15Five

Glean’s 15Five connector allows organizations to integrate data from the 15Five performance management platform into Glean’s search experience. The connector ingests publicly available content from 15Five, including employee recognitions and weekly priorities, and strictly enforces data security and permissions according to the user’s access in 15Five itself. Only data authorized by the connected system and based on 15Five’s provided API is available to users during search.

Supported features

The 15Five connector is designed to bring core collaborative content from 15Five to Glean’s unified search. It makes 15Five’s public recognitions and weekly priorities discoverable, while preserving access controls. The connector indexes public collaborative content available through the 15Five Public API.

Supported objects

Object	Description	Notes
Priorities	Weekly goals tracked in 15Five	Indexed as user documents; visible to self/manager only
High Fives	Public recognitions among employees	Only public “High Fives” and comments supported

Key API endpoints

• Fetches via 15Five Public API:
  • /api/public/priority
  • /api/public/high-five
  • /api/public/group (for membership/permissions)
• Indexes metadata to enforce permissions at search-time

Limitations

• Only public High Fives and public comments are indexed (as permitted by 15Five’s API).
• Private High Fives and private comments are not indexed.
• Only priorities marked as “complete” are surfaced (API limitation).
• No indexing for 15Five “Objectives,” “1-on-1s,” or “Best-Self Review” at this time.
• Multi-instance setup is supported; each requires unique credentials.

Requirements

You need the following before you start:

Technical

• A 15Five instance with admin access to API settings.
• Glean network access to my.15five.com and your 15Five subdomain (for example, yourcompany.15five.com).

Credentials

• A 15Five API access token, created by a 15Five admin.
• Your 15Five subdomain.

Permissions

• The access token must be generated by a user with 15Five admin privileges.
• Permissions must be granted that allow API access to public High Fives and Priorities.
• Admin-level access ensures all needed features and data are accessible and underlying user permissions are respected.

Configuration and setup

You'll do the setup in two places: 15Five to generate credentials and the Admin console (to enter them).

Step 1: Enable the 15Five public API

If your 15Five instance hasn't used the public API yet, follow the 15Five Public API setup guide to enable it.

Step 2: Generate an API token in 15Five

1. Open the 15Five API keys page and create a new key.

important

Leave the High Fives only option unchecked so the connector can read both Priorities and High Fives.

2. Copy the generated token — you'll paste it into Glean in step 4.

Step 3: Find your 15Five subdomain

Open the 15Five SAML configuration page and copy the value from the Subdomain field.

For example, if your 15Five URL is https://yourcompany.15five.com/..., your subdomain is yourcompany.

Step 4: Enter your credentials in Glean

1. In the Glean Admin console, go to Data sources > Add data source and select 15Five.
2. Enter a name.
3. Paste the API token from step 2 into the API token field.
4. Paste the subdomain from step 3 into the 15Five Custom Subdomain field.
5. Click Save.
