Gusto

Gusto payroll, employee, and time-off reads

Gusto is the SMB payroll-and-benefits platform — runs payroll, files taxes, manages benefits, tracks time-off — used by startups and small businesses for the full HR stack without the enterprise overhead of ADP or Workday. Tiny Command exposes four read-side actions, no triggers (Gusto offers webhooks via the partner API for events like employee_created, payroll_run; for most workflows, scheduled-cadence reads are the standard pattern): List Employees (every employee in the connected company, with employment status, salary, department), Get Employee (full record with personal info, compensation, jobs, payment method), List Payrolls (recent payroll runs with totals, taxes, employee breakdowns), List Time-Off Requests (vacation/sick/PTO requests with status, dates, approver). The connection uses Gusto OAuth at company scope; the OAuth flow is gated to verified Gusto partners for write access, but read access works with standard OAuth. Writes (creating employees, running payroll) require partner-level OAuth which isn't covered by this connector's typed actions; reach via HTTP action with the elevated credentials if needed.

Actions

Do anything Gusto can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

ActionWhat it does
Get Gusto EmployeeReturns full employee record with employment, contact, compensation, and benefits info. Sensitive fields (SSN, bank) are masked. The standard lookup for HR-sync workflows.
List Gusto EmployeesReturns paginated employees for the connected company. Useful for "sync company directory to BambooHR" or for "monthly headcount report" workflows.
List Gusto PayrollsReturns recent payroll runs with totals and per-employee breakdowns. For "monthly payroll cost allocation by department" accounting workflows.
List Time-Off RequestsReturns vacation/sick/PTO requests with status, dates, type, approver. For "team capacity this week" planning workflows or for "alert when key person is out" coverage automation.

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect Gusto once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every Gusto field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

FAQ

If we missed yours, ping support. We usually reply within an hour.

How do I connect Gusto to Tiny Command?
Open the Tiny Command workflow builder, drop in a Gusto node, and click Connect. Authorize Gusto once and any workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. Most teams finish the connection in under two minutes.
What Gusto triggers does Tiny Command support?

What Gusto actions can I run from a workflow?
4 Gusto actions are available out of the box, covering other operations like "Get Gusto Employee". Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's a search result, an AI output, or a form field.
Is the Gusto integration real-time?
Gusto actions execute synchronously inside your workflow. Tiny Command waits for Gusto's API to confirm before continuing to the next step, so downstream nodes can rely on the result.
Do I need to write code to use Gusto with Tiny Command?
No. Every Gusto trigger and action is fully configurable from the visual workflow builder. For edge cases that aren't covered, drop in a custom HTTP node and call any Gusto API endpoint directly.
How much does the Gusto integration cost?
There's a free tier you can start on without a credit card. Higher run volumes and team features come with paid plans. The Gusto integration itself has no per-app surcharge.
