How to connect Paylocity to Binom: employee shifts and open shifts. Available on request.
The Paylocity integration with Binom helps employees with their shifts: your AI employee shows the shifts assigned to an employee and the open shifts they can take. Paylocity is available on request in your Binom dashboard: Integrations → More integrations → Paylocity.
What Binom can do in Paylocity
Binom here means your AI employee. After you connect Paylocity, it calls the service's actions when a conversation needs that data. You decide which actions it can use. In the dashboard, each action is marked: read (Binom only views data), write or delete (Binom changes or deletes data in Paylocity).
| Section | What Binom can view | What Binom can change |
|---|---|---|
| Shifts | Company shifts, employee shifts, open shifts | No |
| Employees | Employees, job titles, workplaces | Create and update |
| Payroll | Earnings, deductions, pay stubs | Create and update earnings and deductions |
| Taxes | Tax settings | Update |
Can an employee check their shifts through Binom?
Yes. Binom finds the employee ("Get Employee") and shows their shifts ("Get Employee Shifts").
Open shifts
An employee asks where they can pick up extra work, and Binom shows the open shifts ("Get Open Shifts").
What access you will need
Connection method: sign in with OAuth 2.0 (you sign in to your service account and confirm access). You need Paylocity administrator rights. Details for each method are shown in the "Authentication" block on the Paylocity page in your dashboard.
How to get the Paylocity integration
Paylocity is connected on request: first, the Binom team sets up the integration for your account. The general catalog rules are described in the guide how to connect a service from "More integrations".
- Open Integrations → More integrations, enter "Paylocity" in the "Search integrations" field, and open the Paylocity card.
- On the "Paylocity integration for assistant" page, you will see the message "Integration available on request. Request it now, and we will set it up for you as a priority." The assistant here is your Binom. The "Authentication" block shows which access you will need, and the "Actions" list shows everything Binom can do in Paylocity.
- Click "Request integration". "Request sent. You will receive a notification when the integration is available." appears, and the button changes to "Requested".
- A Binom setup specialist will contact you. When the integration is ready, a "Connect" button will appear on the Paylocity page.
- Click "Connect", go through the steps in the "Connect Paylocity" window, and click "Done". After "Connecting…", the status will change to "Connected". If you see "Confirmation has not arrived yet. The connection may still complete, so check again in a minute.", click "Check again".
How to choose what Binom can do in Paylocity
A connected integration does nothing until you allow actions. The dashboard says this clearly: "Select the actions the assistant can trigger. Until something is selected, it has no access to any actions."
- On the Paylocity page, check the actions you need in the "Actions" list. The "Filter by actions" field helps you find them by name. The counter shows how many are selected.
- Check the "Ask before changing data" toggle. It is on by default: before a write or delete action, Binom will describe what it plans to do and wait for your reply.
- Click "Save". The message "Allowed actions saved" confirms the changes.
To get started, "List Employees", "Get Employee Shifts" and "Get Open Shifts" are enough. Add write and delete actions when you are ready to let Binom change data in Paylocity.
How to check that the integration works
- Start a new conversation with your Binom, for example through a public chat link, ask for your shifts for the week, and compare them with Paylocity.
Possible problems
Binom does not use Paylocity data in its answers
What to check: the Paylocity status is "Connected", and the needed actions are selected (for example "Get Employee Shifts").
What to do: select the actions and click "Save".
How to tell it is fixed: "Allowed actions saved" appears, and in a new conversation Binom answers using Paylocity data.
"Could not save the request. Please try again."
What to do: click "Request integration" again. If the message keeps appearing, write to support@binomai.com with the name of your Binom and the integration (Paylocity).
How to tell it is fixed: the button shows "Requested".
"Integration is temporarily unavailable. Your request has been saved."
Nothing else is needed: the request is saved, and you will receive a notification when Paylocity can be connected.
"Reconnection required"
What it means: "The service no longer accepts saved access, so the assistant does not use it."
What to do: open the Paylocity page in More integrations, click "Reconnect", and go through the connection window again.
How to tell it is fixed: the status is "Connected".
"Could not start the connection. Please try again."
What to do: click "Connect" again. If the message keeps appearing, write to support@binomai.com with the name of your Binom, the integration (Paylocity), and a screenshot of the message.
How to tell it is fixed: the "Connect Paylocity" window opens.
"On a paid plan" instead of the connect button
The page will show "Available on a paid plan. Tell us what you need, and we will let you know when it launches." For what each plan includes, see the plans and subscription prices page, and for how to change your plan, see the guide how to change or upgrade your plan. After changing your plan, return to More integrations and open Paylocity again.
"You do not have permission to manage this section."
What it means: only users with the Owner or Admin access level can manage integrations.
What to do: ask the account owner to give you the Admin access level or to connect Paylocity themselves. More: access levels in a team.
How to tell it is fixed: after refreshing the page, the integration settings open.
If the problem is not solved, write to support@binomai.com or send "I want to talk to a person" in the chat with the Tutor. Include the name of your Binom, the integration, and a screenshot of the message.
How to disconnect Paylocity
On the Paylocity page, click "Disconnect". The "Disconnect Paylocity?" window will show a warning: "The assistant will lose access to the service. To restore it, you will need to connect the integration again and enter the access details again." Confirm, and "Integration disconnected" will appear.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a developer to integrate Paylocity?
No. You request Paylocity in the Integrations → More integrations section, the Binom team sets up the integration, and then you connect the account yourself and choose the actions.
