# Sandbox Integrations

> Learn how to access tools you can connect to Kombo for development purposes.

If you wish to get started as quickly as possible, use our built-in **Sandbox Integration (HRIS/ATS/LMS)**.
You can find it in the **"Integrations"** section in the Kombo dashboard. The sandbox integration
is only available in your [development environment](../guides/environments#development).

### What the sandbox covers

The sandbox requires **no credentials** and can be set up in minutes. It
provides a representative dataset that covers common edge cases you'll encounter
in production — including active, terminated, and pending employees, multiple
currencies, and various bank account formats.

**Read data** — the sandbox includes data for all major models:

* **HRIS**: Employees, employments, groups, locations, legal entities, absences,
  absence types, time-off balances, timesheets, performance reviews
* **ATS**: Candidates, applications, jobs, job posts, stages, offers,
  interviews, rejection reasons, users
* **LMS**: Users, courses, skills, providers, progress records

**Write actions** — all major write operations work against the sandbox:

* **HRIS**: Create employees, create/delete absences
* **ATS**: Create candidates (with applications), move applications to stages,
  add attachments, add/remove tags, add notes
* **LMS**: Enroll users, mark completions, create and manage courses

The sandbox dataset is **deterministic** — syncs always return the same base
data, making it well-suited for automated testing with stable assertions.
Records created through write actions persist in Kombo's database and appear in
subsequent API calls, but don't modify the base dataset.

### Third-party sandboxes

Some tools also offer free demo accounts that you can use to test out Kombo.

We recommend the following tools, as they provide great coverage and are broadly used:

* When testing HRIS integrations, we recommend using [Personio](https://www.personio.com/free-trial/).
* When testing ATS integrations, we recommend using [Recruitee](https://auth.recruitee.com/sign-up). If you want to gain access to a sandbox instead of using the free trial, please fill out [this form](https://www.tellent.com/technology-partner-application). In the section “Please describe the use case for this integration on a high-level”, mention “Referred by Kombo”.

Additionally, here are some more tools that offer free trials or test accounts: [BambooHR (HRIS)](https://www.bamboohr.com/signup/), [Sage HR (HRIS/ATS)](https://sage.hr/register), [Deel (HRIS)](https://app.deel.com/signup), [CharlieHR (HRIS)](https://www.charliehr.com/join), [Planday (HRIS)](https://www.planday.com/signup/), [Factorial (HRIS)](https://factorialhr.com/get-started), [Humaans (HRIS)](https://app.humaans.io/signup), [BreezyHR (ATS)](https://breezy.hr/signup), [Jazzhr (ATS)](https://info.jazzhr.com/free-trial.html), [Join (ATS)](https://join.com/auth/signup/recruiter), [Teamtailor (ATS)](https://tt.teamtailor.com/users/new?locale=en), [Workable (ATS)](https://www.workable.com/free-trial)

### Enterprise tools

Enterprise tools like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or SmartRecruiters usually
don't offer free sandbox access. However, for customers on the enterprise plan,
we offer joint testing sessions with these enterprise tools.
