Starting today, customers can opt-in to Ashby’s AI-powered features directly from their admin page. We’ve now released three features utilizing the latest advancements in generative AI and natural language processing to help augment your workflows in Ashby.

At the heart of Ashby’s AI feature-set is designing workflows that make you more productive. Whether that’s removing admin tasks, drafting contextual copy for outreach emails, or automatically building candidate reports, we aim to introduce this technology for material impact in your daily usage of the product.

Let’s take a look at the cornerstone AI features in Ashby starting with our most recent addition: Automatic email response classification.

## Automatic email response classification

<div style={{position: "relative", paddingBottom: "56.25%", height: 0}}><iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/a71b71d3c9de48babe12edcfb2d43de0" frameBorder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowFullScreen style={{position: "absolute", top: 0, left: 0, width: "100%", height: "100%"}}></iframe></div>

Ashby can automatically classify a recipient’s response to a sequence email as "Interested" or 'Not interested" depending on the text in the email reply.

![email response](/images/interested-richards.png)

You’ll see the response updated on the sequence page along with an icon that indicates it was set automatically.

![automatically-set](/images/automatically-set.png)

You'll also receive a notification via slack or email letting you know the classification has taken place. If the text in the email reply is not clear, the response status will remain unset. You can always adjust the response status directly if needed directly from the notification.

![override-response](/images/richards-notification.png)

You now have a smart shortcut for setting response status that helps you maintain your data hygiene. When your response status is consistently set, you can report on and optimize your outreach strategies.

## AI-generated filters for candidate search

Use natural language to describe the candidates you’re searching for and the AI assistant will automatically build the filters for you.

<div style={{position: "relative", paddingBottom: "56.25%", height: 0}}><iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/a48840459dde446f8b87944fd6b07163" frameBorder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowFullScreen style={{position: "absolute", top: 0, left: 0, width: "100%", height: "100%"}}></iframe></div>

This is great for exploring your candidate data as a newcomer or quickly building something complex as a seasoned user.

![natural-language-filters](/images/natural-language-filters.png)

You also have the option to tweak the filters or add new ones after the assistant has returned the filters e.g. filters 1-4.

![returned-filters](/images/returned-language-filters.png)

## Generative AI Email Tokens

Lastly, we have AI substitution tokens that can be used in your email sequences and LinkedIn outreach.

<div style={{position: "relative", paddingBottom: "56.25%", height: 0}}><iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/c672dba8a5d5433b8cb35d484a4efdfa" frameBorder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowFullScreen style={{position: "absolute", top: 0, left: 0, width: "100%", height: "100%"}}></iframe></div>

This AI-powered tool serves as both a research assistant and a copywriter. It automatically generates text for your emails, helping you to draft compelling copy. It will take into account the job description and the candidate’s work history.

![inserting-ai-token](/images/inserting-ai-token.png)

Similar to the AI-generated filters, you have the option to accept, edit, or regenerate the text provided by the token.

![ai-generated-copy](/images/ai-generated-copy.png)

By leveraging the clean data architecture that exists in Ashby, we can build truly valuable AI-based features that power your day-to-day tasks. We’re excited about upcoming AI functionality in the Ashby product and commit to maintaining a high bar for quality and reliability for our customers.

To get started head over to Organization Setup > Early Access to enable these three features. If you’re interested in trying out Ashby and our new AI features you can also [book a demo](https://www.ashbyhq.com/request-demo?utm_campaign=Content-ProductBlog&utm_source=blog&utm_content=ai-feature-bundle-23) to see them in action.

We're opening up access to three AI features in Ashby that help you remove daily admin tasks, draft compelling copy for outreach emails, and automatically build candidate lists.

New Feature Roundup: AI-Powered Features In Ashby

Today we're announcing the launch of our new Alert Template Library. This library features out-of-the-box templates, enabling you to create new alerts with just a click of a button for a wide variety of use cases.

<div style={{position: "relative", paddingBottom: "56.25%", height: 0}}><iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/c10c57ce99124d6aa9968cc51074c685" frameBorder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowFullScreen style={{position: "absolute", top: 0, left: 0, width: "100%", height: "100%"}}></iframe></div>

Surfacing the details of your data is crucial to ensuring you hit your recruiting goals. Removing any barriers to getting started with new alerts can go a long way.

With alert templates, you can set up alerts that notify recruiters "when a referral has been in review for more than two days" or "when a new promoter candidate experience survey is submitted"— and more. All with just one click.

![alert-template-library-view](/images/alert-template-library.png)

Today, we have pre-built alerts for surfacing data across:

* New hires
* Managing referrals
* Maintaining candidate velocity and SLAs
* Managing job status and setup
* Candidate experience surveys
* Onboarding
* Managing feedback
* General recruiting operations

These templated alerts will create the associated report automatically and pre-fill alert configuration details so you can start using it straightaway.

![alert-template-creation](/images/alert-template-show.png)

When we first built alerts we were constantly impressed by how innovative our customers were with creating and applying alerts to their workflows to improve their recruiting process. We took these learnings and packaged them up to share with all of you!

To get started head over to Reports > Templates > Alerts. You can read more about how alerts work at [Ashby University](https://ashbyhq.notion.site/Alerts-5c3b3f302a2c494d9b8767f180b6cca1). If you’re interested in trying out Ashby and the new Alert templates you can also [book a demo](https://www.ashbyhq.com/request-demo?utm_campaign=Content-ProductBlog&utm_source=blog&utm_content=alert-templates) to learn more.

Create alerts from our new alert template library that will automatically create the associated report and pre-fill alert configuration details.

New Feature: Surface and Deliver Detailed Data in One-Click with Alert Templates

You can now integrate Ashby with *[Zapier](https://zapier.com/)* connecting you to the 6,000+ apps in the Zapier ecosystem.

Many teams use Zapier as a critical part of their workflow to automate tasks between various apps through a series of triggers and actions.

This is perfect for quickly building automation for unique workflows you have as part of your recruiting process. See some example workflows below, powered by Ashby and Zapier.

![zapier-sms-example](/images/zapier-sms-example.png)

*Order company swag for new hires*

![zapier-swag-example](/images/zapier-swag-example.png)

*Email a specific list asking to promote your newly published job posting*

![zapier-promote-job-posting](/images/zapier-promote-example.png)

Any number of custom workflows are possible using the rich data sent between Zapier and Ashby. Right out of the gate we support Triggers in Zapier like:

* Application Changed Stage

* Interview Schedule Created / Updated
* Job Posting Published / Unpublished
* Offer Created / Deleted / Updated

We also support Actions such as:

* Find Job Consideration

We’re excited to open up Ashby to the Zapier ecosystem! Stay on the lookout for more triggers and actions in the coming months.

To get started you can head over to the Integrations marketplace in Ashby and enable Zapier. You can also read more about the integration over at *[Ashby University](https://ashbyhq.notion.site/Zapier-a8a4dfe224764a168eed87a7a98db7d2)*. If you’re interested in trying out Ashby and our new Zapier integration you can also *[book a demo with us](https://www.ashbyhq.com/request-demo?utm_campaign=Content-ProductBlog&utm_source=blog&utm_content=zapier-integration)* to learn more.

Ashby is now available on Zapier's no-code automation platform, connecting you to the 6,000+ apps in the Zapier ecosystem.

New Integration: Connect Ashby to Zapier’s Automation Platform

We’re excited to announce a new integration that brings you a reliable, bi-directional sync between Ashby and Workday.

By connecting Ashby and Workday you can:

1. Sync Workday Job Requisitions as jobs in Ashby
2. Sync Workday Positions as openings in Ashby
3. Push candidates hired in Ashby back into Workday

When building this integration we made sure to solve for a lot of the problems recruiting teams have experienced in the past when connecting an ATS to their HRIS.

## Current problems with legacy ATS and Workday integrations

* **Long implementation timelines:** Traditionally, you’d need to hire an outside consultant to build out this type of integration. It can take several months before having something you can actually use.
* **Upfront and ongoing costs:** These third-party consultants often have high upfront costs to build, and maintenance fees to manage the connection.
* **Poor visibility into issues:** If the integration has issues it’s challenging to diagnose and fix anything without the initial consultant. This can lead to a loss of data integrity and manual work to reconcile ATS and HRIS data.
* **Compromised workflows due to limitations:** Unfortunately, recruiting teams can also find themselves adjusting their hiring process to fit the limitations of the integration.

## A better way with the Ashby and Workday Integration

With this in mind we focused on three key areas to help teams with this critical integration point.

### Fast implementation

Where most custom integrations with legacy ATSs take 6+ months, we've been able to get customers integrated in just a few weeks. Easily configure high-level settings and rules for how data should move between the two systems.

![](/images/toggle-settings.png)

*Toggle settings for creating Ashby openings and Workday positions*

![job-mapping](/images/job-mapping.png)

*Automated rules for determining how jobs are created in Ashby from Workday Job Requisitions*

### Self-serve, real-time, and high data integrity

Our connection is API-based which allows us to continually refresh data and easily surface any validation errors. It also means you don’t need to hire any external consultants for setup and ongoing maintenance.

![api-settings](/images/api-settings.png)

*Control your Ashby connection to Workday in-house*

![read-only-data](/images/read-only-data.png)

*View read-only data from Workday in Ashby and easily link back to Workday*

### Highly customizable

And finally, we wanted to provide highly customizable options for moving data between the two systems. You can choose exactly how you want to sync Workday Job Requisitions and Positions into Ashby, and what details should be sent to Workday.

![](/images/job-sync-fields.png)

*Select Workday Job Requisitions fields that should be synced to Ashby jobs*

![opening-fields](/images/opening-sync-fields.png)

*Select Workday Position fields that should be synced to Ashby openings*

![offer-sync-fields](/images/offer-sync-fields.png)

*Select Ashby offer fields that should be synced to Workday*

By integrating Workday with Ashby, you have a zero-maintenance, reliable, two-way sync that’s fast to set up and has an immediate impact on your daily workflows.

> In addition to being able to cancel our daily syncs on data integrity between our ATS and Workday, our teams are saving hours every day being able to own their workflows from end-to-end without having to copy and paste between systems, manually scheduling in \[scheduling point solution], or making their interview plans fit inside the ATS versus what is best for assessing the candidate objectively and accurately. Ashby makes it easier for our teams to hire great talent quickly. *\-Toni Porter, Manager, Talent Acquisition Operations, Aurora Solar.*

*Read the full case study here: [How Aurora Solar Saved 40+ Hours Monthly with Ashby's Seamless Workday Integration.](https://www.ashbyhq.com/customers/aurora-solar)*

The Workday integration is currently available for Ashby customers. To get started you can head over to *[Ashby University](https://ashbyhq.notion.site/Workday-HRM-5ec59779fe394055856c3dff9ca3ceee)* and see an in-depth overview. If you’re interested in trying out Ashby and our new Workday integration you can also [book a demo with us](https://www.ashbyhq.com/request-demo?utm_campaign=Content-ProductBlog&utm_source=blog&utm_content=workday-integration) to learn more.

We're excited to announce our new integration that provides a real-time, bi-directional sync to Workday.

New Integration: Two-Way Syncing Between Ashby and Workday

With today's release, we're giving you the option to allow candidates to suggest times through direct booking links. If candidates can't find a suitable time, they can now send their preferred slots to the meeting organizer.

<div style={{position: "relative", paddingBottom: "56.25%", height: 0}}><iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/68d5481124474d35a0c98d89f68ca328" frameBorder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowFullScreen style={{position: "absolute", top: 0, left: 0, width: "100%", height: "100%"}}></iframe></div>

Keeping this scheduling workflow in Ashby reduces the back and forth email communication with meeting organizers if candidates can’t find a time that works for them. It also provides a more approachable way for candidates to suggest new times, rather than force a time that's inconvenient, leading to a higher quality interview experience.

To get started, you can enable the setting at the organizational level or on individual schedule templates.

![suggested-times-admin](/images/suggest-times-admin.png)

Now, when scheduling through a direct booking link candidates can have the option to suggest times to the meeting organizer.

![suggest-times-cta](/images/suggest-times-cta.png)

Candidates are taken to a scheduling flow where they can suggest different days and/or new time slots.

![submit-suggested-times](/images/submitting-suggested-times.png)

Once the candidate submits, a notification will automatically send to the meeting organizer via slack or email and appear in the candidate feed.

![suggested-times-feed-item](/images/suggested-times-feed-item.png)

This brings a critical piece of the interview scheduling workflow into Ashby, so hiring teams can be more productive and candidates can have a seamless interview experience. If you’re interested in using Ashby and the new “suggested times“ feature, [book a demo with us](https://www.ashbyhq.com/request-demo?utm_campaign=Content-ProductBlog&utm_source=blog&utm_content=suggested-times)!

Allow your candidates to suggest times when using direct booking links to schedule events. 

New Feature: Candidate Suggested Times for Direct Bookings

We’re excited to launch a new sourcing feature that allows you to scale, track, and report on your LinkedIn outreach activities. In Ashby, you can now add a sequence step that notifies you to send a LinkedIn InMail or LinkedIn connection request. You also have the option to log these two LinkedIn activities as one-off communication touch points outside of your sequences.

Sourcing and engaging candidates now involves more than just sending a handful of emails. Modern recruiters are diversifying their communication strategies to increase response rates. But, if your team is reaching hundreds of candidates weekly, through various communication methods, it becomes challenging to scale and track these efforts. Let’s look at how you can now handle this in Ashby.

## LinkedIn InMail & connection requests in sequences

You can now add a step in your sequences that will prompt you to send an InMail or connection request, using a customizable template you’ve set up.

![add-linkedin-step-to-sequence](/images/add-linkedin-step.png)

Once a sequence reaches a LinkedIn-specific stage, the sequence will pause. You'll then be notified via email as well as on the Ashby homepage to complete the action.

![notification-to-send-email](/images/notification-to-send-email.png)

These notifications will take you directly to the candidate’s LinkedIn profile where you can send the InMail or complete the connection request and mark it as done.

![send-and-mark-as-done](/images/send-and-mark-as-done.png)

## Directly logging outreach and replies

You may also want to send your LinkedIn outreach outside of a sequence. You can do that too! Quickly log these activities directly from the chrome extension.

![log-activity-from-chrome](/images/log-activity-from-chrome.png)

Or, from the candidate profile.

![log-activity-from-profile](/images/log-activity-from-profile.png)

## Reporting on outreach activities

To understand the impact of your multi-channel sourcing strategy, we've added a new reporting subject called "Outreach Activities" for you to build custom reports from.

![outreach-activity-subject](/images/outreach-activity-subject.png)

We’ve also included report templates that give you Outreach Activity reporting out-of-the-box.

![outreach-activity-template](/images/outreach-activity-template.png)

Now, we can easily see a report of all Outreach Activities, broken out by channel, over the last three months. 

![outreach-activity-report](/images/outreach-act-report.png)

These new LinkedIn outreach activities give you a ton of flexibility for scaling and tracking your sourcing strategies across multiple communication channels within Ashby. 

You can read up on all the details at [Ashby University](https://ashbyhq.notion.site/Sequences-InMail-and-Connection-Request-Stages-0478fe894c4847e8a3e29c878c659b6f), or get started by adding these steps to your sourcing and outreach workflows. You can also [book a demo](https://www.ashbyhq.com/request-demo?utm_campaign=Content-ProductBlog&utm_source=blog&utm_content=linkedin-outreach-tracking) if you’re interested in using our new LinkedIn outreach activity tracking feature in Ashby!

Add LinkedIn InMail and connection requests as steps in your sequences, or log them directly.
