Eploy Approach: Workflow-based Integrations

Eploy enables workflow-based integrations for recruitment, streamlining tasks like background checks. The process begins by regularly polling Eploy to identify applicants needing processing. Their data is then extracted to initiate the integration, which includes creating actions and marking exported applications. A typical Eploy workflow is structured as follows:

​

StackOne’s Unified Approach for Integration Partners

StackOne manages the Eploy-required polling internally. The interaction model for this integration follows our standard webhook-based Background Check pattern. Because Eploy requires polling, there can be a short delay between moving an application into the background check stage and the order being triggered. After your integration app is added as a stage in Eploy, configure the same stage name in StackOne as outlined in the following steps.

​

Provider Side Setup

Once the Eploy partnership is established, your Eploy integration app will appear in the Eploy Marketplace. After it is enabled for testing, the integration app will be available as a stage option in the Stages dropdown when creating or editing Recruiting Workflows.
