Paylocity connects with OAuth 2.0 client credentials that Paylocity issues to you, plus the company ID of the Paylocity company you're connecting.

Install the Paylocity integration

Install Paylocity from Available integrations in each environment you connect accounts from.

Get API credentials

Paylocity doesn't let you create API credentials yourself. Request API access through Paylocity's integration program. Once Paylocity approves the request, it sends you OAuth credentials and access to a sandbox account.

To find the Company ID, sign in to Paylocity and go to Help → About/Copyright.
