About
When a new employee record is created in Salesforce, their information appears in Paychex Flex automatically, with everything payroll needs to pay them correctly — nobody retypes it. Employee updates follow the same path, including promotions, terminations and rehires, along with any custom fields your business depends on.
Time and attendance summaries move across too, covering work hours, paid time off, vacation and sick days, so payroll is calculated on real numbers. Paycheck data then flows back from Paychex Flex into Salesforce after every payroll cycle, so employees can find their payslips in the system they already use.
Salesforce is highly customisable, and Flexspring’s custom integrations handle that complexity, mapping any Salesforce data into Paychex Flex in near real time by API. Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connection for you, and no internal IT resources are needed. A custom integration is fully deployed in 8-12 weeks, depending on complexity. Flexspring is a Salesforce Integration Partner and a Paychex Marketplace Partner.
Here are the four integration use cases Flexspring is asked for most often between Salesforce and Paychex Flex. Each row names the direction the data travels: three flow from Salesforce into Paychex Flex, and paycheck data returns the other way. With Flexspring, you only pay for the use case or use cases you need. Flexspring also builds custom integrations for one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, background checks and assessments.
Flexspring iPaaS does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.
A lot of people arrive here comparing the two products. If you are deciding which single system to buy, that is a real decision and this guide will not make it for you.
But many teams do not choose. They keep Salesforce as the place employee records live — often on custom objects built for how their business actually works — and Paychex Flex for payroll. That works well, right up until someone has to keep both in sync by hand. Disconnected apps are the problem this data integration solves: Salesforce stays the place people work, and Paychex Flex gets clean data on time without anyone retyping it.
With data integration, new hires, employee updates and time and attendance summaries move from Salesforce into Paychex Flex automatically, and paycheck data flows back from Paychex Flex into Salesforce so employees can see their payslips. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.
You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain.
