Ways to connect

A company admin connects Personio from the Integrations page in Everdeck. Keys, tokens and secrets are encrypted before they're stored, and the connection's Test button checks it works before any agent uses it.

Every way in uses an app you create with Personio, so access stays under your control. The setup guide walks you through it.

  • API credentials (client ID and secret) Your OAuth app

    Create an app of your own with Personio and paste its credentials into Everdeck. The connection then works without anyone signing in.

What agents can do with Personio

An agent can only use the actions its charter grants. Each action has a risk tier, and the tier decides whether it runs on its own, asks first or always asks a person.

Runs on its own 11

Looking things up, writing to Everdeck's own records and changes one step can undo. Once an agent's charter grants one of these, it runs without asking, unless you set it to Ask first in the charter or one of your approval rules covers it.

  • List or find people Tier 0 · Read Outside content

    List people (employees) with name, email, status (ACTIVE covers active, on leave and onboarding) and custom attributes the credential may read. Filter by exact email or name, status, or recent changes. Use list_employments for position, department and supervisor.

  • Read a person Tier 0 · Read Outside content

    Read one person by id with name, email, gender, language, status and readable custom attributes.

  • Read a person's employment Tier 0 · Read Outside content

    List a person's employments, most recent first: position title, status (ACTIVE, ONBOARDING, LEAVE, INACTIVE), start, probation and end dates, weekly hours, supervisor, office, department and team, legal entity and any termination.

  • Add a new hire Tier 2 · Reversible Outside content

    Create a person with their employment, for example a new hire in onboarding. The email must not belong to anyone else. Department and team ids come from list_org_units; the supervisor is a person id.

  • Update a person's name or language Tier 2 · Reversible Outside content

    Change a person's first, last or preferred name, language or custom attributes. Email is not changed here because it is the person's Personio login.

  • Change position, supervisor or department Tier 2 · Reversible Outside content

    Update an employment's position title, supervisor, office, or department and team. org_units lists all the org units the employment should have, so include the ones it keeps. Status, legal entity, hours and cost centers are not changed here.

  • List departments or teams Tier 0 · Read Outside content

    List departments or teams with their ids, names and parent org units.

  • List absence types Tier 0 · Read Outside content

    List the company's absence types (vacation, sick leave and so on) with id, category and unit (DAY or HOUR).

  • List absences Tier 0 · Read Outside content

    List absence periods with person, absence type, start and end (local time in timezone_id, with FIRST_HALF or SECOND_HALF for half days), comment and approval status (PENDING, APPROVED, DELETION_PENDING, SUBSTITUTE_REQUESTED). Date filters match absences overlapping the range, so starts_before = day end and ends_after = day start answers who is out that day.

  • Request an absence for a person Tier 2 · Reversible

    Record an absence request for a person. It goes through the absence type's normal approval (the approver is notified). For day-based types use midnight local time: a full absence from Oct 12 to Oct 14 is starts_from 2026-10-12T00:00:00 FIRST_HALF and ends_at 2026-10-14T00:00:00 SECOND_HALF. Hour-based types under 24 hours use exact times.

  • List job applications Tier 0 · Read Outside content

    List recruiting applications, newest updated first, with candidate name and email, job, current stage (new, screening, interviews, offer, hired, rejected and so on), channel and hiring team. Custom attributes and tags are not returned.

Actions marked Outside content return what people outside your company may have written, such as emails or comments. Agents treat it as information to check, never as instructions.

What can start work

Nothing in Personio starts agent work by itself. Agents use it while they work on tasks from the board, from other agents or from the sources on the Intake page.

Work an agent can take on

Examples for apps in HR & recruiting. What an agent does with Personio depends on the actions you grant it.

  • List who is out this week, and what time off is waiting for a decision.
  • Prepare a new hire's record from their details for a person to check.
