What Is n8n?

How to Connect TalentSight and n8n

Connecting the two systems takes only a few minutes. Here’s the full walkthrough:

Step 1 — Get Your API Key in TalentSight

Open TalentSight.
Go to Settings → API Integrations.
Generate and copy your API Key.
Keep it handy — you'll paste it into n8n in the next step.

Treat this key like a password. Anyone with access can use your TalentSight data.

Step 2 — Add the API Key to n8n

Open n8n and navigate to New Workflow.
Add a trigger, search for TalentSight and install the required node.
Create a new credential for TalentSight (or “HTTP API Credential” if using the generic HTTP node).
Paste in your API Key.
Save the credential.

If you're using the dedicated TalentSight node, n8n will prompt you specifically for the TalentSight API Key.

Step 3 — Confirm the Connection

Add a TalentSight node to your workflow.
Select your new credential.
Run a test operation (e.g., “List Candidates”).
If everything is set up correctly, n8n will return sample data.

If you see the expected response — you're connected.

Step 4 — Start Using the TalentSight Node

You can now:

Fetch candidates
Pull activity logs
Trigger workflows on new applications
Send updates to other tools
Combine TalentSight data with any of n8n’s 300+ integrations

Build as many automations as you like — from lightweight alerts to full multi-step pipelines.

Examples of Real Automations You Can Build

Here are a few ideas to inspire your workflows:

Add Candidates to a Campaign Automatically

Use the Candidate Search operation to find people who match specific criteria, then add them directly into a campaign using either Add to Campaign by Public Identifier or Add to Campaign by TalentSight ID. Perfect for keeping campaigns fresh without manual work.

Message Replied → Create a Lead or Task in Your CRM

Trigger an automation whenever a candidate replies (message.replied). Fetch their details, then automatically create or update a lead or task in your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive), ensuring your team never misses a warm response.

Once the connection is in place, the possibilities are nearly unlimited.

Wrapping Up

Connecting TalentSight to n8n gives you a flexible, customizable automation engine that can dramatically reduce manual work and increase team visibility. With just an API key and a few clicks, you can create powerful workflows tailored to your hiring process.
