Metaintro. Use Check a person to see what would happen to one person who shared with you, and why. This step is done once the first candidate reaches your ATS. 5. **Go live.** Sending is on once your ATS is connected, at least one job is linked, and your rules aren't set to Off. The checklist shows "On" and the mode you chose. To pause sending, set your rules to Off. ## Only people who chose to share are sent Metaintro never sends anyone who hasn't chosen to share their profile with you for that job. It only sends what they agreed to share. For example, if someone didn't share their phone number or résumé, your ATS doesn't get them. If someone stops sharing before they are sent, they aren't sent. Candidates who are already in your ATS stay there. If a person matches more than one candidate in your ATS, Metaintro doesn't guess. It doesn't send them, and Recent ATS activity says why. ## How "Approve first" works With Approve first, people who meet your rules wait in a list called "Waiting for your approval" on the Integrations page. Nothing goes to your ATS until you act: - Select **Send to** your ATS to send the person now. - Select **Keep in Metaintro** to keep them out of your ATS. The job must be linked to an ATS job before you can send someone. Some people also wait for approval when you use Send automatically. If a rule depends on something a person hasn't shared, such as distance, start date, work authorization or pay, Metaintro holds them for you to decide instead of guessing. ## How stage changes come back Most ATSs send stage changes in one of two ways. Your ATS guide says which. A few ATSs don't share stages with other apps, and their guide says so. - **By webhook.** Your ATS tells Metaintro as soon as a stage changes. After you connect, Metaintro shows a webhook address, and a secret key or a box for a signing token. Add the webhook in your ATS with those details. - **Checked regularly.** Metaintro checks your ATS for stage changes about every hour. You don't need to set anything up. Your ATS is the source of truth. When a stage there differs from Metaintro, Metaintro takes the stage from your ATS. ## ATSs you can connect yourself - [ApplicantStack](/help/connect-applicantstack-to-metaintro) - [Ashby](/help/connect-ashby-to-metaintro) - [BambooHR](/help/connect-bamboohr-to-metaintro) - [Breezy HR](/help/connect-breezy-to-metaintro) - [CATS](/help/connect-catsone-to-metaintro) - [Cegid Talentsoft Recruiting](/help/connect-talentsoft-to-metaintro) - [Cornerstone Recruiting](/help/connect-cornerstone-to-metaintro) - [Crelate](/help/connect-crelate-to-metaintro) - [Dayforce Recruiting](/help/connect-dayforce-to-metaintro) - [Deel](/help/connect-deel-to-metaintro) - [Dover](/help/connect-dover-to-metaintro) - [Eightfold](/help/connect-eightfold-to-metaintro) - [Eploy](/help/connect-eploy-to-metaintro) - [Greenhouse](/help/connect-greenhouse-to-metaintro) - [Gupy](/help/connect-gupy-to-metaintro) - [HiringThing](/help/connect-hiringthing-to-metaintro) - [Homerun](/help/connect-homerun-to-metaintro) - [JazzHR](/help/connect-jazzhr-to-metaintro) - [JobDiva](/help/connect-jobdiva-to-metaintro) - [JOIN](/help/connect-join-to-metaintro) - [Keka Hire](/help/connect-keka-to-metaintro) - [Lever](/help/connect-lever-to-metaintro) - [Manatal](/help/connect-manatal-to-metaintro) - [onlyfy](/help/connect-onlyfy-to-metaintro) - [Oracle Taleo Business Edition](/help/connect-taleo-business-to-metaintro) - [Personio](/help/connect-personio-to-metaintro) - [Pinpoint](/help/connect-pinpoint-to-metaintro) - [RecMan](/help/connect-recman-to-metaintro) - [Recooty](/help/connect-recooty-to-metaintro) - [Recruit CRM](/help/connect-recruitcrm-to-metaintro) - [Recruitee](/help/connect-recruitee-to-metaintro) - [SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting](/help/connect-successfactors-to-metaintro) - [SmartRecruiters](/help/connect-smartrecruiters-to-metaintro) - [Teamtailor](/help/connect-teamtailor-to-metaintro) - [Tracker](/help/connect-trackerrms-to-metaintro) - [TRAFFIT](/help/connect-traffit-to-metaintro) - [Trakstar Hire](/help/connect-trakstar-to-metaintro) - [UKG Ready Recruitment](/help/connect-ukg-ready-to-metaintro) - [Workable](/help/connect-workable-to-metaintro) - [Workday Recruiting](/help/connect-workday-to-metaintro) - [Zoho Recruit](/help/connect-zoho-recruit-to-metaintro) ## Available on request Some ATSs appear in the list as "on request". You can't connect them yourself yet, because the ATS needs work on our side or a credential the vendor issues. Read [ATSs available on request](/help/ats-available-on-request) to see which ones and what to do. ## If something goes wrong - **"Needs attention"**: your ATS rejected the key, or it no longer has the right permissions. Check the key is still valid in your ATS, or disconnect and connect again with a new one. - **"Will retry"** in Recent ATS activity: your ATS didn't respond. Metaintro tries again on its own. You can also select Retry now. - **"Not sent"**: the person stopped sharing, didn't meet your rules, you kept them in Metaintro, or they matched more than one candidate in your ATS. If you disconnect, new candidates stop going to your ATS and stage changes stop coming back. Candidates you already sent stay in your ATS. ### Was this article helpful? ## Related Articles - [ATSs available on requestWhy some applicant tracking systems can't be connected yourself yet, and what to do if you use one.](/help/ats-available-on-request) [Return to navigation](#main-navigation)
