Gusto
What Paperbeam reads from Gusto, the read-only access it asks for and why, filters, and the beats it feeds.
People
Read-only OAuth
New hires, work anniversaries, headcount and a departures count from Gusto. Never pay, compensation, bank or tax data.
What we read
- Hires, work anniversaries and promotions
- Metric values
Only the reporting window of each edition is read. Paperbeam stores derived facts and short excerpts, not copies of your Gusto data, and keeps raw evidence only for your retention period.
Access we ask for, and why
| Scope | Why |
|---|---|
employees:read | Names, job titles, departments, hire dates and termination dates (pay fields are never requested) |
companies:read | Company name for the connection label |
departments:read | Department names for filters |
All access is read-only. You can revoke it from Gusto at any time, or disconnect the source in Paperbeam.
Connect Gusto
- Go to Sources and choose Gusto.
- Click Continue to Gusto and approve the read-only access in the window that opens.
- The credential is encrypted before it is stored and never shown again. Use Sync now on the source’s page to see what it collects from the last 24 hours, and set filters there.
You need the admin or owner role in Paperbeam, and enough permission in Gusto to grant read access to the data listed above.
To keep specific people, channels or topics out of the paper across all sources, use exclusion rules and the never-mention list in House style.
