Gusto

Connect Gusto to Siit to sync your US workforce — employees and contractors — and use Gusto's lifecycle events to drive onboarding and offboarding workflows.

What you get

• Live People directory — Gusto employees and contractors appear in Siit with role, department, manager, and worker type.

• Lifecycle triggers — Start date, Termination date, and Birthday flow into Siit as workflow triggers.

• Manager resolution — Gusto's reporting structure powers auto‑selected approvers.

• Employee + contractor coverage — both worker types sync, with the type preserved as a Siit attribute.

What syncs from Gusto

Category	Fields
Identity	First name, last name, preferred name, work email, employee ID
Role	Job title, department
Org structure	Manager, work location, company / legal entity
Employment	Worker type (Employee / Contractor), status
Lifecycle dates	Start date, termination date, date of birth

Work email is the canonical identifier. Compensation, payroll, tax, and benefits data are not synced into Siit.

Before you connect

• A Gusto admin account with permission to authorize third‑party apps.

• Work email populated on every active worker. Gusto sometimes leaves this blank for contractors — fill it in first.

Connect Gusto

1. In Siit, go to Settings → Integrations, find Gusto in the HRIS section, and click Connect. You'll be redirected to Gusto.

2. Sign in with your Gusto admin account.

3. Approve the requested read scopes (employees, contractors, departments, locations, jobs).

4. Gusto redirects you back to Siit, which runs an initial import.

Tip — If your Gusto admin policy restricts third‑party app installs, ask your account owner to approve Siit before running the connection flow.

After the connection

• Confirm your People list matches Gusto's active workforce.

• In Settings → People → Fields, set Gusto as the source of truth for HR‑owned fields if you're also connected to an IdP.

• Most Gusto customers start with offboarding automation driven by termination date.

Sync frequency

Gusto data refreshes automatically every few hours. Trigger an immediate refresh from Settings → Integrations → Gusto → Sync now.

Common workflows

Day‑1 onboarding. Trigger: Start date. Actions: create IdP account, assign apps by department, ship equipment if Worker Type = Employee, DM manager.

Offboarding on termination. Trigger: Termination date. Actions: revoke sessions, remove app access, equipment pickup, notify manager.

Contractor onboarding. Trigger: Start date, Condition: Worker Type = Contractor. Actions: create limited IdP account, contractor app bundle only.

Troubleshooting

Workers missing. Only active workers and upcoming hires sync by default. Confirm status and work email in Gusto.

Contractor vs employee mis‑labeled. Open Settings → Integrations → Gusto → Mapping and check Worker Type → Employment Type.

Manager field empty. In Gusto, confirm the worker has a reporting manager set on their profile.

Connection shows "needs reauthorization". OAuth tokens can be revoked or expire. Reconnect from Settings → Integrations → Gusto.
