# Gusto — IT Setup Guide

This guide is for IT administrators and Gusto account owners. Gusto connects to SIA through Composio — a managed connection service that handles authentication with a single sign-in. There's nothing to generate ahead of time.

Once setup is complete, your HR team can start using SIA's capabilities directly from Gusto. See the Gusto HR Workflow Guide for what they can do from there.

> **Note**
>
> **Note:** Connecting Gusto to SIA connects it for your **entire organisation**, not just your account. Disconnecting it turns it off for everyone — confirm with your team before making any changes.

### Before you begin

All you need is a login to Gusto with enough permissions to approve a third-party integration, usually an admin or owner account. There's nothing to generate or copy ahead of time.

### Step 1 — Open Connectors in SIA

1. Log in to your SIA account
2. Click your **Profile icon** in the bottom-left corner
3. Click **Connectors** from the menu
4. You'll land on the **Connectors** page

### Step 2 — Find Gusto and connect

1. Search for **Gusto** by name
2. Click **Connect** on its tile

### Step 3 — Authorise access

1. You'll be redirected to Gusto's own sign-in page
2. Log in with an account that has permission to approve integrations
3. Review the permissions SIA is requesting and click **Approve**

### Step 4 — Back in SIA

1. Once you approve, you're redirected back to SIA automatically
2. The Gusto tile now shows **Connected**

Nothing to copy or paste at any point. The entire flow runs through Gusto's own login screen.

### Enable automatic syncing

To enable automatic syncing of your Gusto data with SIA, reach out to the Senseloaf team at <support@senseloaf.com>. The team will configure and enable the bidirectional sync for your organisation.

### What happens once connected

Once Gusto is connected, SIA begins syncing data automatically — no further setup required from IT. For a full overview of what the HR team can do from here, see the Gusto HR Workflow Guide.
