7shifts setup
7shifts connects through the unified HRIS connector. This page covers the 7shifts-side configuration you complete first. Once it's done, add the connector in Mesh by following Connect your HR system.
You finish with two values, both from the same place:
| Value | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Company ID | Company Settings → Developer Tools |
| Access token | The same page |
Before you start
- Administrator access to your company's 7shifts instance.
- Permission to use Developer Tools and create an access token.
These steps reflect Axiad's current understanding of 7shifts' configuration. Because 7shifts is a third-party product, there may be variations between your experience and what this guide describes, depending on the version in use and recent updates.
If you find a significant difference, or anything that doesn't make sense, let us know through Axiad support.
Step 1 — Find your company ID
Go to Company Settings → Developer Tools and copy the company ID.
Step 2 — Create an access token
On the same page, under Access Token, select Create Access Token, give it a descriptive name, and copy the token.
Step 3 — Connect in Mesh
Follow Connect your HR system, choose 7shifts in the connection window, and supply the company ID and access token.
After connecting
The connector appears in your connectors list with Health: Initializing while the first collection runs, then moves to Good. Access is read-only: Mesh does not write back to 7shifts.
If it doesn't come online, see Troubleshoot HR connectors.
Troubleshooting
| What you see | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Developer Tools is not available | The account lacks permission to use it | Ask a 7shifts administrator to create the token |
| Authentication fails | The company ID and token are from different accounts | Take both from the same Developer Tools page |
