To enable full integration of your Lever ATS account with Get on Board, including automatic candidate exports, you need a Lever Data API key (v1).
Steps to Get a v1 API Key:
- Log in to your Lever account
- Go to Settings → Integrations and API
- Click on the API Credentials tab
- Create a new API key
- Click on "Create new API key" or similar button
- Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "Get on Board Integration")
- Select the required permissions:
- Read job postings
- Create opportunities (candidates)
- Read opportunities data
- Copy and Save Your API Key
- Important : Copy the API key immediately and store it securely
- You won't be able to see it again after closing the dialog
- Keep your API key confidential - it carries many privileges
- Configure Get on Board Integration
- Go to Get on Board's Lever integration settings
- Enter your Lever site name
- Paste the API key you just created
- Test the connection to verify it works
Important Notes:
- API Version : All API keys created from the Lever dashboard are v1 (Data API) keys by default
- Authentication : Lever API keys use Basic Auth (API key as username, password left blank)
- Multiple Keys : You can have multiple API keys active at once if needed
- Security : Keep your API keys secret and confidential
How to Tell if You Have the Right Key:
- v1 (Data API) : Full integration support - job imports AND candidate exports ✓
- v0 (Postings API) : Limited support - only job imports, candidate exports will fail ✗
If you currently have a v0 key, Get on Board will show a warning during connection setup, but job imports will still work. However, candidates who apply through Get on Board will not be automatically exported to your Lever account.
