Capabilities
Capability | What Viio pulls from HiBob |
✅ Users | Full name, corporate email, job title, employment status, start & termination dates |
✅ Usage | Department, location, manager hierarchy, cost-centre |
Prerequisites
You must be a HiBob admin (or have permission to create Service users). apidocs.hibob.com
Create a Service user and place it in a permission group that grants at least the Default Employee Fields (root, about, employment, work). apidocs.hibob.com
Make sure you can copy the Service user ID and Token—you’ll paste both in Viio.
Setup
Go to Viio → Integrations and choose HiBob.
In HiBob, generate a Service user:
Navigate to Settings → Integrations → Service users.
Click Create service user, then copy the User ID and Token.
Add the user to, or create, a permission group with view access to the Default Employee Fields. apidocs.hibob.com
Back in Viio, press Connect HiBob, paste the User ID and Token, then click Save.
Viio kicks off the first sync—it usually finishes within 15 minutes. You’ll see the status turn to Healthy when done.
Need to disconnect?
Open Installed apps → HiBob → Remove in Viio, then delete or revoke the Service user in HiBob if you no longer need the token.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Symptom | Quick fix |
“Invalid credentials” when connecting | The Service user’s token was regenerated or revoked. Copy the new token and update the integration. |
