Why Connect Deputy to Expensify?

Reporting across Deputy and Expensify requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Deputy uses a REST + Webhook API while Expensify uses REST, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Guest booking data in Deputy and operations scheduling in Expensify require manual coordination

No single source of truth when employees live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Deputy limitations compound the integration challenge: integration with accounting platforms like Xero and MYOB works well, but real-time sync can occasionally lag behind by several hours

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Deputy and Expensify aligned
