Add hours or an amount to a worker's check
Adds an unprocessed check for a worker in an open pay period (status ENTRY or INITIAL) with one earning.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Paste the client ID and secret of an app your organization registered with Paychex. The platform fetches its tokens itself (OAuth client credentials).
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Paychex data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list companies, find workers or get a worker in Paychex, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Paychex
Have the agent add hours or an amount to a worker's check in Paychex as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Paychex and Slack: it can list companies in Paychex and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
