Connecting your Deel and Expensify Profiles
Deel uses your email address to find a match between your Expensify and Deel profiles. Because most Deel accounts are connected to a personal email while most Expensify accounts are connected to work email, you can help this process by adding your work email to your Deel profile
If your Deel and Expensify accounts both use the same email address you do not need to do anything. Deel will match your profiles automatically when the integration is set-up by the company you do work for.
To add an alternate email to your Deel profile, follow these steps:
✅ Step 1: Log in to Deel
✅ Step 2: Select your contract to open the Contract Overview
✅ Step 3: Select the Contract Details tab
✅ Step 4: Scroll down to the Alternate Email field
✅ Step 5: Click the Edit button
Be sure to enter the email address connected to your Expensify profile. Deel will send a confirmation email to your primary email address to confirm the update.
