API Key Permissions
Note on the read/write API key permission: Coworker relies on both the standard Ashby API, and webhook data to synchronize your activity. When the connection is made, webhooks will be created, as can be seen here. Please do not disable them, as Coworker would become unable to get real-time notifications of your activity.
The read permission on API keys is required for us to be able to verify the creation of these webhooks, as well as clean them up if the connection needs to be deleted.
No other write permission is required, Coworker will not be making any write operation on your data.
Information required for the Coworker connection:
api_key: the API key generated abovestart_date: the date of the first document that should be synchronized. No document updated before that will be synchronized. Format: ISO8601 date, ie. 2024-05-01T00:00:00Z
