Send candidate replies from LinkedIn to Ashby. Connect the two with Curviate’s webhooks and API, then build the flow you need.
What is Ashby?
Ashby is a recruiting platform that combines an applicant tracking system, sourcing, scheduling and analytics. In-house talent teams, often at startups and tech companies, use it.
Visit ashbyhq.comHow Ashby works with Curviate
Curviate keeps Ashby in step with your LinkedIn sourcing: candidate replies land on the candidate, accepted invitations become prospects and Motion outcomes move stages. Connect the two through n8n, Make or Zapier, or with your own code.

Three flows teams set up first. Each one takes a few minutes.

Replies on the candidate
Each LinkedIn reply is added to the matching candidate in Ashby, so the hiring team sees it.

Accepted invites become prospects
When a candidate accepts your invitation, they are added to Ashby as a prospect for the right role.

Outcomes move the stage
When a candidate finishes a Motion with a reply, Ashby moves them to the next stage.

Everything runs on two things Curviate gives every account: signed webhooks out and a REST API in.

Does it work with LinkedIn Recruiter?

Do I need a developer?

Can every recruiter use their own account?
