Integration Development Overview

Intended Audience

This site is intended for technical audiences who wish to carry out the work of building an integration between a software system and The Predictive Index® software. 

A non-technical explanation of Integrations can be found here: Integration Overview

Two Categories of Integration

Predictive Index software supports two integration options that can be used to create seamless and powerful processes across the hire-to-retire life cycle:
  1. REST API - An extremely powerful and flexible REST API interface can be used to tightly integrate your PI assessment administration within a separate application or as part of workflow that may be included in your Applicant Tracking System (ATS), Human Capital Management (HCM), Human Resource Information System (HRIS), or other related external system. You can retrieve Assessment Results, Reports, Reference Profile Names and Descriptions, Personal Development Charts, Interview Guides, Pattern Images, and other key results from an external system through the API.  Access to the REST API is included with all PI Software Subscriptions. 
  2. Open Invitation - Functionality that allows you to create standalone web pages that can be linked from any system or process.  Open Invitation links are included with all PI Software Subscriptions.  
Which integration option is right for me?

The key functional difference between the two options above is that the REST API allows more assessment delivery and data retrieval options, while Open Invitation is strictly for initiating assessments.  Below is a breakdown of key functionality:
