Playroll

The Expensify-Playroll integration allows approved expenses in Expensify to automatically sync into Playroll for processing. This is a one-way integration (Expensify to Playroll only) — changes made after syncing will not sync back.

Important: Only approved expenses will sync, and expenses without receipts will not sync to Playroll.
