Zenefits to PostgreSQL Integration

How Datrise loads Zenefits into PostgreSQL

Datrise syncs Zenefits's employees, departments, employments, time off requests, benefits enrollments, and compensation records into PostgreSQL as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in jsonb columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as timestamptz.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on each entity's updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional declarative range partitioning by load date for high-volume tables. PostgreSQL folds unquoted identifiers to lowercase, so Datrise normalizes mixed-case source fields to snake_case.

Ideal for operational analytics and application backends that need fresh, queryable copies of your data.

Endpoints

Zenefits: HR, benefits, and payroll administration.

PostgreSQL: Open-source relational database with strong SQL and extensions.

How Zenefits entities map to PostgreSQL

Zenefits entity	PostgreSQL object	Notes
employees	`zenefits_employees`	id PK · custom fields → jsonb columns
departments	`zenefits_departments`	id PK · linked to zenefits_employees
employments	`zenefits_employments`	id PK · linked to zenefits_employees
time off requests	`zenefits_time_off_requests`	id PK · linked to zenefits_employees

FAQ

How does Datrise handle Zenefits's custom fields in PostgreSQL?

Flexible values are stored as jsonb columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native PostgreSQL types.

How does the Zenefits to PostgreSQL sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on each entity's updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE.
