JobAdder ATS Integration

How to set up an integration between your JobAdder (Applicant Tracking System) and MyHR accounts, powered by Zapier

To connect your JobAdder and MyHR accounts we use a 3rd system Zapier, both JobAdder and MyHR have built Zapier apps.

Connecting JobAdder to Zapier and MyHR to Zapier means setting up a Zap with a JobAdder Trigger and MyHR action. There are 2 parts to this set up one in MyHR and one in the Zapier.

If you already have the connection set up see How to Edit your Draft People and How to Confirm Draft People.

How the integration works

The JobAdder to MyHR integration allows you to transfer applicant information you've collected during the recruitment process into MyHR as a draft person record.

Once you have a draft person in MyHR you can add any extra information that is required to confirm the person which will send a request to MyHR to create an employment agreement or contract, as well as allowing you to request support from the MyHR team for that person.

Part 1 - How to set up a JobAdder powered by Zapier integration in MyHR

The following shows you how to set up a JobAdder integration in MyHR. This is required for you to create a Zapier Zap and transfer person data to your MyHR account.

Select "Manage Integrations" from the menu
Click "Add item"
Click anywhere on the "JobAdder powered by Zapier" entry.
Click "Authorise Zapier to access MyHR account".
You can now move on to Part 2 - How to connect your JobAdder account to your MyHR account

Select 'Connect JobAdder + MyHR' from the JobAdder to MyHR template to create a draft zap.
Once your draft zap is available, in the trigger, Placements (new or status changes), connect JobAdder.
You will be asked to authorise the Zap connection to JobAdder. Click "Accept" to authorise the connection. If you are unsure seek advice from your IT / security professional but if you do not there will be no way to send JobAdder placements to your MyHR account.
Once connected the account will show in the "Choose account" drop down.
Choose when to trigger - select 'New Records Only' and continue.
Test your trigger. Once you're happy, continue on to set up the Action that occurs when the Trigger occurs.
Retrieve your API key to connect MyHR - sign in to MyHR (in a different tab) and then copying the API key that is available from your integration settings (see part 1, step 5).
Connect your MyHR account to the action - in the action, Create AU Draft Person in MyHR, connect MyHR, select 'Sign in' and enter your API key and continue.
Check the fields mapped and update any you might need to for your business.
Test your action.
Once you have both the Zap trigger and action set up it's time to switch on your Zap.

Draft people will be automatically created in MyHR once you make placements. When you get an alert about a new draft person, log in to MyHR, update and confirm the employee details to start accessing MyHR support relating to your new employee.

Example of data mapping between JobAdder and draft person in MyHR

When setting up your zap, you want to map as many fields as possible, which happens in step 8 of connecting JobAdder to your MyHR account. The following shows an example of which data fields to map between the two systems for NZ and AU draft people.
