# Connecting Paychex® to Built

*For customers new to our Paychex integration. Supported integrations include Paychex Flex Select, Paychex Flex Pro, Paychex Flex Enterprise, HR Partner Plus, HR Pro, and HR PEO.*

---

## Getting Started

If you do not already have a Built account, please connect with our team before initiating your Paychex integration.

## Enabling Your Integration

Please contact our Customer Success Team to schedule an implementation call. During your call, a member of our team will help you enable your integration, configure your account settings, and ensure your Paychex data is imported correctly.

### Authorization Requirements

You’ll be asked to provide your Paychex Client ID (located in the upper-left corner of your Paychex Flex account). You will then be provided with a link to grant Built access to your Paychex account. The link will open your Paychex account and display a checkbox to agree to the terms of use before clicking **Approve**. After connecting to Paychex, daily automatic imports will be enabled. You may also initiate a manual import from Paychex at any time.

### Notes about implementation:

- *Only Company Admins and HR Admins can enable integrations. Learn more about* [*managing user roles and permissions*](/v1/docs/managing-user-roles-and-permissions)*.*
- *We recommend* [*configuring how Built handles positions for imported terminations and new hires*](/v1/docs/configuring-how-built-handles-positions-for-imported-terminations-and-new-hires) *to determine if positions are automatically deleted or created.*
- *If you already have a Built account containing data, we will request your permission via email to clear existing data, ensuring information is not duplicated when importing directly from Paychex.*
- *If a* [*Built Position ID custom field has been created in Paychex*](/v1/docs/connecting-people-imported-from-paychex-with-newly-assigned-positions#to-create-built-position-id-custom-fields-in-paychex)*, Built’s position IDs will be sent back to Paychex during the initial import.*

## To initiate a manual import in Built:

*Only Company Admins, HR Admins, and HR Managers can import data.*

1. From Built's main menu, navigate to the **Org Chart** page.

*You can also import people and positions from the People page.*
2. Click the import/export icon in the upper-right corner of the page, then click **Records from Paychex**. The system will confirm when your import is complete and display your import summary. ​*During the import, the system may prompt you to match new records from Paychex to existing records in Built and/or correct any errors.*

## Notes about managing your Paychex integration and import settings:

- *If you'd like to disable automatic imports, click your company name at the top of the main navigation and then navigate to* ***Company Settings > Imports****. (If the Imports tab is not initially visible, locate it by clicking* ***More****.) Locate the* ***Paychex Import Settings*** *section and click the* ***Edit*** *button. Click the* ***Enable Automatic Imports*** *dropdown to select* ***No,*** *and then click* ***Save****.*
- *To deactivate your Paychex integration, navigate to* ***Company Settings > Integrations.*** *Locate and click* ***Paychex****. Click* ***Deactivate.***

Please contact our Customer Success Team for additional assistance.
