What is the TriNet (Zenefits) synchronization?

The integration between TriNet (Zenefits) and Flexopus connects your HR system with your workplace management solution. Flexopus reads the absence data maintained in TriNet (Zenefits) and automatically transfers it to the platform. This is a read-only synchronization: absence data is only imported from TriNet (Zenefits) and cannot be modified via Flexopus.

The following data is synchronized:

  • Employee ID and approval ID
  • Start and end date of the absence
  • Status of the absence (e.g., approved)
  • Type of absence (e.g., vacation, sick leave)
  • Absence note

Upon request, Flexopus can be configured to transmit only a general "Absent" status, without revealing the specific reason for the absence. This allows you to maintain full control over the scope of the transferred data.

What is the purpose of the integration?

The integration ensures that absence information from TriNet (Zenefits) is directly visible in Flexopus – without manual entry or duplicate data maintenance.

Typical use cases:

  • Employees can see their own absence status directly on the Flexopus home screen.
  • Teams can see at a glance who is in the office, working remotely, or away – simplifying daily collaboration.
  • Resources like desks or meeting rooms can be automatically released for absent employees so that other colleagues can use them.

The result: less manual work, more team transparency, and better utilization of your office resources.

How easy is the integration?

Setting up the TriNet (Zenefits) integration is straightforward and requires no technical expertise. As an administrator, navigate to the HRIS integrations section in Flexopus, select TriNet (Zenefits), and grant the necessary permissions in your HR system. Flexopus will then automatically synchronize absence data based on your employees' email addresses.

A complete step-by-step guide for setup can be found in our Help Center.

Please note: The HRIS integration module is an optional add-on that can be purchased separately. It is generally available to all customers upon request.

What are the benefits of the integration?

  • Automatic synchronization: Absence data from TriNet (Zenefits) is transferred to Flexopus regularly and automatically – with no manual effort.
  • Increased team transparency: All employees can see at a glance who is present, remote, or absent.
  • Better resource planning: Available capacities can be used by other colleagues.
  • Privacy-friendly configuration: You decide whether the exact reason for absence is transferred or just a general status.
  • Seamless integration into existing HR processes: Flexopus fits into your existing IT infrastructure without changing current workflows.
  • Simple setup: The connection is established quickly and requires no complex technical configuration.
