Integrations
ALOT integrates into your hiring stack through API keys, REST endpoints, and webhooks. This page outlines common patterns to connect ATS, HRIS, and internal systems.
Integration Options
- REST API for creating assessments, inviting candidates, and reading results.
- Webhooks for near real-time event notifications.
- JavaScript SDK for developer-friendly API consumption in Node.js apps.
Common Workflows
- Create candidate records in your ATS.
- Trigger assessment invites via API.
- Receive completion updates through webhooks.
- Sync score and status back to your internal systems.
Best Practices
- Use one API key per environment (development, staging, production).
- Rotate secrets periodically and revoke unused keys immediately.
- Treat webhook deliveries as at-least-once and process idempotently.
- Add retries and dead-letter handling in your integration workers.
