The following guidance assumes you have Admin privileges for your Ashby
account.
## To Get External Trigger Token
From the StackOne hub, you will receive the `External Trigger Token` needed to enable the Ashby Integration.
## To enable the integration on your Ashby account
Please navigate to `Admin` in Ashby’s dashboard. Then navigate to `Integrations` and click on it
Check the Show unlaunched integrations flag, search for `Stackone` Integration and click on the integration as shown below. A pop up for enabling the `Stackone` integration will appear. Click on Enable `Stackone` integrations.
Once you enable the integration, a pop-up will appear, prompting you to fill in the required fields shown below.
Please click on `StackOne API Key`. An input field will appear, allowing you to enter the `External Trigger Token` provided by the StackOne Hub. After entering the `External Trigger Token`, click Update.
Please click on `Ashby API Key`. A search bar will appear, allowing you to enter the name of an existing Ashby API Key. If you want to use an existing one, select it; otherwise, click Create New API Key.

## Adding Background check to Candidate Pipeline.
Click on `New Activity` to add an background check at this stage. Click on `Assessment` that appears after `New Activity` is clicked.

Once selected, click on the `Add Activity` button at the bottom right corner of the` Add Assessment Activity`.
You will now see that the background check has been added to the candidate profile with a `Start Assessment` button in the `Activity` section.
## Sending StackOne background check test to a Candidate
Click the `Start Assessment` button in the Activity section of the selected candidate. A confirmation pop-up will appear, displaying the selected background check type. You can also modify the background check type using the dropdown list. Click `Start` to send the test.
The screen displays the background check status along with the date and time it was sent. Since the candidate has not yet completed the assessment, the result will remain pending.
