Integration

Fountain integration

Fountain is a hiring platform for hourly and frontline workforces. With this API (Fountain Hire, API v2) an agent can list, search, create, update, advance and delete applicants, read their stage history, interview bookings, labels, notes and SMS messages, notify or text applicants, GDPR-anonymize them, manage openings (funnels), stages and interview hosts, calendar slots and bookings, positions, locations, location groups, hiring goals, company attributes and option banks, run custom and timestamped exports, manage webhook settings, and read or activate posthire workers. Applicant answers (the data map), secure fields (SSN, bank, ID documents), I-9, W-4 and background-check details are never returned (and webhooks created here cannot be set to deliver secure fields), and the secure document, applicant PDF print, AI interview report, user administration and Worker Experience routes are not exposed. Authentication is a private Hire API key (Company Settings, API) sent in the X-ACCESS-TOKEN header; the connection also asks for the account's host: api.fountain.com, or the regional host shown when logging in (for example us-2.fountain.com).

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Fountain.Built from the 102 Fountain tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Fountain

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.
