Personio Integration
Integration Summary
Personio is an all-in-one HR software made for businesses and their employees. The platform is a great way to record and analyse people-based data, manage important issues such as compensation and develop company culture, all in one place.
If your company uses Personio, it’s likely that all of your employees will be listed on there. Our integration with Personio allows an automatic sync between platforms – making the setting up and maintenance of user profiles on Learn Amp a seamless experience.
This integration is in Beta and utilises a third party connector, ‘Kombo’, who act as a sub-processor.
Main Features
Syncing users is seamless and efficient, eliminating any need for manual work.
All of your company’s employees that are in Personio are automatically synced into Learn Amp.
In the future, when new users are added into your company’s Personio system, they’ll automatically be added into Learn Amp too.
Standard fields such as an employee’s name, job title, and team are also pulled into Learn Amp.
If an employee’s details (such as job title or team) change in Personio, these changes will be automatically reflected in Learn Amp too.
You can choose when to invite users from your Personio system into Learn Amp, so there’s no rush or need to do so immediately.
When a user is deactivated in Personio, they are deactivated in Learn Amp

Syncing Additional Information
Yes, It is possible to sync additional or different data points from Personio in to Learn Amp.
Please Note: These requests will be handled by your Implementation or Customer Success Coach and will require custom development work to be undertaken by our technical team. The time taken to complete this work is chargeable or can be deducted from your support hours budget at Learn Amp’s discretion.
Known Limitations/ Considerations
Team Managers: The Integration does not have the ability sync Team/Department managers in to Learn Amp.
Team managers can be configured within Learn Amp. Your Implementation Coach can provide further details on this.
Team Hierarchy: Learn Amp will create a team for each of the individual departments that are stored in your Personio account. These will be presented as a flat structure in your Learn Amp account and will not consider any parent/child relationships between your departments.
However, once you have completed your initial sync, you will be able to easily create parent/child relationships with your teams in Learn Amp which will be saved moving forward. Your Implementation Coach can provide further details on this.
How the Platforms Connect
By following the (Kombo powered) workflow you will be able to connect the two platforms. When triggered, Personio will automatically sync any new or updated user information to Learn amp
Permissions/Scopes Required
For our integration with Personio to work effectively, we ask you grant permissions to the required scopes
Required Stakeholders
To set up our Integration with Personio, you will need somebody with administrator level access to your Personio account. This person will also need administrator level access to your Learn Amp Live account for the period of time in which the Integration is being set up.
Set up Instructions
A user with administrator level access will be invited to connect to Personio using a integration connector flow. Once the account is connected, the integration will use this user's permissions to authenticate and fetch data from Personio.
Once enabled on your platform, Personio integration can be configured from Company Settings > Integrations > Personio by a system admin.

What data scopes are asked for and why?
Various fields are fetched from the integration, with some enabled by default (mandatory for the integration to work) and others optional (enhanced functionality by enabling).
As we are in Beta, we will gather more data points than we currently need as we look to add more functionality associated to those scopes. This will be limited to ‘expected' functionality e.g. Location mapping into a location field.
