Personio Overview#

The Personio API provides programmatic access to HR management functions, allowing you to manage employee data, time tracking, payroll, and recruitment processes. With Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create automations and workflows that can streamline HR operations, react to events in Personio in real-time, and connect HR data to other systems seamlessly.

Trigger Authentication#

Personio uses OAuth authentication.

Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Personio API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
