Referoo also has to configure your API settings (see image below) to make the connection with Teamtailor possible.

To find the API key after Referoo completed the set up: login to a Referoo admin account, go to settings > API settings > API key + API secret

The API settings: three parts of the API settings for Teamtailor need to be updated:
1. The Webhook URL you set to: https://0ob5r7qzb6.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/production/results
