Sometimes you need to transform the PeopleLensAI metadata before sending it to Slack. Add a "Code by Zapier" step with this snippet:

// Input: raw_metadata (JSON string from Webhook)
const metadata = JSON.parse(inputData.raw_metadata || '{}');

// Determine priority based on ATS data
const priority = metadata.ats_priority === 'high' ? '🔴 HIGH' : '⚪ NORMAL';

return { 
  slack_message: `*${priority}* New candidate synced from ${metadata.ats_source || 'API'}`
};

# Webhook Payload to Zapier/Make

{
  "event": "candidate.created",
  "timestamp": "2026-02-25T14:15:00Z",
  "data": {
    "id": "can_abc123",
    "email": "alex@rivera.com",
    "first_name": "Alex",
    "last_name": "Rivera",
    "external_id": "ats_77889",
    "job_title": "Staff Software Engineer",
    "metadata": {
      "ats_source": "lever",
      "ats_priority": "high",
      "referrer": "internal"
    }
  }
}
