What Stacksync syncs in BambooHR.

These objects sync between BambooHR and any connected system, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution. Custom fields are picked up from the live schema where BambooHR exposes them.

Employees
The core person record with personal and work fields; read out to identity, payroll, and IT systems, and written back from recruiting or onboarding tools.
Job Information
Effective-dated job title, department, division, location, and reporting line; synced so org charts and provisioning systems track internal moves.
Compensation
Effective-dated pay rate, schedule, and change reason; read into planning and payroll systems with access restricted to authorized fields.
Time Off
Requests, balances, and policies; read for absence calendars and capacity planning, with approved requests written from an external scheduling tool.
Employment Status
Effective-dated hire, leave, and termination status; drives automated provisioning and deprovisioning in downstream identity and license systems.
Departments and Divisions
Org-structure list values; synced to keep cost centers and team groupings consistent across ERP, identity, and analytics systems.
Custom Tables
Company-specific effective-dated tables (assets, training, certifications); rows read and written so custom HR data isn't trapped in the HRIS.
Reports
Saved company reports retrievable via API; read out on a schedule to feed a warehouse without rebuilding field-by-field queries.
API surface

How Stacksync connects to BambooHR.

The connector runs on BambooHR's native API. Stacksync manages authentication, rate limits, retries, and schema changes so your team does not maintain integration code.

Connection
BambooHR API (REST, per-company subdomain)
Authentication
API key per user over HTTP Basic auth (key as username), scoped to that user's permission level in BambooHR; OAuth/OpenID available for SSO-enabled apps
Change detection
The Get Updated Employee IDs endpoint (last-changed timestamps) returns employees inserted, updated, or deleted since a cursor for efficient polling; webhooks can fire on monitored field changes
Rate limits
Requests are rate-limited per API key with standard REST throttling (429 on excess); bulk reads are best done through saved Reports or the updated-IDs delta endpoint rather than per-employee calls.

Use cases

What teams run on the BambooHR connector.

BambooHR is the HRIS of record for small and mid-market companies, owned by People Ops with IT and Finance as constant consumers. It holds Employees, effective-dated Job Information, Compensation, Time Off, and Employment Status — the master people data that identity systems, payroll, ERPs, and warehouses all need to stay consistent with.

  • HR / People operations
  • IT administrators
  • Finance and payroll
  • Data engineering
  • Workplace and facilities teams

  1. Sync Employees and Employment Status to identity and IT systems so new hires are provisioned and departures deactivated automatically.

  2. Read Job Information and Departments into an ERP or planning tool so headcount, cost centers, and org structure stay current.

  3. Push approved Time Off into capacity and scheduling systems so project plans reflect real availability.

  4. Feed Compensation and custom-table data to a warehouse for HR analytics with field-level access control.

  5. Provision and deprovision downstream accounts automatically by syncing Employees and Employment Status changes to identity and IT systems on hire, move, and termination.

  6. Keep ERP cost centers and org structure current by reading Job Information, Departments, and Divisions as they change in the HRIS.

FAQ

BambooHR connector FAQ

What can I sync with the BambooHR connector?

BambooHR's core objects — Employees, Job Information, Compensation, Time Off and custom fields — can sync with any of 302 other systems. Every integration is real-time and bidirectional, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution.

How does Stacksync connect to BambooHR?

Via BambooHR API (REST, per-company subdomain), authenticated with API key per user over HTTP Basic auth (key as username), scoped to that user's permission level in BambooHR; OAuth/OpenID available for SSO-enabled apps. Changes are detected as follows — the Get Updated Employee IDs endpoint (last-changed timestamps) returns employees inserted, updated, or deleted since a cursor for efficient polling; webhooks can fire on monitored field changes. Stacksync manages rate limits, retries, and schema changes automatically.

Is the BambooHR connector two-way?

Yes. Changes made in BambooHR propagate to the connected system and vice versa, in milliseconds. One-way flows are also supported when a direction should stay read-only.

How long does a BambooHR integration take to set up?

Most BambooHR integrations go live in minutes: authenticate BambooHR and the other system, pick objects and fields, and enable the sync. No code and no infrastructure to manage.

Is BambooHR data secure in transit?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliant. BambooHR data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means records are not retained after a sync operation.
