TriNet- How to link your account

Introduction

Ready to supercharge your HR workflow? The TriNet integration with Electric's IT Hub creates a seamless connection that automatically syncs employee data, streamlining your onboarding and offboarding processes like never before.

By linking TriNet with the IT Hub, you'll eliminate manual data entry, reduce errors, and ensure your team has the tools they need from day one. Think of it as creating a direct current between your HR system and IT operations—smooth, efficient, and completely automated. Let's get you connected!

Prerequisites

Before diving in, make sure you have the right access level:

• You must be an Integration Administrator in your company's TriNet instance

• If you're not an admin, ensure someone with admin access has shared their credentials with you

Integrations

Electric powers up both TriNet solutions—whether you're using TriNet PEO (Professional Employer Organization) for comprehensive HR outsourcing or TriNet HR Plus (ASO) for flexible HR technology and support. No matter which TriNet service energizes your organization, we've got the right integration path to keep your HR and IT systems perfectly synchronized.

TriNet PEO

Feature Details

The TriNet integration requires three essential credentials to establish a secure connection:

• Client ID: Your unique application identifier that tells TriNet which integration is requesting access.

• Client Secret: A secure key that authenticates your integration requests—think of it as your digital handshake with TriNet.

• Company ID: Your organization's specific identifier within TriNet that ensures data flows to the right place.

Once these credentials are configured, your TriNet employee data will automatically sync with the IT Hub, triggering onboarding tasks for new hires and offboarding workflows for departing employees. It's IT automation that just works!
