QuikPitch for Zapier

Zapier connects QuikPitch to thousands of other apps with no code. It's the quickest way to get applicants into Greenhouse, Workable or Lever, tell a team in Slack, or log everything in a spreadsheet.

Get started

Private beta. The QuikPitch app is shared by invitation while we test it with our first companies. To get an invite, email hello@quikpitch.co with the email address you use for Zapier.

1. Make an API key

In your QuikPitch dashboard go to Integrations → API keys, make a key (name it something like “Zapier”) and copy it. It's shown once. If you ever need to cut Zapier off, revoke that key.

2. Accept the invite

Open the invitation we send, and accept it in Zapier. QuikPitch is then in your app list.

3. Make a Zap

In Zapier choose Create → Zap.
For the trigger pick QuikPitch, then one of the events below.
When asked to connect, paste your API key. It should show your company's name.
Click Test trigger: you'll see real applications from your account, with every field.
Add what should happen next, then turn the Zap on.

Send applicants to your ATS

This works the same way for Greenhouse, Workable and Lever: a QuikPitch trigger, and your ATS's own “Create candidate” action. Native connections to each are on the way; until then this does the job, and you can set it up today.

The Zap

Trigger: QuikPitch → New Application to send everyone, or Application Shortlisted or Moved Back to send only the people you shortlist. For a busy job the second keeps your ATS free of candidates you never wanted there: add a Filter step that continues only if Status is shortlisted.
Action: choose Greenhouse, Workable or Lever and its “Create candidate” (the name differs a little in each).
Match the fields as below, test it, and turn it on.

In your ATS	Use from QuikPitch
Name	Candidate Name
Email	Candidate Email (only set if they shared it)
Job	Match to your ATS job using Job Title
Source	“QuikPitch”
Notes	Link to Application in QuikPitch: this is how your team watches the video

Try it first with a test job in your ATS. Each system is slightly different about which job a candidate belongs to, and some won't accept a candidate with no email. If yours won't, add a Filter so only candidates with an email continue, or use a placeholder and rely on the link in the notes.

Moving people from the ATS side

It works the other way too. Use your ATS (or any app) as the trigger and QuikPitch → Shortlist an Application as the action, passing it the application's ID, which you can keep in the candidate's notes. Rejecting someone and inviting them to interview each send the candidate a personal message, so those stay in QuikPitch.

Start a new Zap. For the trigger, use your ATS, or Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook if you're sending from your own system.
Add QuikPitch → Shortlist an Application as the action and connect your QuikPitch account.
In the Application field, open the options (⋮) and switch from the list to Custom (some accounts call it Dynamic). The list is only a picker of recent applications; Custom lets the Zap use the ID it was sent.
Click the field and pick the application ID from the trigger's data. Leave Move To as Shortlisted.
Test the step (it really does move that application), then publish the Zap.

What it can do

Triggers: what starts a Zap

New Application	Someone applies for one of your jobs.
Application Shortlisted or Moved Back	An application is shortlisted, or moved back to new.
Application Rejected	You reject an application.
Interview Confirmed	An interview time is agreed: the candidate picks one, or you confirm one they suggested.
Interview Declined	A candidate declines an interview.

Triggers arrive within seconds and nothing polls, so there's no delay and no wasted runs.

Action

Shortlist an Application

Shortlists an application, or moves it back to new.

Search

Find Application

Looks one up by its ID, with its full details.

The fields you can use

Application ID	Identifies the application (use it with the Shortlist action).
Job Title, Job ID	The job it's for.
Status	new, shortlisted, interview or rejected (and Previous Status, when it moved).
Link to Application in QuikPitch	Opens it in your dashboard, for anyone on your team signed in.
Candidate Name	Their name.
Candidate Email	Only if they applied without an account, or ticked “share my email” on their application.
Candidate Phone	Only for people who applied without an account.
Candidate Current Job Title, Location	From their application.
Candidate Profile URL, Username	For QuikPitch members.
Source, Applied At, Updated At, First Viewed At	Where and when.
Interview fields	On the two interview triggers: type, link or address, length, the confirmed time (as text, and as a universal date-time for calendars) and its timezone.

Good to know

Candidates' contact details. QuikPitch members' emails and phone numbers stay private unless they choose to share their email on an application. People who apply on your own website without an account give theirs to apply, so you always have it.
The link opens in QuikPitch. Anyone on your team who is signed in can use it. Add your hiring managers as team members (a Viewer seat can watch the videos).
Your Zapier plan decides which other apps you can use. QuikPitch doesn't charge for the connection, but some apps in Zapier (some ATS connectors, and Webhooks) are marked Premium and need a paid Zapier plan. Check the tag when you pick the app.
Each Zap subscribes by itself when you turn it on and unsubscribes when you turn it off. You can have up to 100 on the go.
Prefer to build it yourself? Everything the Zapier app uses is in the API and webhooks.

If something stops working

Zapier shows the step that failed in Zap History. The usual causes:

“QuikPitch didn't accept your API key”. The key was revoked or mistyped. Make a new one under Integrations → API keys and reconnect.
Your ATS step fails. Its login has expired (reconnect it in Zapier), or it needs a field QuikPitch didn't send, like an email.
“Can't be moved this way”. An application that's been rejected, or is at the interview stage, can't be shortlisted from a Zap.
Nothing happens at all. Check the Zap is on, and that the QuikPitch subscription is active: connections pause with the account.
