General
What happens if I start the Personio integration setup but don't finish it?
What happens if I start the Personio integration setup but don't finish it?
If you close the setup flow after connecting to Personio but before the final confirmation, the integration will have a status of "pending confirmation" on the integrations page. You will need to complete the setup to begin syncing data.
What's the difference between a "daily sync" and a "full sync"?
What's the difference between a "daily sync" and a "full sync"?
Daily Syncs are designed for efficiency and only sync new changes from Personio. If you manually edit an employee in Planday, the daily sync might not correct it immediately because no new change was reported from Personio for that employee.
Full Syncs (which happen when you click "Sync Now" or when a new change is made in Personio for that employee) compare all data.
Does data flow from Planday to Personio?
Does data flow from Planday to Personio?
One-Way Data Sync: Data flows only from Personio to Planday. Any manual changes made to synced fields (like an employee's name) in Planday will be overwritten.
Employee import from Personio to Planday
What happens when an employee is deactivated in Personio?
What happens when an employee is deactivated in Personio?
The employee will be deactivated in Planday on their termination date. However, any existing shifts assigned to that employee will not be deleted and will not be changed to open shifts either. It is the manager's responsibility to handle or reassign those shifts.
See below what it looks like when an employee has been deactivated:
Why doesn't an employee's email address update in Planday when I change it in Personio?
Why doesn't an employee's email address update in Planday when I change it in Personio?
The email address in Planday functions as the employee's username for login. To prevent the employee from being locked out because they are unaware of a username change, the email/username must be updated directly within Planday instead of being synced from Personio.
Can I edit an employee's synced information (e.g., their name) in Planday?
Can I edit an employee's synced information (e.g., their name) in Planday?
No, Personio is the single source of truth, and any manual changes made in Planday will be overwritten by the data from Personio during the full sync. All changes to employee data should be made in Personio.
I deactivated an employee in Planday by accident, shouldnāt it be reactivated automatically when this employee is still active in Personio?
I deactivated an employee in Planday by accident, shouldnāt it be reactivated automatically when this employee is still active in Personio?
In this case no changes have been made in Personio, therefore Planday does not get any signal to reactivate the user. You will have to manually reactivate the user in Planday instead. If on the other hand you deactivate and then reactivate the employee in Personio, this would be reflected in Planday because changes have been made in Personio. You can click sync now to initiate a full sync.
Why is my salary information from Personio not syncing to Planday?
Why is my salary information from Personio not syncing to Planday?
This can happen if the currency settings in your Personio and Planday accounts do not match.
The integration does not synchronize different currencies or calculate exchange rates. For example, if your Personio currency is set to EUR and your Planday portal is set to DKK, the salary data will not be imported. To ensure salary data syncs correctly, you must set the currency in Personio to be identical to the currency used in your Planday portal.
Why are my employees not being imported from Personio to Planday?
Why are my employees not being imported from Personio to Planday?
This could be because you have required fields activated in Planday, which we donāt map. For instance if you made the t-shirt size employee field required in Planday - but this data is not available or part of the data transferred from Personio, the system doesnāt allow us to create the employee and the transfer fails. To fix this, double check that you donāt have any required fields which canāt be populated through the integration.
Why are only some of my employees being imported from Personio to Planday?
Why are only some of my employees being imported from Personio to Planday?
The gender field needs to be completely archived, if you want to avoid some employees not being imported due to missing gender or cases where the gender is not either male or female in Personio. This is because the gender field is required by default in Planday and Planday only currently supports male and female genders.
When updating the employee group for an employee in Personio, the employee is not removed from the old employee group in Planday - why is that?
When updating the employee group for an employee in Personio, the employee is not removed from the old employee group in Planday - why is that?
The integration does not delete data, that means that if you want to remove an employee from an employee group in Planday, this will have to be done manually. The only thing the integration does is add the employee to the new employee group.
Is there a visual indicator in Planday for synched employees from Personio?
Is there a visual indicator in Planday for synched employees from Personio?
It is currently not possible to see whether an employee's profile is managed by the Personio integration or whether it was created manually in Planday.
Absence data import from Personio to Planday
How does absence show up in the schedule?
How does absence show up in the schedule?
Visual leave indicators: Approved absences from Personio are shown on the schedule as a leave bar (green bar) so managers can quickly see when an employee is unavailable.
Existing shifts are left as is: If an employee already has a shift in Planday on a day where Personio reports approved leave, that shift is not automatically converted to an Open Shift but left as is by default. In the future this may be added as a setting but until that time the least intrusive option is to not make any automatic updates to a shift.
Approved leave only: Only approved absences from Personio are synced into Planday; draft/pending requests are ignored.
How are partial leave days handled?
How are partial leave days handled?
A note will be added to the leave in Planday clarifying that the employee is off for only part of the day.
