 - **List and view jobs**: Browse all open, closed, and archived job postings with location and department info
 - **List applications**: View all applications across your organization with candidate and job details, status tracking, and pagination
 
+The Ashby block also supports **webhook triggers** that automatically start workflows in response to Ashby events. Available triggers include Application Submitted, Candidate Stage Change, Candidate Hired, Candidate Deleted, Job Created, Offer Created, and a Generic Webhook for all events. Webhooks are fully managed — Sim automatically creates the webhook in Ashby when you save the trigger and deletes it when you remove it, so there's no manual webhook configuration needed. Just provide your Ashby API key (with `apiKeysWrite` permission) and select the event type.
+
 In Sim, the Ashby integration enables your agents to programmatically manage your recruiting pipeline. Agents can search for candidates, create new candidate records, add notes after interviews, and monitor applications across jobs. This allows you to automate recruiting workflows like candidate intake, interview follow-ups, pipeline reporting, and cross-referencing candidates across roles.

+[Evernote](https://evernote.com/) is a note-taking and organization platform that helps individuals and teams capture ideas, manage projects, and store information across devices. With notebooks, tags, and powerful search, Evernote serves as a central hub for knowledge management.
+
+With the Sim Evernote integration, you can:
+
+- **Create and update notes**: Programmatically create new notes with content and tags, or update existing notes in any notebook.
+- **Search and retrieve notes**: Use Evernote's search grammar to find notes by keyword, tag, notebook, or other criteria, and retrieve full note content.
+- **Organize with notebooks and tags**: Create notebooks and tags, list existing ones, and move or copy notes between notebooks.
+- **Delete and manage notes**: Move notes to trash or copy them to different notebooks as part of automated workflows.
+
+**How it works in Sim:**
+Add an Evernote block to your workflow and select an operation (e.g., create note, search notes, list notebooks). Provide your Evernote developer token and any required parameters. The block calls the Evernote API and returns structured data you can pass to downstream blocks — for example, searching for meeting notes and sending summaries to Slack, or creating notes from AI-generated content.
+{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-END */}

+
 ## Usage Instructions
 
 Integrate with Evernote to manage notes, notebooks, and tags. Create, read, update, copy, search, and delete notes. Create and list notebooks and tags.

+[Fathom](https://fathom.video/) is an AI meeting assistant that automatically records, transcribes, and summarizes your video calls. It works across platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, generating highlights and action items so your team can stay focused during meetings and catch up quickly afterward.
+
+With the Sim Fathom integration, you can:
+
+- **List and filter meetings**: Retrieve recent meetings recorded by you or shared with your team, with optional filters by date range, recorder, or team.
+- **Get meeting summaries**: Pull structured, markdown-formatted summaries for any recorded meeting to quickly review key discussion points.
+- **Access full transcripts**: Retrieve complete transcripts with speaker attribution and timestamps for detailed review or downstream processing.
+- **Manage teams and members**: List teams in your Fathom organization and view team member details to coordinate meeting workflows.
+
+**How it works in Sim:**
+Add a Fathom block to your workflow and select an operation. Provide your Fathom API key and any required parameters (such as a recording ID for summaries and transcripts). The block calls the Fathom API and returns structured data you can pass to downstream blocks — for example, sending a summary to Slack or extracting action items with an AI agent.
+{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-END */}

 ## Usage Instructions
 
 Integrate Fathom AI Notetaker into your workflow. List meetings, get transcripts and summaries, and manage team members and teams. Can also trigger workflows when new meeting content is ready.

+[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) is a powerful knowledge base and note-taking application that works on top of a local folder of plain-text Markdown files. With features like bidirectional linking, graph views, and a rich plugin ecosystem, Obsidian is widely used for personal knowledge management, research, and documentation.
+
+With the Sim Obsidian integration, you can:
+
+- **Read and create notes**: Retrieve note content from your vault or create new notes programmatically as part of automated workflows.
+- **Update and patch notes**: Modify existing notes in full or patch content at specific locations within a note.
+- **Search your vault**: Find notes by keyword or content across your entire Obsidian vault.
+- **Manage periodic notes**: Access and create daily or other periodic notes for journaling and task tracking.
+- **Execute commands**: Trigger Obsidian commands remotely to automate vault operations.
+
+**How it works in Sim:**
+Add an Obsidian block to your workflow and select an operation. This integration requires the [Obsidian Local REST API](https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-local-rest-api) plugin to be installed and running in your vault. Provide your API key and vault URL, along with any required parameters. The block communicates with your local Obsidian instance and returns structured data you can pass to downstream blocks — for example, searching your vault for research notes and feeding them into an AI agent for summarization.
