What syncs

TriNet Zenefits is the source of truth for people. On each sync ClockLap reads:

  • People: name (preferred first), work email, TriNet ID, title, department, location, manager, status
Time off. Time off isn’t synced with TriNet Zenefits.

How it works

  1. Sign in with TriNetAs a company admin; you review exactly which data ClockLap asks for.
  2. Map departments and locationsTo ClockLap teams and sites.
  3. Review the dry runThen apply it and choose the schedule.

Matching people

Matched by earlier links, then work email and TriNet ID (employee number); saved as each person’s TriNet person ID.

  • Who wins, per field. The HR system by default: ClockLap is updated to match. Set any field to “ClockLap” and it’s only filled in when the person is added.
  • New people. Added automatically, without an invite unless you turn invites on. You choose the role they get.
  • People who leave. Suggested for turning off (default), or turned off automatically. Their history stays.
  • Sites and teams. Map the HR system’s locations or departments to ClockLap sites once; moves follow on every sync.
  • Single sign-on users. People your identity provider manages through SCIM keep what SCIM writes; the sync skips those fields and says so.
  • Schedule. Hourly, daily (default) or manual. A scheduled sync can apply itself or only prepare a preview for an admin.
A dry run first. The first sync is always a dry run: a list of the people who would be added, updated or suggested for turning off, field by field. Nothing changes until an admin applies it, and scheduled syncs wait for that first approval.

What you need

  • TriNet Zenefits (US) and a company admin
  • Your ClockLap provider’s TriNet application (TriNet reviews apps before they go live)

Every run keeps a history: who and what was sent, per-line results, plain-language errors with a fix, and a redacted request log for admins. Webhooks fire on people_sync.completed.

Questions

Why does it ask for so many permissions?

TriNet grants access field by field. ClockLap asks only for people, status, work email, manager, department and location.

Is people sync included in the price?

Yes. HR connections are part of every ClockLap plan, with no add-ons.

Is ClockLap affiliated with TriNet Zenefits?

No. ClockLap connects to TriNet Zenefits using its published API; it isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by TriNet Zenefits. The connection is in beta while we verify it with live accounts.
