Reason bindbee exists_
Why Use Bindbee Instead of Zenefits' Native API?
Building directly with Zenefits' API means learning their specific data model, building OAuth2 flows, managing pagination with starting_after cursors, handling rate limits, and maintaining the integration as their API evolves. With Bindbee, you integrate once and support Zenefits plus 60+ other HR systems through a single, normalized interface.

FAQS_

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up Zenefits with Bindbee?

Most customers complete setup in under 10 minutes. Your end-user authenticates via Magic Link, and initial data sync begins immediately. No custom OAuth2 implementation required on your end.

What credentials does my customer need to connect Zenefits?

Your customer needs admin access to their Zenefits account. Magic Link guides them through the authentication process. No API credentials are stored on your servers—Bindbee manages token handling securely.

Does Bindbee support Zenefits custom fields?

Yes. Enable include_custom_fields=true in your API requests. Custom fields appear in the custom_fields object with their original Zenefits field names, making it easy to access company-specific data.

Can I sync benefits and dependent data from Zenefits?

Yes. Bindbee syncs full benefits enrollment data including plan type, contribution amounts, coverage tiers, and effective dates. Dependent data includes name, relationship, date of birth, and which benefit plans cover each dependent.

How often does Bindbee sync data from Zenefits?

After the initial sync (which completes in minutes), Bindbee runs automatic incremental syncs to keep data fresh. You can also trigger manual syncs via the API or dashboard. Webhooks notify you when new data is available.

Is my data secure when syncing from Zenefits?

Absolutely. Bindbee is SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA compliant, and GDPR ready. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). We never store your customer's Zenefits credentials—authentication is handled via secure token exchange.

Can I get organizational hierarchy from Zenefits?

Yes. The manager field on Employee objects contains the manager's Bindbee ID. Use the expand query parameter to get full manager details in a single API call. Department and division are also available for org chart construction.

Does Bindbee sync terminated employees from Zenefits?

Yes. Use employment_status=INACTIVE to filter for terminated employees, or check the termination_date field. Historical employee data remains accessible through the API.

What happens if Zenefits' API is down?

Bindbee caches all synced data, so your API calls continue working normally. We retry failed syncs automatically and notify you of persistent issues via webhooks—zero impact on your application's availability.

Does Bindbee work with TriNet Zenefits?

Yes. Zenefits was acquired by TriNet and is now branded as TriNet HR Plus in some contexts. Bindbee's Zenefits connector works with current TriNet Zenefits accounts, ensuring your integration stays current as the platform evolves.
