Learn about Truv statuses and processes for retrieving, processing, and writing data.
Overview
Truv works using Tasks on connected accounts to collect user information. Tasks use Link connections with providers to perform actions, such as retrieving and writing data. When connecting to providers, Truv processes user data in stages. Find information for Tasks and data processing below.
- Task status lifecycle - Sequencing and error descriptions
- Data processing stages - Approximate time and duration for processing data
Task status lifecycle
When users first connect payroll accounts using Truv Bridge, Truv creates a Link. This connection to payroll providers has a unique ID value, the link ID or access_token.
Truv uses the access_token value with Links to collect reports and initiate data refreshes. Each action when working with Links creates a Task. Truv then initiates the request on the payroll provider before continuing.
Each section below covers Task statuses and definitions.
Task statuses
Truv Tasks go through the following sequential status updates. Read the description for each status in the list below.
new → login → mfa → base_parse → full_parse → done

Data processing stages
Truv processes data using various stages. Large documents and certain formats may require longer median times. View the sections below for descriptions and median processing times.
When using VOIE endpoints, data from login is available without additional processing. For all data, use webhooks or status update API endpoints to track Tasks.
Processing stages
Tasks change status over time through Truv processing. Performance may result in one of the error states below during each respective stage.
| Name | Approximate time to complete | Description |
|---|---|---|
login | < 10 seconds | User authentication with payroll provider |
mfa | 10 - 30 seconds | Payroll provider multi-factor authentication request from user |
base_parse | ~ 30 seconds | Collecting all basic information about identity, employment, and list of paystubs with pay dates |
full_parse | < 45 seconds, up to 5 minutes | Downloading and parsing paystubs, W2s, and income sources, data processing is in background after successful authentication and closing Truv Bridge |
switch_deposit | ~ 30 seconds | Updating pay allocations and specified distributions within user account |
Median stage times
The stages below process data with the following median times. Processing durations are approximations and may vary.
- Login - 5 to 15 seconds
- Base parse - 30 to 60 seconds
- Full parse - 1 to 5 minutes
Note
Each task has a maximum limit of 20 minutes to complete.
