Why This Integration Matters:
Eliminate manual meeting attendance logging into Paylocity
Automate payroll triggers based on Zoom webinar participation
Sync employee directories to ensure accurate Zoom role assignments
Streamline compliance reporting with automated time/activity records
Challenges of Manual Processes:
Data entry errors (12% average inaccuracy rate)
Time lags between meeting completion and payroll updates
Security risks from spreadsheet transfers
Missed revenue opportunities from unlogged billable hours
With Autonoly’s AI-powered integration, businesses achieve:
10-minute setup vs. 40+ hours of API development
Smart field mapping that adapts to both platforms’ data structures
Real-time bi-directional sync with auto-correcting error handling

4. Step-by-Step Integration Guide: Connect Zoom to Paylocity in Minutes
Step 1: Platform Setup and Authentication
1. Create Autonoly account (free trial available)
2. Connect Zoom:
- Navigate to Zoom’s OAuth 2.0 settings
- Grant `meeting:read`, `user:read` API scopes
3. Link Paylocity:
- Generate API keys in Paylocity Developer Console
- Whitelist Autonoly’s IPs (provided in setup wizard)
Step 2: Data Mapping and Transformation
1. Select integration template: "Zoom Attendance → Paylocity Timesheets"
2. AI suggests mappings:
- Zoom `duration_minutes` → Paylocity `regular_hours`
- Custom rule: `if duration > 60 → split into regular + overtime`
3. Add filters: Exclude test meetings with "[Sandbox]" in title
Step 3: Workflow Configuration and Testing
1. Set sync frequency: Real-time (webhook) vs. daily batches
2. Test with sample data:
- Verify Paylocity shows Zoom-derived hours correctly
- Check error handling (e.g., invalid employee emails)
Step 4: Deployment and Monitoring
1. Go live with one-click deployment
2. Monitor via Autonoly dashboard:
- Real-time sync status
- Failed record alerts with retry options
3. Optimize: Adjust API call rate limits if needed
5. Advanced Integration Scenarios: Maximizing Zoom + Paylocity Value
