Use this guide when the organization you want to connect uses Unimicro and should synchronize with Kogniflow through API.
New to Kogniflow?
The Unimicro connection is started from Kogniflow. If this is your first time using Kogniflow, begin with Getting Started. It explains how to create the organization in Kogniflow, choose API synchronization, and prepare for the first data import.
Return to this guide when you are ready to select Unimicro as the accounting provider.
Before you start
Confirm the following:
- The organization will use API synchronization
- The organization you are connecting uses Unimicro
- You are an administrator in Unimicro for the company you want to connect
- You are allowed to authorize Kogniflow to access that company
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 Unimicro as the provider
When Kogniflow asks for the accounting provider, choose Unimicro.
3. Sign in to Unimicro
Kogniflow sends you to Unimicro. Sign in with a user who has access to the company you want to connect. If you are already signed in, Unimicro takes you directly to the activation page.
4. Select and activate the company
On the Activate - Kogniflow page (shown as Aktiver - Kogniflow in Norwegian):
- Find and select the correct company.
- Click Activate (Aktiver).
- If this is the first activation, review the data-sharing message, accept the terms, and click Activate again.
The company status changes to Activated (Aktivert) when the activation is complete.
5. Continue to Kogniflow
In the Continue to Kogniflow (Gå videre til Kogniflow) dialog, click Continue (Fortsett). Unimicro redirects you to Kogniflow to finish the connection.
6. Wait for the first data synchronization
Once the company has been connected, the first 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.
Connecting an activated company again
If you previously connected the company, Kogniflow may still appear as Activated in Unimicro even after the provider has been removed in Kogniflow.
Start the connection from Kogniflow again. In Unimicro, select the already activated company or open the Kogniflow integration again to continue. You are then redirected back to Kogniflow without having to approve the activation again.
Disconnecting and deactivating the integration
Removing the Unimicro provider in Kogniflow and deactivating the integration in Unimicro are separate actions.
To remove the connection completely:
- Remove the Unimicro provider in Kogniflow.
- In Unimicro, go to Marketplace → Product purchases (Markedsplass → Produktkjøp).
- Open the Integrations (Integrasjoner) tab.
- Find Kogniflow and click Deactivate (Deaktiver).
Official provider guidance
Use Unimicro’s help article for user guidance about activating integrations, required administrator access, and how authorization works between an external service and Unimicro:
If Unimicro is not the right path
If the organization uses another accounting system or should not be connected through API, use Data Synchronization to review the available providers and the SAF-T alternative.
Troubleshooting
If the company does not appear
Verify that the Unimicro user is an administrator for the company and that you selected the correct company during activation. If the company is still missing, return to Kogniflow and start the Unimicro connection again.
If authorization is cancelled or fails
No synchronization starts until activation is completed. Return to Kogniflow, select Unimicro again, and complete the sign-in, company selection, and activation flow without closing the Unimicro page.
If the wrong company was selected
Remove the Unimicro provider in Kogniflow and start the connection again. Select the correct company on the Activate - Kogniflow page and confirm the company shown in Kogniflow before synchronization continues.
If reconnection fails
Confirm that your Unimicro user still has access to the company. If Kogniflow is already shown as Activated, select the activated company or open the integration again, then click Continue when prompted. If the problem continues, contact Kogniflow support and include the organization name and the step where the connection stopped. Do not send passwords or other credentials.
