1. To set up an integration between Outgrow & Greenhouse, you need to generate a Harvest API key in Greenhouse. To generate a Harvest API key for the integration, click the Configure icon (Gear Icon) in the upper right-hand corner. Then you need to navigate to Dev Center in the left-hand panel. From the Dev Center page, click on API Credential Management.

2. From the API Credential Management page, click Create New API Key to generate the API key for Handshake.

3. In the Create New Credential dialog box, make the following selections:

When finished, click Manage Permissions to generate the Harvest API key and automatically assign it the appropriate permissions required by Handshake.

IMPORTANT NOTE

You cannot access the full Harvest API key again after clicking I have stored the API Key. If you lose your API key and need to access it later, you must create a new API key, provide it to the integration partner, and then revoke access to the original key.

5. On the subsequent page, you can select all the permissions that you want to assign to your API key. You can also opt for Select All to grant all the permissions to the API key. Click on Save when finished.

Your Harvest API key for the Greenhouse Recruiting / Handshake integration is created and configured. In the next stage, you will learn how to configure the integration in Outgrow.

Once the details are added, click on Authenticate With Greenhouse to enable the integration.

IMPORTANT NOTE

1. For every new Outgrow content that you create you will have to Configure, Activate or Deactivate the integration from the Configuration section in the builder.

2. In case you have opted for Essentials or Freelancer subscription plans, you can only send Lead Form data from Outgrow to Greenhouse. In case additional information such as Questions, Answers, UTM Parameters, etc, are required to be sent to Greenhouse, you can reach out to our Support Team and we will be happy to create a discounted offer for you.

3. Almost every CRM tool has kept mapping the email field mandatory. Without the email, you can't identify lead data. So in order to set up an integration with Greenhouse, mapping the email field is absolutely necessary.
