Expensify’s API helps connect your account to third-party tools like NetSuite, Xero, and even internal systems like Workday. This guide includes tips, usage examples, and common troubleshooting questions — many sourced from customers who’ve done it before.
Getting Started
To start using the API, review our full Integration Server Manual.
Note: The API is a self-serve tool. Your internal team will need to manage setup and maintenance. While Concierge can assist with basic troubleshooting, hands-on support may vary by team or account manager.
This guide explains how business clients can integrate Expensify with Deel to automate expense synchronization. This one-way sync ensures that Expensify serves as the definitive source for all employee expenses.

How the Integration Works
By connecting Expensify to Deel, you can leverage Expensify’s approval workflows to ensure timely employee reimbursements via Deel. The integration links user profiles and expense workspaces between Expensify and Deel, allowing Deel to scan for approved expenses from matched users in designated workspaces. These approved expenses are then imported into Deel for reimbursement processing.
Key Details:
- One-Way Sync: Expenses approved in Expensify sync to Deel. Expenses logged in Deel will NOT sync back to Expensify.
- Approval Workflow: Only approved expenses in Expensify are eligible for syncing to Deel.
- Sync Timing: Expense syncing is not immediate. For more details, refer to How Does Expense Syncing Work?.
Prerequisites
Before setting up the integration, ensure you meet the following requirements:
- Deel Organization Manager permissions (admin-level access)
- Expensify Admin permissions for the workspaces you want to integrate
- A paid Expensify subscription to approve and sync expenses
Note: Expensify Admin permissions can be complex. For more details, refer to Expensify’s Introduction to Integration.
