ChangeEngine connects to Gusto so audiences stay current for small businesses, programs start on real events, and every send reports back.

Gusto is a payroll, benefits and HR platform for small US businesses.
See every integration →Employee, job title, department, location, manager, start date, employment type, work email, mobile number and your custom fields.
You pick the fields that sync and whether the connection is read-only or also writes approved fields back to Gusto. Sensitive fields report coverage only, never values, when your team asks an AI assistant about them.
Editors only see what their role allows, and every change is logged.
When something changes in your system of record, the right people hear about it on the right channel. Nobody on the People team presses send.

Every person in Gusto becomes one ChangeEngine profile. Departments, locations, managers and custom fields turn into audiences you can combine, like every people manager in two locations, and they update on every sync.
Small teams do not have a comms department. ChangeEngine gives one person a welcome journey, an anniversary program and a monthly update that run on their own once they are switched on.
Most teams start read-only. If you want ChangeEngine to send data back to Gusto, you approve write access for specific fields, every change is logged, and you can switch it off at any time.
Your services team runs the setup with IT. When you need something that is not in the box, your forward deployed engineer builds it.
Meet the forward deployed engineer →Your Gusto admin approves access for ChangeEngine, read-only or read and write. We send the exact permission checklist ahead of the call, so IT knows what it is signing off on.
On a working call, we map the Gusto fields you want to use: department, location, manager and start date. You choose what comes across and what stays in Gusto.
