What Is This

Lever Sandbox Automation is a composable skill designed for the Happycapy Skills platform, enabling users to automate tasks within the Lever Sandbox environment using Rube MCP (Composio). Lever is a widely used applicant tracking system (ATS) that offers a sandbox environment for safe development, testing, and integration without impacting live production data. The Lever Sandbox Automation skill acts as an integration layer, allowing developers and automation engineers to interact programmatically with the Lever Sandbox API. This skill helps orchestrate actions such as creating, updating, or deleting candidate profiles, managing notes, and overseeing candidate pipelines within the sandbox, all through automated workflows.

Why Use It

Modern recruitment processes involve repetitive and error-prone tasks like candidate data entry, pipeline transitions, and note management. Manual handling of these operations in the sandbox can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially during development or testing of integrations and workflows. The Lever Sandbox Automation skill provides several key benefits:

  • Accelerated Development: Automate setup, configuration, and validation tasks when building Lever integrations.
  • Safe Experimentation: Use the sandbox to test new processes and automations without risking production data integrity.
  • Reduced Manual Work: Eliminate repetitive manual API calls and data entry during development cycles.
  • Consistency: Automated scripts ensure consistent test data and repeatable actions across environments.
  • Integration Readiness: Streamline your path to production by validating automations in a controlled sandbox before deployment.

How to Use It

To leverage the Lever Sandbox Automation skill, you need a Happycapy Skills-enabled environment with Rube MCP (Composio) set up. The skill abstracts away direct HTTP requests and exposes easy-to-use actions that map to common Lever Sandbox API endpoints. The following example demonstrates how to automate candidate creation and add a note to a candidate using this skill in a Rube MCP workflow.

Prerequisites

  • A Happycapy Skills workspace
  • Rube MCP (Composio) integration
  • Lever Sandbox API credentials (client ID, client secret, sandbox endpoint)
  • The lever-sandbox-automation skill installed

Example Workflow

YAML Workflow Example

steps:
  - id: create_candidate
    uses: lever-sandbox-automation/create-candidate
    with:
      name: "Jane Doe"
      email: "jane.doe@example.com"
      phone: "+15555550123"
      stage: "New Applicant"
      tags: "Engineering,Intern"
      resume_url: "https://example.com/resume.pdf"

  - id: add_note
    uses: lever-sandbox-automation/add-note
    with:
      candidate_id: "${{steps.create_candidate.outputs.candidate_id}}"
      note: "Initial interview scheduled for next week"

Step-by-Step

  1. Create a Candidate: The create-candidate action sends a request to the Lever Sandbox API to create a new candidate in the sandbox environment.
  2. Add a Note: The add-note action attaches a note to the candidate profile just created, using the output from the previous step for the candidate ID.

Supported Actions

  • create-candidate: Add new candidates to the sandbox.
  • update-candidate: Modify existing candidate profiles.
  • delete-candidate: Remove test candidates.
  • add-note: Attach notes to candidate records.
  • move-candidate-stage: Change a candidate's pipeline stage for test workflow validation.

Each action exposes parameters mirroring Lever's own API, ensuring you can mimic production behaviors in your sandbox environment.

When to Use It

Lever Sandbox Automation is ideal in the following scenarios:

  • Integration Development: When building custom integrations with Lever and needing a safe place to validate workflows before pushing to production.
  • Automated Testing: For continuous integration (CI) pipelines that require realistic candidate lifecycle scenarios in the sandbox.
  • Demo Environments: Setting up demo data for training, sales, or demo environments without risking real candidate information.
  • Bulk Data Operations: When you need to populate or clean up large numbers of candidate records during development.
  • Regression Testing: Ensuring that workflow changes or new features do not break existing Lever integrations.

By using this skill, teams can confidently automate and test their Lever-connected workflows without manual intervention or risk to sensitive production data.

Important Notes

  • Sandbox Only: This skill is strictly for use with Lever's sandbox environment. Using production credentials may cause errors or unintended data changes.
  • API Limits: Lever Sandbox has rate limits similar to production. Respect these to avoid throttling.
  • Data Persistence: Sandbox data may be periodically wiped by Lever. Do not rely on long-term persistence for test data.
  • Credential Management: Securely store Lever API credentials. Avoid hardcoding them in workflows.
  • Action Parameters: Always verify required parameters (such as candidate ID or note content) are correctly provided for each action.
  • Skill Updates: Monitor the official repository for updates and new supported actions.

Lever Sandbox Automation for Happycapy Skills is an essential tool for any team developing, testing, or demonstrating Lever-based solutions. By automating routine tasks in a safe environment, it accelerates development cycles and ensures robust, production-ready integrations.
