Your Gusto and MonkeyPod accounts are now connected. In Gusto, MonkeyPod is listed in the App Directory. MonkeyPod will automatically import payrolls and contractor payments within 24 hours of when they’re processed in Gusto. Imported transactions are also automatically recorded in MonkeyPod.

If you want to import previous payroll transactions or contractor payments from Gusto to MonkeyPod, follow the steps below. Note that MonkeyPod will not automatically do any bookkeeping on these historical imports, so it’s safe to import your entire history. Later, you can choose exactly which transactions you need to record. 

1. Sign in to MonkeyPod.
2. In the upper panel, click your company name.
3. Choose Gusto. 
4. Click Payroll History. 
5. Click Optionally, you may import your historical payroll data.
   • Once the data is imported, it’s listed by payroll date in the “Payroll History” tab. 
6. If you want MonkeyPod to record the transactions from a payroll, click the three dots for the payroll you want to record.  
   • Click Record transactions. Once complete, the payroll’s status in the left-most column changes to “Recorded.”

For future payrolls, MonkeyPod will automatically import payrolls and contractor payments within 24 hours of when they’re processed in Gusto. Transactions are automatically recorded in MonkeyPod when they’re imported.

Import troubleshooting: if you manually recorded a payroll transaction and then MonkeyPod imports and re-records it, simply delete the duplicate record.
