Gusto
Let AI connect your sources for you
Skip the manual setup — run this in your project and the wizard auto-detects your databases and APIs and connects them to PostHog.
Connect Gusto to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.
Pull your Gusto payroll and people data into the PostHog Data warehouse.
Company data is only readable through an authorization-code OAuth grant, so you bring your own Gusto developer app: register it in the Gusto Developer Portal, authorize it against your company as a payroll admin, then enter the app's client ID and secret along with the resulting refresh token.
Gusto rotates refresh tokens, so the token you paste here is exchanged on every sync. If syncs start failing with an authorization error, generate a fresh refresh token and update this connection.
