Capabilities

The Gusto connector syncs the following resources: Notes:
  • Company Admin is modeled as an entitlement on the Company resource. Granting adds a company admin; Gusto exposes no API to revoke an admin, so admin removal must be done in the Gusto UI.
  • Delete employee succeeds only for employees who have not yet completed onboarding. Already-onboarded employees must be deprovisioned manually in the Gusto UI.
  • Single company per credential. Each Gusto OAuth credential is bound to exactly one Gusto company.
  • Production vs. demo environment. By default the connector targets Gusto production using ConductorOne’s managed OAuth app. To connect to Gusto’s demo environment (https://api.gusto-demo.com), choose Custom App (Demo Environment) during setup and provide your own Gusto developer app’s Client ID and Client Secret — Gusto requires a developer-owned app for the demo environment.

Gather Gusto credentials

To configure the Gusto connector, you need administrator permissions in the Gusto company you are connecting. The connector authenticates via OAuth brokered by C1 — you do not need to create or manage an API key.
1
Confirm you can sign in to the Gusto company as an admin. You will authorize C1’s access during connector setup.

Configure the Gusto connector

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.
1
In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.
2
Search for Gusto and click Add.
3
Choose where to add the connector: Create a new app, or Add to an existing app (then select the app).If you’re creating a new app, choose whether to link it to an application discovered from your identity provider: select Yes and pick the IdP application, or No to continue with just the connector.
4
Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.
5
Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.
6
Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.
7
Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.
8
Choose the authentication method:
  • OAuth Authentication (default) — connect to Gusto production using ConductorOne’s managed OAuth app. No credentials to enter.
  • Custom App (Demo Environment) — connect to Gusto’s demo environment. Enter your own Gusto developer app’s Client ID and Client Secret (both required for this option).
9
Click Authorize and complete the Gusto OAuth consent flow while signed in as a Gusto admin. C1 negotiates and stores the OAuth tokens for you — there is no API key to enter.
10
Click Save.
11
The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.
Done. Your Gusto connector is now pulling access data into C1.

All versions of this connector are available at dist.conductorone.com.
