Greenhouse-Specific Features and Limitations

Skyvia has the following limitations for Greenhouse:

• In the Data Integration product, Greenhouse connections are supported only for packages, which use a new data integration runtime.

  Make sure that the Use new runtime checkbox is selected on the tab bar if you want to use Greenhouse in your package.

• Skyvia supports DML operations for such Greenhouse objects:
  • INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE: Applications, Candidates, ScheduledInterviews.
  • INSERT, UPDATE: Departments, Jobs, Offices, Users.
  • INSERT, DELETE: CandidateTags, Tags, UserFutureJobPermissions, UserJobPermissions.
  • INSERT: JobOpenings.
  • UPDATE: JobPosts.

• Skyvia supports Replication with Incremental Updates for such Greenhouse objects: Candidates, EmailTemplates, JobPosts, Jobs, JobStages, Offers, ScheduledInterviews, ScoreCards, Users.

• Skyvia supports Synchronization for such Greenhouse objects: Candidates, Jobs, ScheduledInterviews, Users.

• When importing data to the Candidates object, values for the Applications field must be specified as a JSON arrays, like the following: [{"job_id": 215725}, {"job_id": 185289}] .

• UserJobPermissions and UserFutureJobPermissions object do not support import of records with UserId containing Ids of a user with the job admin role.

• When importing data to the CandidateTags object, primary keys of the records (TagId and CandidateId fields) are not returned and they are empty in the logs. That doesn’t mean that the records were not imported.

• For the Applications object, only the CandidateId field is marked as required because applications can be created in several different ways with different sets of required fields.
