Payhawk automates spend management through artificial intelligence and offers smart corporate cards, expense management, and invoice processing all in one platform.

The Payhawk integration

The Payhawk integration automatically gathers travel expense data and invoices from Perk as soon as you book a trip. Payhawk is updated with Perk invoices every hour.

Payhawk can only import new invoices. To import past invoices, contact the Payhawk team. 

• Once the integration is turned on, Payhawk can automatically retrieve and process expense documents issued by Perk.
• If a Payhawk card or another card is used as the payment method, an invoice is generated for each booking once the trip is booked and automatically sent to Payhawk, where it is assigned to the correct employee. Your payment profile billing cycle must be set to Instant for this to work.
• If a bank transfer is used as the payment method, the invoice generated on a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly basis is automatically sent to Payhawk and assigned to the travel expense manager as set up on Payhawk.
• You can book a trip for multiple employees on Perk and import it into Payhawk. Invoices are assigned to the person who booked the trip.
• You can manage per diems on Payhawk. For more information, see Payhawk’s Configuring per diem expense types article. This is not automated by the integration.
• To learn more about splitting expenses into multiple line items, see Payhawk’s Splitting expenses article. 

For more information about the integration, see the Overview of the Payhawk-TravelPerk integration article.

Note: Bookings and invoices are imported and assigned using email addresses. Make sure that all employees use the same email address in Perk and Payhawk.
