Fiken

Guide for connecting a Fiken organization to Kogniflow through API.

Use this guide when the organization you want to connect uses Fiken and should synchronize with Kogniflow through API.

Before you start

Confirm the following:

  • The organization will use API synchronization
  • The organization you are connecting uses Fiken
  • The API add-on is enabled for the company in Fiken

Setup flow

1. Open the organization setup in Kogniflow

Go to the organization you want to connect and choose API as the synchronization method.

2. Select Fiken as the provider

When Kogniflow asks for the accounting provider, choose Fiken.

3. Authorize the user with Fiken

When you choose Fiken, you are sent to Fiken to authorize the user through OAuth. In this step you approve that Kogniflow can fetch data from Fiken, and you choose which companies Kogniflow should have access to.

4. Select the company to synchronize

After the Kogniflow app has been approved, choose which company should be synchronized with Kogniflow.

5. Wait for the first data synchronization

Once the company has been selected, the data synchronization starts automatically. This can take a little while depending on how many years of data and how many transactions need to be imported.

When the synchronization is complete, you can continue with control work, follow-up, and analysis in Kogniflow.

Official provider guidance

Use the official Fiken help article to enable API for the company and review how the Fiken API setup works:

Enable and manage the Fiken API

If Fiken is not the right path

If the organization should not be connected through API, use Data Synchronization to review the SAF-T alternative.

Troubleshooting

If you do not see the company after authorizing Kogniflow

If the company does not appear after you approve Kogniflow in Fiken, it is usually caused by one of these:

  • The API add-on is not enabled for the company in Fiken
  • The company has not been added to the list of approved companies for the Kogniflow app

To check this in Fiken:

  1. Open Fiken
  2. Go to Edit account
  3. Open Security
  4. Find Apps you have granted access to
  5. Open the existing Kogniflow app and add the companies that should be available

After the company has been added there, go back to Kogniflow and try the setup again.
