2. Click on the Generate new credential button.

3. Define the scope of access by marking the Employee read scope to be included, and select all employee readable attributes.

4. Navigate back to the Finch Connect modal. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret into the Finch connection screen. For the Personio subdomain, use the part of your Personio login URL before the domain — for example, if you log in at your-company.app.personio.com, enter your-company.

5. Check 'I've read and completed the instructions' and click Connect.
