Automatically sync PTO requests from Gusto to Accelo

The PTO Accelo integration is available to customers on the Plus or Premium plan. You can upgrade your plan at any time.

Accelo will sync PTO and sick time requests for the next 90 days and past seven days. To add requests outside of that range, you can manually sync requests - scroll below for more information.

  1. Sign in to Accelo.
  2. Hover over your user profile icon in the top-right hand corner.
  3. Click Integrations.
  4. Click Gusto under “People Integrations”.
  5. Under “Event Types,” select whether you’d like to:
    • Sync all submitted and Approved PTO
      • This is Accelo's recommended setting - it presents a more accurate picture of your team's expected future availability and can be helpful when determining whether to grant a time off request.
      • Time off requests will be synced with Accelo as soon as they're created in Gusto.
    • Sync only Approved PTO
      • This setting is useful when trying to keep your Accelo calendar clear - usually used when you have a large volume of time-off requests being made frequently.
      • Only time off requests that have been approved will be synced with Accelo.

The sync will begin automatically once the settings have been chosen - and continue to sync every 15 minutes to provide the most up to date PTO status in Accelo.

You can now view PTO requests in Accelo on your company-wide holiday calendar and individual's vacation calendars. Hover over the event to see to see:
