Setting up the Integration
Note that you must be an Admin in both Zenefits and JazzHR in order to set up this integration. Begin in JazzHR to link to your Zenefits account. Here's how:
- Click Settings.
- Scroll down to the Zenefits section.
- Click Connect.
*Note: Ad-Blockers may prevent you from connecting
From the next screen:
- Enter your "Zenefits Login Email" and password.
- Click Sign In.
Note that customers who previously connected with the one-way integration will need to reconnect in order to authenticate the two-way sync.
Initial Employee Sync
Once you sign in to Zenefits, you'll have the opportunity to sync your existing Zenefits employees with JazzHR.
Otherwise:
- Check the box next to each employee's name to either 1. create them as a new user in JazzHR or 2. link their existing JazzHR account with their Zenefits profile (thus enabling SSO).
- Click Continue.
The integration will match Zenefits employees with users in JazzHR via their work and personal emails. If no match is found, a brand new user is created in JazzHR. If a match is found, the accounts will be linked to enable SSO.
Managing Users from Zenefits
Once you've completed your initial employee sync, you can come back into Zenefits to manage JazzHR users directly from Zenefits at any time. From the Admin Dashboard in Zenefits:
- Click Integrations.
- Scroll and click the JazzHR block.
- Click Users.
- Click Connect next to each employee's name to either 1. create them as a new user in JazzHR or 2. link their existing JazzHR account with their Zenefits profile (thus enabling SSO).
Note that employees who you've have already had their accounts synced with show as "Synced."
SSO from Zenefits
Once you've been added as a user to JazzHR from Zenefits (either via the initial sync or later on), you can sign in to JazzHR directly from your Zenefits dashboard:
- Under the "Apps" section, simply click the JazzHR box to be taken to JazzHR directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I unable to integrate my accounts when I click "Connect?"
This issue typically occurs from a pop-up blocker or browser extension that prohibits the apps from connecting. Please disable all pop-up blockers and ad/blocking extensions when integrating accounts.
Why am I receiving a "Reconnect with Zenefits" message when trying to export a candidate from JazzzHR?
This message means that you're currently connected via the one-way sync integration. Click Go to Integrations Page and scroll to the "Zenefits" section to authenticate and upgrade to the two-way sync.
Why do I see two JazzHR blocks under my "Apps" section in Zenefits?
This means you previously connected your accounts via the old integration method. To avoid confusion, click on the "Jazz" (not "JazzHR") block, and click Disconnect. This will remove the old integration option from your dashboard, leaving only the correct "JazzHR" block.
How long does it take for employees to sync from Zenefits to JazzHR?
Employees added via the initial sync or by an Admin later on should take no longer than a minute or two to sync. Candidates exported from JazzHR with a future Start Date will shows as "Syncing" up until 24 hours after that start date.
What should I do if my employee still shows as "Syncing" in Zenefits even though he/she doesn't have a future Start Date?
Wait 24 hours to ensure the integration has picked up this new employee record. If the employee still shows as "Syncing" and does not have a future Start Date, click the Disconnect icon next to their name. Then, click Connect to re-trigger the record creation.
