Automate Deel

Deel runs contracts, payroll and time off for employees and contractors across countries, which leaves a lot to keep track of. Get time-off requests in Slack the moment they're made, a morning list of timesheets waiting for review, and an email when a contract is created or ends. Describe what you want to your AI assistant, check what it will do, and it keeps running.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: whenever someone requests time off in Deel, post their name, the dates and the leave type to #team-ops in Slack.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in Deel

Leave requests reach your team as they come in, timesheets get reviewed before pay runs, and contract changes don't go unnoticed. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.

The moment it happens

Post Deel time-off requests to Slack

The moment an employee or contractor asks for time off, the request is in your team's channel.

See how it works

Daily

Get a morning list of timesheets to review

Each day you see which timesheets are still waiting, so contractors get paid on time.

See how it works

The moment it happens

Get an email when a Deel contract starts or ends

You hear about new and terminated contracts as they happen, without checking Deel.

See how it works Your own logic

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with Deel, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any Deel automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Deel should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

Your own rules
Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.
Any number of apps
One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.
AI where it helps
Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.
On a schedule or on each event
Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every week, check Deel contracts ending in the next 30 days and tell me which ones have no renewal started.

When a contractor submits an invoice in Deel, post the amount and contractor name to our #finance Slack channel.

Every month, export approved Deel time off and contractor payments to Google Sheets, and email a summary per team to each manager through Gmail.

Beyond chat

Have Deel work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Deel to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Deel

You connect Deel with an organization token generated in Deel's Developer Center. You pick its scopes when you create it.

Deel

HR / Global payroll & EOR

In Deel, open Apps & Integrations or the Developer Center, then Access Tokens.
Choose Generate new token, pick Organization token and select the scopes, such as time-off:read, timesheets:read, contracts:read and webhooks:write.
Copy the token right away, because Deel shows it only once.
In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the token as a secret.

Good to know

Deel limits that affect automations

Only users with the Org Admin or IT Developer Admin role can create tokens.
Use an organization token. A personal token stops working when the person who created it leaves the company.
Time-off and contract alerts use Deel webhooks, so the token needs webhooks:write in addition to the read scopes.

FAQ

Questions about automating Deel

What can ClickRuntime see in Deel?

Only what the token's scopes allow. These automations read time off, timesheets and contracts, and register webhooks so Deel can send events.

Are Deel alerts real time?

Time-off requests and contract changes arrive through Deel webhooks, so they're posted as soon as Deel sends the event. The timesheet list runs once a day.

Should I use an organization token or a personal token?

An organization token. Personal tokens stop working when their creator leaves, which would quietly stop your automations.

Do I need AI for Deel automations?

No. These alerts and lists run without it. If you add a summary step, it uses the AI that comes with every ClickRuntime plan, so you don't need your own AI key.

Can I test with Deel's sandbox first?

Deel has a sandbox environment with its own tokens. Generate a sandbox token there if you want to try things before using live data.

Is this a Deel connector for ChatGPT or Claude?

Not for chatting with Deel data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Deel while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Deel event.
