Integration

Gusto integration: the people, teams, and managers of Gusto in OrgOrg

The Gusto integration brings the people, the teams, and the manager of each person from Gusto into OrgOrg. Profiles, the org chart, and the groups by rule stay current with payroll. Connect it once from Settings, choose the fields to sync, and new hires appear as Gusto adds them.

What connects

  • People: each employee in Gusto gets a profile in OrgOrg, with the fields you choose to sync.
  • Managers: the manager of each person in Gusto draws the reporting line in the org chart.
  • Teams: the departments of Gusto become groups in OrgOrg, and a roster rule can read them.
  • Changes: a hire, a title change, or a departure in Gusto reaches OrgOrg without a second entry.

The apps that use it

How to set it up

  1. Open the Gusto tile. In OrgOrg, go to Settings, then Connectors, and click Connect on the Gusto tile to connect an existing Gusto account.
  2. Authorize in Gusto. Enter your Gusto credentials and click Authorize. Gusto sends you back to OrgOrg.
  3. Choose the fields. OrgOrg shows the list of fields it can sync. Choose the ones you want on the profiles, and the first sync runs.
  4. Map the people. A person who exists in both tools is matched by email. Review the mapping once, and later changes follow it.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Gusto integration sync?
The people of Gusto, the fields you choose for their profiles, the manager of each person for the org chart, and the departments as groups. A change in Gusto reaches OrgOrg; you choose which fields OrgOrg takes from Gusto.
Does OrgOrg see payroll or pay data?
No. The integration reads the employee records that profiles and the org chart need: names, emails, titles, departments, and managers. Pay, taxes, and bank details stay in Gusto.
What happens when someone leaves in Gusto?
The next sync marks the person as departed in OrgOrg, which removes them from the org chart, the rosters, and the groups that read the directory.
How do I disconnect Gusto?
From the same tile in Settings, then Connectors. The profiles stay as they are on the day of the disconnect; nothing is deleted, and nothing syncs after it.
