| 40 | +## How the Deel integration with Expensify works |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +By connecting Expensify to Deel, you can use Expensify’s approval workflows to control which expenses are eligible for reimbursement. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +- Deel scans for approved expenses from matched users in selected Workspaces |
| 45 | +- Only approved expenses in Expensify are eligible for syncing |
| 46 | +- Expenses are imported into Deel for reimbursement processing |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Key details: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +- **One-way sync:** Expenses approved in Expensify sync to Deel. Expenses created in Deel do not sync back to Expensify. |
| 51 | +- **Approval workflow:** Only approved expenses are synced |
| 52 | +- **Sync timing:** Expense syncing is not immediate and depends on Deel processing |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +--- |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +## What happens after you integrate Deel and Expensify |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +- Deel continuously scans the connected Expensify Workspaces |
| 59 | +- Approved expenses are synced to Deel |
| 60 | +- Expenses are processed in Deel for reimbursement |
