Prerequisites

Before getting started, please carefully read the following to make sure you fulfill all requirements for the integration to work:

  • You are an admin of your HiBob instance or an admin shared their access with you. This is necessary for retrieving the API credentials as explained later in this guide

Create a new service user

  1. Log into your HiBob instance (or that of the admin account that was shared with you)

  2. Go to the service user tab of your settings by clicking on the link or following the step 3 and 4

  3. Go to "Settings > Integrations"

  4. In the search bar at the top, type in "Service Users" and click on the card that just appeared

  7. Click "Next"

  8. Now you'll see the credentials of the service user, secure them in a safe as you'll need them later and they can only be viewed once
