List Absence Types

Return the v2 absence types configured for the company, including IDs, names, categories, and units.

List Attendance Periods

Return v2 attendance periods filtered by people, projects, status, attribution dates, time bounds, or update time.

List Document Categories

Return the legacy Personnel Data document categories and IDs used to classify or filter company documents.

List Documents

Return v2 document metadata for one owner, optionally filtered by category and creation date; this does not download document contents.

List Employee Attributes

Return the standard and custom employee attributes readable by the connected integration, including the keys accepted by list employee records.

List Employee Records

Return legacy Personnel Data employee records with selectable standard or custom attributes and incremental-update filtering; use List Persons for ordinary v2 identity lookup.

Return employment records for one v2 person, including status, type, and working-hours details.

List Persons

Return current v2 person summaries, optionally filtered by identity, status, or creation and update times; use employee records instead when custom Personnel Data attributes are needed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes, Personio requires you to configure your own S2S Oauth2 credentials. Once set up, Composio handles token storage, refresh, and lifecycle management for you.

Yes! Composio's Tool Router enables agents to use multiple toolkits. Learn more.

Yes. Composio is SOC 2 Type II compliant and is built to keep your Personio connection and credentials secure. OAuth tokens and API keys are encrypted, and sensitive customer data is protected at rest and in transit.

Composio also undergoes independent security testing and continuously monitors its systems for security threats. You can review the latest reports and policies in the Composio Trust Center.

Composio maintains and updates all toolkit integrations automatically, so your agents always work with the latest API versions.

When you connect a Personio account through Composio, every action runs under that account, so anything the agent creates, sends, or changes shows up in Personio as done by you. Keep an approval step in your prompt for actions with side effects, such as sending or deleting, and have the agent draft first.

Whatever the credentials you connect allow inside Personio. If Personio lets you scope a key to specific permissions, create a scoped one so the agent can only do what you intend. You can revoke the key inside Personio at any time.

Yes. Composio supports multiple connected accounts for the same app, and that works in Claude, ChatGPT, or any other assistant you connect through Composio. Give each Personio connection a name such as work or personal, and the assistant uses the one you mention in the request. Each account keeps its own credentials and nothing is merged.

Composio's free plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month with no credit card, which covers most personal Personio use. Paid plans add higher limits and team features. Your Personio plan and its API limits still apply as usual.

Built-in connectors usually give one AI access to a limited set of apps. Many people use Composio because it lets their AI connect to more apps than it normally supports, or connect to multiple accounts for the same app (e.g. connect Claude to multiple Personio accounts).

With Composio, you connect Personio once and then use it across different AI assistants without setting it up separately in each one. Connect your apps to Composio once, then connect Composio to whichever AI you use, whether that's Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes, or your own custom assistant.
