# Connect Recooty to Metaintro

Create a Recooty access token so people who choose to share with you arrive as applications on your published Recooty jobs.

Last updated: November 11, 2026[Employers](/help/category/employers)

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or Pi.

## Before you start

Your Recooty plan must include API Access. Without it, Recooty refuses token requests.

To create an access token, your user needs the Tokens permission. If you do not have it, ask a workspace admin to give it to you or to create the token.

You will paste three things into Metaintro: your API base URL, your API key and an access token.

## Create the credential in Recooty

These steps follow Recooty's guide to [the Recooty API](https://help.recooty.com/en/articles/16497351-connect-recooty-to-your-own-systems-with-the-recooty-api).

1. In Recooty, go to **Settings > Integrations > API**.
2. Copy the base URL shown for your account.
3. Copy the API key at the top of the **API Key & Access Tokens** card.
4. Click **Create Token** and create a token for Metaintro.
5. Copy the token now. Recooty shows it only once.

Tokens expire one year after you create them. The expiry date is on the token card.

## Connect in Metaintro

1. In Metaintro, go to **Settings > Integrations**.
2. Choose **Recooty**.
3. In **API base URL**, paste the base URL.
4. In **API key**, paste the API key.
5. In **Access token**, paste the token.
6. Select **Connect**.

Then map your jobs, set your rules, check the preview and go live.

## What Metaintro sends and reads

Metaintro only sends people who chose to share their profile with you for a specific job.

- **Jobs:** Metaintro reads your published Recooty jobs so you can map them.
- **Application:** Metaintro applies the person to the mapped job with their name, email, phone number and résumé.

Recooty's API has no notes and no source field, so the proof card is not sent and the application does not show Metaintro as its source.

Metaintro checks each application in Recooty regularly and reads its stage. Stages named like hired, rejected or withdrawn are read that way. Metaintro does not move applications in Recooty.

## Limits

- Recooty needs an email address, a phone number and a PDF or Word résumé. People without all three cannot be sent.
- Recooty allows one application per email address on each job.
- Only published jobs are listed.
- Your token stops working one year after you create it. Create a new one and reconnect before then.
- If Metaintro has to look up an application it cannot identify after a lost connection, Recooty may count it against your application view credits.
- Metaintro does not use Recooty's webhooks, so changes reach Metaintro on its next check, not right away.

## If something goes wrong

- **The token is rejected:** it may have expired or been revoked. Create a new token and connect again.
- **"Feature not available to your plan":** your plan does not include API Access. Upgrade your Recooty plan.
- **A credit limit was reached:** Recooty has run out of a plan credit. Check your plan's usage in Recooty.
- **A person was not sent:** check that they have a phone number and a PDF or Word résumé, and that they have not already applied to that job.
- **A job is missing or closed:** only published jobs can receive applications.
