Three actions you can hand over today

Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.

  • Create employee

    Lyro creates a new employee record in your recruiting platform immediately after hire approval. The employee becomes available for onboarding, benefits setup, and payroll enrollment.

  • Update background check status

    Lyro logs background check results directly into the candidate's hiring file. Your team sees verification outcomes and can proceed with final offer approval.

  • Upload employee documents

    Lyro attaches signed offers, identity verification, and compliance documents to the employee record. All legal docs remain centralized and audit-ready for compliance.

How businesses use Workable + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Workable actions Lyro runs to close it.

  • Answer where a candidate is in the pipeline

    Lyro lists candidates across jobs filtered by role, stage, or email, reads the job they applied to, and names the pipeline stage they sit in, so a hiring manager gets the status without opening Workable.

  • Create the employee record for a new hire

    Lyro checks which employee fields the account defines, creates the record in draft or published state, and uploads the contracts and forms that belong on it.

  • Restructure departments without orphaning anyone

    Lyro creates a department, renames it or changes its parent, and merges one into another when two teams combine, so the org tree in Workable matches how the company is actually organised.

  • Answer an employee's time off question

    Lyro reads an employee's balances across every leave category, showing available, used, and carried-over units, and checks the work schedule those days are measured against.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Workable actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

  1. 01

    Connect Workable

    Authorize the Workable account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.

  2. 02

    Tell your agent what you need

    Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Workable actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.

  3. 03

    Watch it work

    The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

Everything else about Workable

Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Workable.

  • It depends on the action. Create Employee and Upload Employee Documents require w_employees, List Employees requires r_employees, Get Accounts and Get recruiters require r_jobs, and List Departments requires r_account. Lyro can only do what the scopes on the connected token allow.
