# Creating an API access for CharlieHR

## Introduction

CharlieHR is an easy-to-use people platform for small businesses. 
It's one of the connectors available on our [HRIS API](https://developers.apideck.com/apis/hris/reference). 

This guide will walk you through the steps to create an API access for your CharlieHR integration:
  - [Login to your admin account](#login-to-your-admin-account)
  - [Obtain your API credentials](#obtain-your-api-credentials)
  - [Configure your Unify connection](#configure-your-unify-connection)

## Login to your admin account

After registering with CharlieHR, you will be able to log in with your admin account from this [site](https://www.charliehr.com/login).

**💡 TIP**: Copy the "Client ID" and the "Client secret". You will need them in one of the next steps.

## Configure your Unify connection

In Vault, you can configure your account by adding you Client ID and Client secret received in the previous step [step](#obtain-your-client-credentials) of this guide.

Save the settings and authorize the connector.
