Perk integration overview

The Ramp integration with Perk (formerly TravelPerk) offers a streamlined way to sync travel booking data and accounting fields, improving expense visibility and reducing manual entry. This guide explains the benefits, setup steps, and answers common questions.

Benefits of Ramp integration

Invoice attachment When Ramp matches a Perk invoice to a Ramp transaction, Ramp attaches the invoice PDF to that transaction.
Sync Up to Two Ramp Accounting Fields
You can select up to two Ramp Accounting Fields (e.g., Cost Center, Department) to sync with Perk. These fields show on the checkout page and are written back into Ramp automatically after booking.

How to set up the Ramp integration

Follow these steps to complete the setup:

Step 1: Enable integration from the Perk platform

Traveler experience

When travelers book a trip in Perk:

They will be prompted to select values for the two synced fields (if marked mandatory).
These values auto-populate into Ramp, appearing on the related expense line.

Common questions

Can we change the selected fields later?
Yes. Go to Account Settings > Integration > Ramp > Configure in Perk to update your selections. You can only sync up to two fields.

Can we rename fields in Perk?
No. Field names must be updated in Ramp. Changes made in Ramp will sync automatically to Perk, or you can run a manual sync.

Can we map Ramp fields to Perk’s Cost Center or Label?
No. Fields will only map to Perk Custom Fields.

What if a traveler selects the wrong field option?
You can update the field value directly in Ramp after the trip is booked.

What are common synced fields?

Common synced fields include Cost Center, Client Name, Department, and Event. Data typically syncs within 4 hours.

Is auto-categorization available?
No. Auto-categorization is not currently supported in V2. Ramp is gathering feedback for future improvements.
