Why teams connect BambooHR and Wrike

Keep the people, teams, and status that Wrike 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 Wrike 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 Workflows, Spaces, Tasks, Folders & Projects in Wrike with Time Off, Employment Status, Departments and Divisions, Custom Tables in BambooHR bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in BambooHR creates or updates the matching user in Wrike within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Wrike 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 Sync Comments and status changes from Wrike into a database so downstream dashboards and tools react to project progress in near real time.
  • 02 Two-way sync of Tasks and their Custom Fields between a Wrike project and Postgres so ops teams work in SQL while project owners stay in Wrike.
  • 03 Feed Compensation and custom-table data to a warehouse for HR analytics with field-level access control.
  • 04 Sync Employees and Employment Status to identity and IT systems so new hires are provisioned and departures deactivated automatically.

Common sync patterns

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

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

What you can sync between BambooHR and Wrike

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 Wrike 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. Custom Fields Typed fields (Text, Numeric, Date, DropDown, Contacts, Checkbox) defined at account or space level; mapped to database columns, with values written by field ID. Employment Status is specific to BambooHR and Custom Fields to Wrike — 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. Comments Discussion and activity entries attached to Tasks and Folders; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Departments and Divisions is specific to BambooHR and Comments to Wrike — 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. Timelogs Time-tracking entries logged against Tasks; read for billing and utilization reporting or written back when hours are recorded elsewhere. Custom Tables is specific to BambooHR and Timelogs to Wrike — 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. Contacts Account members and user groups referenced by task responsibles and authors; read to resolve IDs to names and email addresses. Reports is specific to BambooHR and Contacts to Wrike — 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. Workflows Sets of custom statuses grouped into stages (Active, Completed, Cancelled, Deferred); read to map task status transitions to database values. Employees is specific to BambooHR and Workflows to Wrike — 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. Spaces Top-level containers that hold Folders, Projects, and their members; used to scope which Folders a given sync covers. Job Information is specific to BambooHR and Spaces to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BambooHR and Wrike

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

Wrike BambooHR Sub-second propagation

DetectionWrike notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks scoped to a folder, a space, or the whole account fire on events like TaskCreated, TaskStatusChanged, and FolderCreated, with event.

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.
  • Wrike: Approximately 400 requests/minute per user (estimated on a per-second basis) with a higher per-IP ceiling; exceeding the limit or tripping Wrike's internal overload protection returns HTTP 429, handled with exponential backoff.

How the BambooHR and Wrike connectors work

BambooHR

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.

Wrike

Integration surface
REST API v4 (JSON), single account endpoint such as www.wrike.com/api/v4; the data-center host (US or EU) comes from the OAuth token response, plus REST-managed Webhooks
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for multi-user apps (Authorization header carrying access_token and requested scopes), and a legacy Permanent Access Token for single-account and testing use
Change detection
Webhooks scoped to a folder, a space, or the whole account fire on events like TaskCreated, TaskStatusChanged, and FolderCreated, with event filtering and custom payload fields; polling the task updatedDate is the fallback
