🎯 What This Feature Does
For teams using Guide with an ATS like Greenhouse or Ashby, you can now configure a default “source” value to be applied when candidates are created through Guide booking links.
This ensures:
Your internal attribution is preserved when candidates schedule directly
You can distinguish between inbound traffic from sourcing links, direct referrals, or booking links
Guide-generated candidates automatically carry a source value into your ATS
Important Note: to enable this, you'll need to update your ATS<>Guide API permissions to include Sources > Get: List Sources
🛠️ How to Set the Default Source for Booking Links
Go to Settings → Scheduling Defaults
Scroll to the section labeled “ATS source”
Click Change to open the source selector
Use the dropdown or type to search for the appropriate source name from your ATS
Guide fetches the existing sources from your ATS by default
Lastly, select the desired source (Eg. Guide) — this will now be applied to any new candidate created via a Guide booking link
📥 What Happens in Your ATS
Once this is configured:
New candidates created via booking links will be assigned the selected source
In some ATSs (like Ashby), the referrer will also be set to the owner of the booking link
Source and referrer attribution is visible directly in your ATS under the candidate’s profile
✅ Best Practices
Create a clear, standardized source name in your ATS for Guide-related bookings (e.g. Guide Booking Link)
Document this mapping internally so your reporting stays consistent
Confirm that your ATS permissions allow Guide to read sources (e.g., Get: List Sources in Greenhouse Harvest)
