The Pinpoint integration lets recruiters send hired candidates from Pinpoint straight to Cintra People, ready for HR to set them up as new employees. To set it up, you generate an Integration Key in Cintra People, and then a Pinpoint administrator enters it in Pinpoint.

### Before you start

To set up the integration, as well as an HR admin account, you also need a Pinpoint admin account to complete the Pinpoint part of the setup.

In the Pinpoint marketplace, you must first search for and add the app called **Cintra People**.

### Generate an integration key in Cintra People

1. Go to **System Config** > **System Integrations**.

1. Under **ATS**, click **Pinpoint**.
2. Click **Get Started**.
3. Click the clipboard icon next to the **Integration Key** to copy it.
4. Before you can complete the setup, you must then perform some actions in Pinpoint.

### Connect Cintra People in Pinpoint

1. In Pinpoint, go to **Settings** > **Integrations**.
2. On the **Apps** tab, search for **Cintra People**, and then click **Add**.
3. Cintra People now appears on the **My Plugins** tab with the status **Enabled**.

1. Once added, select the Cintra People app to open the **Configure** screen.
2. In the **Cintra People API Key** field, paste the Integration Key you copied from Cintra People.
3. Click **Save**.

Recruiters can now send candidates to Cintra People. For more information, see [Adding new starters from Pinpoint](/docs/adding-new-starters-from-pinpoint).

### Disconnect the integration

To stop candidates being sent from Pinpoint, go to **System Config** > **System Integrations**, click **Pinpoint**, and then click **Disconnect**. This will not affect any candidates already added to the **Import from ATS tab** in Cintra People.
