Why teams connect BambooHR and Sysaid

Keep the people, teams, and status that Sysaid 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 Sysaid 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 Service Requests, Problems, Changes, Users in Sysaid with Job Information, Compensation, Time Off, Employment Status in BambooHR bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in BambooHR creates or updates the matching user in Sysaid within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Sysaid 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 Create SysAid Incidents from monitoring or error-tracking alerts, then write status and resolution back so both systems stay aligned.
  • 02 Sync Users, Groups, and Companies from an HRIS or identity provider so requester and agent records, departments, and managers stay current in SysAid.
  • 03 Push approved Time Off into capacity and scheduling systems so project plans reflect real availability.
  • 04 Feed Compensation and custom-table data to a warehouse for HR analytics with field-level access control.

Common sync patterns

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

When someone changes teams or managers in BambooHR, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Sysaid 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 Sysaid 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 Sysaid is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

What you can sync between BambooHR and Sysaid

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 Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Employment Status Effective-dated hire, leave, and termination status; drives automated provisioning and deprovisioning in downstream identity and license systems. Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Employment Status is specific to BambooHR and Service Requests to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Departments and Divisions Org-structure list values; synced to keep cost centers and team groupings consistent across ERP, identity, and analytics systems. Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Departments and Divisions is specific to BambooHR and Problems to Sysaid — 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. Changes Change records (type=change) with approval and scheduling fields; synced two-way to drive CAB review and deployment workflows. Custom Tables is specific to BambooHR and Changes to Sysaid — 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. Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Reports is specific to BambooHR and Users to Sysaid — 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. Assets Hardware and software inventory; read out to a warehouse or written from a discovery or CMDB source of truth. Employees is specific to BambooHR and Assets to Sysaid — 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. Configuration Items (CIs) CMDB entries and their relationships; synced with an external CMDB or asset database for one inventory view. Job Information is specific to BambooHR and Configuration Items (CIs) to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BambooHR and Sysaid

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 Sysaid 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 Sysaid through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Sysaid BambooHR Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

How the BambooHR and Sysaid connectors work

BambooHR

Integration surface
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

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
