Integrate TriNet Into Your Product Without an API
The Integration Barrier
TriNet is a PEO that handles HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance for small and mid-size businesses — but it doesn’t offer a public API for third-party products to build on. If your platform serves customers running on TriNet and you need payroll summaries, benefits data, or compliance documents surfaced inside your product, there’s no official integration path available. Deck connects to TriNet using your customer’s credentials and pulls the data your product needs without any API agreement or developer work.

FAQ
Does TriNet have a public API?
TriNet doesn’t make an API available for product integrations. Deck reads from the TriNet portal directly, which means your product gets the data without needing an official integration path to exist.
What TriNet data can Deck extract?
Payroll run summaries, benefits enrollment details, HR compliance documents, employee profiles, individual pay stubs, and time-off and leave balances.
Can Deck pull TriNet data for multiple customer accounts?
Yes. Every customer account gets its own session in Deck. Your API call specifies the account; Deck returns the data.
How does Deck handle TriNet’s MFA?
Deck Vault resolves authentication — including multi-factor steps — at runtime. Sessions run unattended after initial setup.
Is it secure to access TriNet through Deck?
Credentials never travel in plain text. Deck Vault encrypts them at rest and in transit, and extracted data is forwarded to your endpoint without being retained.
