Howamigoing

In this article, you will learn how to integrate Howamigoing in Personio. You will get an overview of all the requirements, and instructions for installing the integration with the Personio employee data API.

With the Essential Plan, you can only use the chargeable DATEV integration. From the Professional Plan onwards, you have Recruiting API Access and can use an unlimited number of integrations of your choice. If you need Personal Data API Access, this is available with the Enterprise Plan.

What is Howamigoing?

Howamigoing is a beautifully designed employee feedback platform. It helps People Leaders enhance their feedback culture so that employees do better work, are more motivated, and stay longer. There are four products that work together to achieve this:

• Good vibes uses public praise to boost morale and reinforce positive behavior, because when people feel unappreciated their motivation decreases, and they become less engaged.
• Ask me anything makes it safe for people to ask questions or surface concerns, because when people don’t speak up, leadership are at risk of having operational and legal blind spots.
• Private feedback allows anyone to gather feedback at any time e.g. after a project or presentation, or for a quick pulse survey, because people don’t want to wait 6 or 12 months to know where they stand.
• 360 feedback enables everyone to know where they stand with their team - and for you to know who’s doing a good job for whom - because without peer feedback teamwork suffers and minor things turn into major issues.
• Sentiment analysis gives you rich data from open-ended questions with the brevity of a multi-choice response. Free text comments are the most helpful form of feedback, however, it's time-consuming to read and make sense of tens or hundreds or thousands of written responses.

How can I set up the integration of Howamigoing and Personio?

You need to generate new API credentials for this integration in Personio at Settings > API credentials. In most cases, when selecting an integration in the drop-down menu, the system automatically preselects the system attributes that need to be read or written by the integration. You can always add or remove attributes manually if they are needed, or you wish to do so. For more information on how to do this, have a look at our help center article on how to generate and manage API credentials.

Only Personio employees with an Active, Inactive or Leave status will be transferred to Howamigoing, and only those with a valid email address.
