Generating a flow is done by posting to the /flow-generations endpoint.
Creating a flow is a two-step process. First, you create a flow generation that will trigger the generation of the flow. When the flow is generated, you will receive a webhook notification to notify you the flow is ready.
When a flow is successfully generated, you will be billed for the flow generation. The cost of a flow generation is based on the type of flow. The cost of a FlowGeneration will be present on the cost field
Skills to ask the candidate, read about the VacancyAnalysis endpoint to learn how to generate these.
Webhook subscription (Setting up webhooks) on Flow and/or FlowGeneration for this guide we will assume you have subscribed to FlowGeneration updates.

Analyzing vacancy
Optionally you can use the VacancyAnalysis endpoint to analyze the vacancy for skills and requirements. You can use the result as input for the FlowGeneration parameters.
Generating the flow
Send a POST request to the /flow-generations endpoint.
Include the flow type (see Flow types for available flow types) and parameters in your JSON. In this case our flowType will be vacancy_application_flow. As context, you will want to give your vacancy text. As we are not passing an existing vacancyId a vacancy will be automatically created and be assigned to the flow resource.
Example
curl -X POST "https://api.recrubo.app/public/v2/flow-generations" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer xx-xx-xx-xx-xx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json" \

The Recrubo API will return a response like this: The status field will be queued until the flow has been generated. The cost field will be 0 until the flow has been successfully generated. The created vacancy will be available through the flow (identified by flowId) in the response.

When the flow has been generated a webhook payload will be sent to you looking like this: The status field will be finished and the cost field will be the cost of the flow generation in credits.

Checking your flow
In the BotStudio
You can visually check and tryout your flow in the Recrubo BotStudio, see the BotStudio embeddable. For an example on how to integrate Embeddables into your ATS see the guide Embedding the Inbox.
Via the API
See Flow to see how you can fetch the flow via the API.
You are now ready to create a FlowRun with the newly generated flow. Please see the next page or click Triggering flows to learn how to do this.
Otherwise, you can use your developer account to log in to and navigating to:
