| 29 | + |
| 30 | +To enable the integration, follow Perk’s setup guide: [Set up the Perk integration with Expensify](https://support.perk.com/hc/en-us/articles/21926013804188-Integrate-Expensify-with-Perk) |

| 36 | +## How Perk automatically creates expenses in Expensify |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +After the integration is enabled: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +1. A trip is booked in Perk. |
| 41 | +2. Perk forwards the trip costs to receipts@expensify.com. |
| 42 | +3. Expensify automatically creates a new expense for the selected member. |
| 43 | +4. The expense appears in the member's Inbox with travel details, invoices, and itineraries attached. |
| 44 | +5. The member can review the expense and add it to a report for approval. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +This eliminates the need to manually upload receipts or enter trip details. |

| 50 | +# FAQ |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## When are Perk travel expenses created in Expensify? |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Expenses are created automatically after a booking is confirmed in Perk. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +This typically happens when the traveler does not have an Expensify account or the traveler's email address is different in Perk and Expensify. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +To resolve this, confirm the traveler has an active Expensify account and make sure the email address matches in both Perk and Expensify. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Where do I manage the Perk integration settings? |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +All integration settings are managed in your Perk account. Expensify does not host the setup controls for this integration. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## Can I add out-of-pocket expenses to a Perk travel report? |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Yes, if you have additional travel costs (such as meals or transportation not booked through Perk), you can include them in the same expense report. [Learn how to add expenses to a report](https://help.expensify.com/articles/expensify-classic/expenses/Add-an-expense). |
