Plug MangoApps Into Your Existing Payroll
Keep MangoApps in step with your payroll — employee records sync in, approved timesheets push out, paychecks flow back for self-service. Connectors for ADP, Workday, Gusto, and more.
See Payroll Connect In Action
Connect OneMango to ADP Workforce Now, Workday HCM, Gusto, Paychex, or BambooHR to sync employees, submit approved timesheets, import paychecks for employee self-service (each where the provider supports it), and review the pay changes a step-increase schedule makes.
What Payroll Connect Helps You Do
Connect To Your Provider
Pre-built connectors for ADP Workforce Now, Workday HCM, Gusto, BambooHR, Paychex, and Infor. Custom API connector for everything else.
Sync Employees
Employee records sync in from your payroll provider and are matched to MangoApps people by email or employee ID, so both systems name the same person.
Submit Timesheets
A payroll admin sends approved timesheets from MangoApps to the payroll provider — a few at a time or queued in the background — and sees each delivery or failure.
Import Paychecks
Paycheck data flows back into MangoApps for employee self-service — pay stubs with a PDF download, and year-end forms where your provider supplies them — without leaving the workspace.
Track Comp Changes
Step increases from Compensation Management are listed for a company admin to acknowledge, with a compensation-history record.
Monitor Sync Health
Sync status, error logs, and a retry for every failed timesheet — admin sees every successful sync and every failure with the reason.
How The Integration Works
For HR Admins
Configure once, monitor continuously, intervene only when needed.
- Provider configuration — API credentials, mapping rules, sync schedule.
- Field mapping — map MangoApps fields to provider fields where defaults don't match.
- Sync schedule — hourly, daily, weekly, or manual only.
- Sync log — each run's result and the reason for any failure; failed timesheet pushes can be retried.
- Audit log — every sync attempt logged with operator, timestamp, and result.
For Payroll Admins
Clean handoffs between MangoApps and your payroll system.
- Approved timesheets submission — send to payroll when you are ready, with a batch summary and exceptions.
- Pay run import — pull paycheck data into MangoApps for employee self-service.
- Step-increase review — raises a step schedule makes are listed for a company admin to acknowledge or reject.
- Leavers' final hours — a departed employee's approved hours still go to payroll.
For Employees
Pay stubs and year-end forms inside MangoApps — no separate provider portal hunt.
- Pay stub access — every check, every period, in-app — even though payroll runs in ADP/Gusto/Workday.
- Year-end forms — W-2 and 1099 downloads from ADP, Gusto or Infor once an admin turns on Tax documents for the connection.
- PDF pay stubs — download any check as a PDF, on the web or the phone.
How A Pay Cycle Moves Through The Integration
Built-In Connectors
Pre-built connectors plus a custom API connector for everything else.
ADP Workforce Now
Employee sync, timesheet submission and paycheck import — all through the ADP Workforce Now API.
Workday HCM
Workday HCM integration for employee sync, time data submission, and paycheck retrieval.
Gusto
Gusto integration for employee sync and paycheck import. Gusto takes no timesheets from Payroll Connect — enter hours in Gusto directly.
BambooHR
BambooHR integration for employee record sync and time data. BambooHR has no paycheck API, so paychecks are not imported.
Paychex Flex
Paychex Flex integration with employee, time, and paycheck sync.
Infor CloudSuite HCM
Infor integration for employee sync. Not yet verified against a live Infor tenant.
Custom API
Custom API connector for any payroll provider with a documented REST interface. Build mappings once, sync on the schedule that fits.
Payroll Connect In Practice
A practical scope check: what the app covers, which controls matter, and the workflows teams usually run first.
Core workflow
Connect to external payroll providers with configurable field mappings and employee sync.
Controls that matter
Employee & Field Mapping includes Employee ID and payroll code matching and Custom field-level mapping configuration.
Scope and specs
Useful specs: Built-in providers: ADP, Workday, Gusto, BambooHR, Paychex, Infor, Custom; Sync frequencies: Hourly, Daily, Weekly (admin-configurable); provider requests time out after up to 300 seconds in background syncs.
Payroll provider integration
An admin connects their payroll system, maps employee fields, and enables automatic paycheck imports on a recurring schedule.
Paycheck visibility
Employees view their imported pay stubs including earnings, deductions, and net pay directly within MangoApps.
Bulk salary review
HR uses the salary management tool to review and compare compensation across the organization, flagging anomalies before the next pay cycle.
Connected To The Rest Of MangoApps
← Timesheets
Approved hours from Timesheets are sent to the payroll provider by a payroll admin.
← Leave Management
Approved leave lands on the timesheet, so the hours a payroll admin sends reflect it.
← Compensation
Pay changes are approved and applied in MangoApps; Payroll Connect keeps the connection to your payroll provider.
← Benefits
Benefit deductions show on imported pay stubs as your provider reports them, and Benefits' 1095-C forms sit beside W-2s under Tax documents.
→ Employee Data
Each sync matches the provider's employees to their MangoApps people by email or employee ID, and new hires can be created from the provider's record.
→ Payroll AI
With Payroll Prep on, the Payroll AI agent also lists employees' year-end tax forms from Payroll Connect's providers and answers their pay questions.
REPLACES POINT TOOLS
One payroll integration in place of the connector-stack-plus-CSV mess
Most HR teams glue their HRIS to their payroll provider with a third-party integration platform, a per-connector subscription, and a fallback CSV export when the integration breaks. Payroll Connect retires that — and uses the platform's own bi-directional connectors.
Finch
HRIS-to-payroll API aggregator
- No per-connection metering — connect ADP, Gusto, Workday, Paychex, BambooHR, or Infor with one license, not a per-employee Finch bill
- Bi-directional sync (timesheets out, paychecks in) — not a read-only mirror
- Same per-employee suite license covers payroll integration AND the rest of HR, instead of a connector-platform add-on
Merge Payroll
Unified payroll API platform
- Payroll Connect is configured by HR admins in a few clicks — not engineering-implemented per tenant
- Built-in connectors (ADP, Gusto, Workday, Paychex, BambooHR, Infor) plus a custom API connector — no Merge engineering ticket per provider
- Sync logs and error handling visible to the HR admin who runs the integration, not buried in a developer dashboard
Workato HR connectors
General-purpose iPaaS for HR
- HR-specific connectors purpose-built for payroll fields (rates, deductions, tax IDs) — not generic record-mapping recipes
- No Workato runtime fees or per-task usage costs — included in the suite license
- Connector configuration uses the HRIS field map already maintained — no recipe to keep in sync
Custom HRIS-to-payroll integration
Engineering-built point-to-point sync
- Pre-built connectors maintained as ADP/Gusto/Workday APIs evolve — no engineering tax for every provider update
- Bi-directional timesheet submission and paycheck import without a custom job to write
- Sync events, errors, and retries recorded in the connection's sync log
PLATFORM ADVANTAGE
Payroll Connect inherits everything else MangoApps already does
A point integration platform has to build, buy, or integrate each of these. Payroll Connect gets them for free because the platform already runs them.
Identity & SSO
Admin configures the connection once with the same SSO they use for every other app — connector credentials stored as a SystemIntegration.
HRIS-driven field mapping
Provider fields map to MangoApps fields once per connection, with defaults where they match — no separate mapping spreadsheet to maintain.
Language support
AI translation covers posts, messages and documents in 39 languages, and the web interface is available in English, Spanish and Chinese where the organization turns on web translation.
Sync history
Every sync event, error, and retry is recorded in the connection's sync log, with the result and the reason for any failure.
Mobile app & paycheck self-service
Employees see imported paychecks in the same mobile app they use for shifts and leave — no portal hop to ADP or Gusto.
Workflow & automation
Approved timesheets queue for payroll in the background, and an employee whose hours did not reach payroll is told — on the same platform.
INDUSTRY FIT
Built for the organizations that already chose a payroll provider
Payroll Connect is the integration layer for companies running payroll on ADP, Gusto, Workday, Paychex, BambooHR, or Infor — and want to keep it.
Retail
Multi-state, multi-location chains running ADP Workforce Now or Paychex — with timesheet submission and paycheck import per store.
Healthcare
Hospital systems on Workday HCM — approved shift hours go to payroll, and staff read their pay stubs on their phones.
Manufacturing
Plant-floor employers running ADP or Paychex — approved hours go to payroll without manual exports, and pay stubs reach the shop floor on mobile.
Professional Services
Firms on Gusto or BambooHR — employee records sync in from the provider without writing a custom integration.
Hospitality
Property-level employers with ADP or Paychex — approved hours from every property go to payroll, and every employee keeps their pay stubs a tap away.
Construction
Prevailing-wage employers running ADP or Paychex — approved timesheets go to payroll each pay period without re-keying.
WHY MANGOAPPS WINS
One platform beats a stack of point solutions on every axis
The argument finance, security, IT, and HR all share — and the one a payroll-integration point tool structurally cannot answer.
Cheaper than the stack
One per-employee suite license replaces Finch + Merge Payroll + Workato HR connectors + a per-provider custom integration — and the bill stops growing.
More secure
OAuth tokens and API keys for ADP/Gusto/Workday stored as SystemIntegrations behind the same identity perimeter — no third-party data plane to certify.
Easier to deploy
Six built-in connectors plus a custom API connector. Pick your provider, authorize, map fields, sync — same week as the app turns on.
Easier to use
Employees see imported paychecks in the mobile app alongside shifts and leave — no separate ADP or Workday portal to log into.
Easier to manage
One admin surface for connector status, sync logs, and field maps — not an iPaaS dashboard plus a Finch console plus a CSV folder.
Easier to extend
The same platform runs your timesheets, approvals and payroll hand-off — no connector recipe to keep in sync.
AI is actually better
Employees ask Ask AI for their recent pay and get the paychecks your provider issued — governed by the same permission model as every other screen, and silent when pay amounts are hidden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use Payroll Connect when you already have a payroll provider (ADP, Gusto, Workday, Paychex, BambooHR, Infor, or a custom API) — it bridges MangoApps to your existing system. Use Payroll Prep when you want MangoApps to turn approved timesheets into a gross-pay report you send to your processor — it does not calculate taxes or pay anyone.
Pre-built connectors for ADP Workforce Now, Workday HCM, Gusto, BambooHR, Paychex Flex, and Infor CloudSuite HCM (employee sync only, not yet verified on a live tenant). A custom API connector handles any other provider with a documented REST interface. MangoPay is a demo provider for trying the app.
Both. A payroll admin sends approved timesheets from MangoApps to the provider. Employee records and paycheck data pull from the provider into MangoApps for employee self-service, on the schedule the admin chooses — hourly, daily, weekly, or manual only. What each provider exchanges varies — Gusto takes no timesheets, BambooHR has no paycheck API, and Infor syncs employees only.
Failed syncs are logged with the reason, and the admin is emailed; a failed timesheet push shows its reason and a Retry. Admins see every failure in the sync dashboard and can retry, fix the underlying issue, or escalate. Sync attempts are fully audit-logged.
Yes. Paycheck data imports back into MangoApps for employee self-service — pay stubs with a PDF download, and year-end forms where your provider supplies them — without making employees log into a separate provider portal.
Payroll Connect lists the raises a step-increase schedule in Compensation Management makes, already applied, for a company admin to acknowledge or reject, with a compensation-history record. Change pay by hand in Salary Management. Pay changes are not pushed to the payroll provider, so record them there as well.
API credentials are stored as a SystemIntegration record per the MangoApps external-integrations pattern. Credentials are never embedded in app code. Sync activity is audit-logged with operator, timestamp, and result. Access controls follow the same business and role scoping as the rest of MangoApps.
