Astute Payroll Integration Basics
Canyou connects to Astute Payroll so the people you onboard are checked and cleared to work in Canyou, then land in Astute Payroll without anyone retyping their details.
What the integration does
Once Astute Payroll is connected, an admin can click Sync to Astute Payroll on a user's profile. Canyou creates the employee in Astute Payroll, or updates them if they've been synced before, with:
- Their profile: name, gender, date of birth, email, mobile, address and emergency contact.
- Their tax and employment details from their TFN declaration: TFN, engagement, tax table and employment eligibility.
- Their bank account.
- Their super fund, including SMSF details.
- Their visa: visa type, expiry date and passport country, from their latest successful visa check.

What you'll need
- Admin access to your business in Canyou, with the Manage integrations permission.
- Your Astute Payroll portal address, e.g.
https://acme.astutepayroll.com. - An Astute Payroll API username and API password. Astute Payroll support turns on API access and issues these.
A few things to know
- Data only goes one way, from Canyou to Astute Payroll. Canyou doesn't import employees, timesheets or pay runs from Astute Payroll.
- A sync only runs when an admin clicks Sync to Astute Payroll. Nothing is sent automatically.
- Once a user is synced, Canyou saves their Astute Payroll employee ID on their profile, so later syncs update the same employee instead of creating a new one.
- To link a user to an employee who's already in Astute Payroll, enter that employee's UID in Astute Payroll employee ID on the user's profile before you sync.
