Integrate Deel

The Scrut-Deel integration fetches employee data from your Deel account and syncs it with Scrut. In this guide, we walk you through the process of integrating your Deel account with Scrut.

Prerequisites

Before starting the integration, ensure you have the following access and permissions:

Account Requirements

• You must be a Scrut Admin (or Contributor with access to the Integration module)

• You need permissions to generate an API access token in your Deel account

Permissions

Scrut requires read-only access to the following data in Deel:

• Organizations:read

  • View basic information about your organizations, teams, legal entities, and agreements

• People:read

  • Read worker’s information such as profile, time off, etc.

• Time-off:read

  • Read time off related data like time off requests, balances, policies, and more

Pro Tip!

We recommend logging into your organization’s Deel account before starting the integration to avoid doing so later.
