This lets you read employee profiles, department/team groupings, and manager-report relationships through a standardized schema. ### What if I need access to 15Five data beyond Users and Groups, like OKRs or check-ins? Additional tools and endpoints for 15Five (such as Objectives, High Fives, Pulse scores, and Review Cycles) are built on request. Contact Truto and the team will scope and deliver the integration based on your specific data needs. ### How does authentication work for 15Five integrations through Truto? Truto handles the full auth flow for your end users connecting their 15Five accounts. 15Five uses API key-based authentication, and Truto manages token storage and credential lifecycle so you don't have to build or maintain auth infrastructure. ### Can I reconstruct the full reporting hierarchy from 15Five data? Yes. The 15Five User object includes a manager_id field, which allows you to reconstruct the complete reporting tree. Combined with Group data for departments and teams, you get a full organizational map. ### Does Truto handle pagination and rate limits for the 15Five API? Yes. Truto abstracts away pagination and respects 15Five's rate limits automatically, so you receive complete result sets without writing retry logic or cursor management code. ### How fresh is the data I get through the Unified User Directory API for 15Five? Data is fetched from 15Five's API in real time when you make a request through Truto. There is no intermediate caching layer that would introduce staleness — you get the current state of Users and Groups as 15Five reports it.
