The Deel integration imports Deel contractors into Pike with their contract rate as cost rate, and sends approved Pike time for hourly contractors to Deel as timesheets. Freelancer cost lands on projects at the real contract rate, so project margin is right before the invoice arrives.

Connect Deel

  1. Go to Workspace settings → Integrations → Deel.
  2. Click Add integration.
  3. Authorize Pike in the Deel popup.
Only workspace admins can connect or disconnect Deel.

Import data

On the integration page, click Import data. The stepper runs entities in dependency order, so Pike reads contractors before the timesheets that reference them. It skips entities whose Read toggle is off, names them, and links to sync settings.

What syncs

Send timesheets

Send timesheets is on by default for hourly contracts. Approved Pike time for an hourly contractor posts to Deel as a timesheet submission for the period, for the client admin to approve in Deel.

Source of truth

Once a record is linked, Deel owns the linked fields and Pike reads them back. Pike-only fields, such as project links, internal notes, allocations, and cost profiles, stay in Pike and are never overwritten.

Schedule

Pike syncs with Deel every 24 hours by default. Change the schedule in the integration settings. Import data and Refresh always run on demand.

Sync settings

While Deel is connected, the What syncs with Deel card sits under the top button row on the integration page. Each entity has a Read toggle (Deel to Pike) and, where supported, a Send toggle (Pike to Deel). Toggles save immediately. New connections start with Read on for contractors and Send timesheets on for hourly contracts.

Synced records

Every synced record shows the Deel marker, “Last synced ” or “Not synced yet”, and a Refresh action. Refresh shows only while Read is on for that entity.

Sync issues

Records that fail to sync appear in the Sync issues list on the integration page, with the record, the reason, and a Retry action. The integration never deletes Pike data on its own. A record removed in Deel is marked “Removed in Deel” in Pike, never deleted.

Disconnect

Disconnecting Deel stops syncing and keeps all imported data. Linked records keep their history.

Permissions

Synced data respects Pike roles and private projects. A private project’s tasks never sync out to anyone who cannot see the project in Pike.

Limits

  • Only approved Pike time is sent.
  • Timesheets are approved in Deel by the client admin.
  • Timesheets are sent for hourly contracts only.
