Programmatically create custom tabs and actions

Post by lunchpaillola »

Hi all,

I’m curious about creating custom menu actions or tabs programmatically within Bullhorn.

My use case involves building a public integration where users can sign in and push data (such as candidate or client information) from Bullhorn into the app I’m developing for. I want to achieve this through a custom tab or action within Bullhorn.

Specifically, I’d like to know if it’s possible to create these custom tabs or actions programmatically when the user enables the integration in my app.

In the custom tab and menu actions ( https://bullhorn.github.io/Custom-Tabs- ... u-Actions/ ) documentation appears that this happens through the UI in Bullhorn, is there anything I could add or tag on an entity so that users could push information into my app?

Thank you!

I see this in the ]entity reference (link https://bullhorn.github.io/rest-api-doc ... stomactiom)for custom actions.

"Represents a Bullhorn custom action. Custom Actions are read only and must be configured through the Bullhorn application. For more information about custom actions, see: http://bullhorn.github.io/Custom-Tabs-and-Menu-Actions/"


Is there no way to programmatically create custom tabs or actions for Bullhorn users do they all have to configure it themselves in the application?
