- Postman Collection contains all the APIs required for Recruiter System Connect integration. Development teams can use te Postman collection for reference while developing their code. It is fully functional and covers all the APIs so that it can be used as a playground to understand them in detail and try them out before starting any development activities
- Sample Applications provides an end to end flow concerning the Customer OnBoarding & Profile plugin. It can also be used as a playground to try the widgets out before embedding it on your website
Project Plan
Recruiter System Connect Integration involves significant development and testing efforts. To help Project Managers and Developers with the planning, timelines and to help create checkpoints on different activities, we have created a Project Plan mentioned below.
The entire integration activity is split into different Milestones. To make planning and execution easier for developers, we have further divided the Development Milestone by logically grouping all the integration APIs into 5 Modules.
Same Module structure is reflected in the API & Plugin Guide documentation & Postman Collection as well.
