How to Enable the Humaans Integration with Zinc
## Before you begin
- This integration is available on Growth and Enterprise plans.
- You need admin access in Humaans to configure integrations.
- You need access to the company settings section in your Zinc account to generate an API key.
- This integration does not send data from Humaans to Zinc. It imports background check reports from Zinc to Humaans.
- Reports sync automatically on an hourly basis for employees who were hired or added to Humaans within the last month.
## Generating an API key in Zinc
To connect the integration, you first need an API key from Zinc. To retrieve this, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your [Zinc account](https://app.zincwork.com/sign-in).
2. Visit [company settings](https://app.zincwork.com/company/general).
3. Scroll down to HRIS integrations, click **Humaans**.
4. Click **Generate API key**.
5. Copy the API key - you’ll need this in later steps.
## Enabling the Zinc integration in Humaans
Once you’ve copied the API key, you’ll need to paste it in Humaans.
1. In Humaans, click **Integrations**.
2. Click the Security & IT tab, or scroll to find Zinc.
3. Click **Configure**.
4. Paste your Zinc API key into the API key field.
5. Click **Save**.
Once saved, Humaans will confirm the integration is linked. You can return to view the connection status, update the API key, or disconnect the integration.
## How the sync works
Once the integration is active, Humaans checks Zinc every hour for completed background check reports.
- The integration looks for employees with a status of active or new hire who were hired or added within the last month.
- It matches employees by their personal email address, so ensure this is consistent between Humaans and Zinc.
- Only reports with a status of "all-clear" or "reviewed" in Zinc are imported.
- Each report is saved as a PDF document on the employee's Humaans profile within the Zinc Background Checks document type.
- A report is only imported once to avoid duplicates being created.
## Disconnecting the Zinc integration
If you need to remove the connection:
1. In Humaans, click **Integrations**.
2. Click the Security & IT tab or scroll to find Zinc.
3. Click **Configure**.
4. Click **Disconnect**.
Previously imported reports remain on employee profiles after disconnecting.
## Viewing the background check report
To view the background check in Humaans, open the Documents section of the user’s profile, and click **View**, the report will open in a new tab.
