Why teams connect BambooHR and Campfire

Keep the people, teams, and status that Campfire and BambooHR share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Campfire keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. BambooHR is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Intercompany Journal Entry, Chart of Accounts, Chart Transaction, Fixed Asset in Campfire with Employment Status, Departments and Divisions, Custom Tables, Reports in BambooHR bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in BambooHR creates or updates the matching user in Campfire within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Campfire captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to BambooHR in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Notify a team room when a deal closes, a ticket escalates, or a sync job fails.
  • 02 Route inbound lead or form submissions into the right room via a bot.
  • 03 Sync Employees and Employment Status to identity and IT systems so new hires are provisioned and departures deactivated automatically.
  • 04 Read Job Information and Departments into an ERP or planning tool so headcount, cost centers, and org structure stay current.

Common sync patterns

Where Campfire routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in BambooHR, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Campfire update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in BambooHR creates the matching user in Campfire with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

When someone is marked as leaving in BambooHR, the matching account in Campfire is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

What you can sync between BambooHR and Campfire

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

BambooHR objects Campfire objects How this pairing syncs
Departments and Divisions Org-structure list values; synced to keep cost centers and team groupings consistent across ERP, identity, and analytics systems. Invoice Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Departments and Divisions is specific to BambooHR and Invoice to Campfire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Tables Company-specific effective-dated tables (assets, training, certifications); rows read and written so custom HR data isn't trapped in the HRIS. Credit Memo Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Custom Tables is specific to BambooHR and Credit Memo to Campfire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reports Saved company reports retrievable via API; read out on a schedule to feed a warehouse without rebuilding field-by-field queries. Bank Account Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Reports is specific to BambooHR and Bank Account to Campfire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Bank Transaction Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Employees is specific to BambooHR and Bank Transaction to Campfire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Job Information Effective-dated job title, department, division, location, and reporting line; synced so org charts and provisioning systems track internal moves. Journal Entry Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Job Information is specific to BambooHR and Journal Entry to Campfire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Compensation Effective-dated pay rate, schedule, and change reason; read into planning and payroll systems with access restricted to authorized fields. Intercompany Journal Entry Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Compensation is specific to BambooHR and Intercompany Journal Entry to Campfire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BambooHR and Campfire

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

BambooHR Campfire Sub-second propagation

DetectionBambooHR notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. The Get Updated Employee IDs endpoint (last-changed timestamps) returns employees inserted, updated, or deleted since a cursor for efficient polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Campfire through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Campfire BambooHR Sub-second propagation

DetectionCampfire pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Near real-time updates via change tracking (incremental sync).

DeliveryEach detected change is written to BambooHR through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BambooHR: 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.
  • Campfire: Limits depend on the self-hosted deployment; confirm against the instance's documentation.
