- Click + Add webhook under the 'Candidate Stage Change' toggle
- Input the Checkmate webhook into the URL field

Disabling the integration

How the Checkmate integration works
To utilize the Checkmate integration, move a candidate's opportunity to the trigger stage that you configured when setting up the integration.
In the image above, the 'Reference Check' stage triggers the Checkmate integration.
Click the Checkmate link that appears on the candidate's profile.
Select the checks that you wish to run for the candidate.
As the checks are being run, you can monitor their progress in Checkmate.
When the checks are complete, an entry will be added to the candidate's story in Lever.
From Checkmate, you can view and download the results of the checks.
