Connector Description
Dedicated OAuth2 adapter for pulling employee records, scoped to a single Company ID.
01 / 04 Overview

One adapter, scoped to your Company ID.

Most HCM systems onboard as a generic REST config — base URL, endpoint path, API key. Paychex Flex gets its own dedicated adapter instead, because its OAuth2 flow and per-company scoping don't fit that generic shape.

◫

Employee records

Pulls worker identity and employment data straight from Paychex Flex.

◐

OAuth2 flow

Client ID and Secret exchanged for a token on every extract — no static API key to rotate by hand.

◧

Company-scoped

Every lookup is scoped to a single Company ID, so a client's data never crosses into another's.

02 / 04 Configuration

Four fields, scoped to one company.

The config form asks for exactly what Paychex Flex's API needs — nothing generic to guess at.

Scoping note

Every request is scoped to the Company ID on file — set it once per client so their employee data never mixes with another company's.

03 / 04 Historical data

Backfill history, then sync forward.

The first run isn't limited to today's snapshot — pull a full historical range on setup, then let scheduled extracts keep it current going forward.

◨

One-time backfill

Set a historical start date on setup to pull past employee records in the initial extract, not just current-state data.

◔

Scheduled syncs after

Once the backfill lands, recurring runs on the pipeline schedule keep records current without re-pulling history each time.

◒

Same adapter, same auth

Historical and incremental pulls both run through the same Company-scoped OAuth2 connection — no separate export or one-off request to Paychex.

Double-check the Company ID before go-live — it's what keeps each client's employee data correctly scoped.
