# Integrating with Zenefits

Sync Zenefits employee data with Drivetrain for headcount planning. Covers adding a read-only external admin user for Drivetrain.

[Prerequisites](#prerequisites)

[Zenefits Setup](#zenefits-setup)\
[Add a New User](#add-a-new-user)

## Prerequisites

To connect Zenefits to Drivetrain, you need:

* An active Zenefits account
* Admin privileges on Zenefits
* Admin privileges in Drivetrain

## Zenefits Setup <a href="#zenefits-setup" id="zenefits-setup"></a>

Drivetrain supports integration with Zenefits via **API** from a read-only external **admin** user account.

To get started you would need to create a new user on Zenefits for Drivetrain with read-only administrative access.

### Add a New User <a href="#add-a-new-user" id="add-a-new-user"></a>

To grant an External Admin, (someone who is not listed as an employee in Zenefits) Admin Permissions, follow these steps:

1. Click on the **Company Profile** app on your admin dashboard.
2. Select the **Administrators** link on the left-hand side of the page and then click **Add Administrator.**
3. Since the external Admin is not listed as an employee at the company, click the **No** button and enter their name and contact info.
   * Zenefits will automatically send them an email to register their new **Zenefits Admin profile**.

4\. Select which **Roles** you want this individual to have and click **Continue**.

5\. Select which **Permissions** you want this individual to have and click **Add Admin**.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://integrations.drivetrain.ai/integration-guide/readme/hris-and-ats/integrating-with-zenefits.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
