Frequently Asked Paylocity Driver Questions

Learn more about Paylocity drivers & connectors for data and analytics integration


The Paylocity driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Paylocity, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The Paylocity driver abstracts the complexities of Paylocity APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Paylocity data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a Paylocity Driver is different than connecting with Paylocity through other means. Paylocity API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Paylocity integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Paylocity Drivers offer codeless access to live Paylocity data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Paylocity data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Paylocity data. We manage all of the complexities of Paylocity integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to Paylocity via CData Connect Cloud. With Connect Cloud you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Paylocity from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Paylocity is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Paylocity is updated.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Paylocity, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Paylocity driver offers full-featured Paylocity data connectivity. The CData Paylocity drivers support extensive Paylocity integration, providing access to all of the Paylocity data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Paylocity data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Paylocity driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Paylocity API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Paylocity as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Paylocity is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Paylocity looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Paylocity connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

The Paylocity drivers and connectors offer comprehensive access to Paylocity data. Our Paylocity driver exposes static and dynamic data and metadata, providing universal access to Paylocity data for any enterprise analytics or data mangement use. To explore the Paylocity driver data model, please review the edition-specific Paylocity driver documentation.

Using the CData Paylocity drivers and connectors, Paylocity can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Paylocity data connectivity. Explore some of the more popular Paylocity data integrations online.

Additionally, since Paylocity supported by CData Connect Cloud, we enable all kinds of new Paylocity cloud integrations.

Paylocity Analytics and Paylocity Cloud BI integration is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Paylocity data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

Paylocity data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate Paylocity data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental Paylocity replication. In addition, our Paylocity drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. The best way to integrate Paylocity with Excel is by using the CData Connect Cloud Excel Add-In. The Paylocity Excel Add-In provides easy Paylocity integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Simply configure your connection to Paylocity from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access Paylocity just like you would another native Excel data source.
