BambooHR Integrations: How to Connect BambooHR to Any HR App

When a hiring manager presses the hire button in BambooHR, the new employee’s information appears in your HR or payroll app automatically — nobody retypes it. Flexspring connects BambooHR to any HR app through a direct API-to-API connection, so new hires, employee changes and terminations move across in near real time rather than waiting on a scheduled file transfer.

Approved timesheets for hourly and salaried employees travel the same way, reaching your payroll app in time for each weekly or bi-weekly run. Flexspring builds, hosts and monitors the connection for you, and no internal IT resources are needed — Flexspring’s experts do all the custom data mapping, matching the field names and data syntax BambooHR and your HR app already use, including custom fields. A custom integration for new hires or employee updates deploys in 6-8 weeks. Flexspring is a BambooHR Marketplace Partner.

How the integration works

1
Scoping. You pick the use cases you need from the list above. Flexspring maps every field between the two systems, including your custom fields and business rules.
2
Direct connection. Flexspring iPaaS connects the two systems to each other over secure APIs. There are no spreadsheets to export, no files to transfer, and no manual steps in the middle.
3
Near real-time sync. When a record changes — a hire, a promotion, an approved time-off request — the change moves across in near real time rather than waiting for an overnight batch.
4
Monitoring and error handling. The integration is monitored continuously, with error handling, visibility into every transaction, and a named support contact. When either app changes their API, Flexspring updates your integration.
5
Ongoing changes. Your integration is future-proofed for ongoing enhancements without re-implementation, and adapts to custom fields, new locations, new systems and business rules.

Flexspring iPaaS does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Frequently asked questions

What does BambooHR integrate with?

BambooHR connects to any HR or payroll app through a custom Flexspring connector. New hires, employee changes and terminations move from BambooHR into your HR app automatically, along with approved timesheets for hourly and salaried employees. Flexspring builds and maintains the connection.

How do I connect BambooHR to my payroll app?

You decide which information you want to sync, and Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain, and no internal IT resources are needed.

What employee information syncs?

New hires, employee changes and terminations, including your custom fields, and complete employee records for creating profiles in your HR app. Approved timesheets for hourly and salaried employees also sync for each weekly or bi-weekly payroll run. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, background checks and assessments.

How long does the integration take?

A custom integration of the Flexspring connector for BambooHR with your HR app deploys in 6-8 weeks for new hires or employee updates. Flexspring’s experts do all the data mapping, so the work does not land on your team.

Is our employee data stored anywhere during the transfer?

No. Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Do we need IT or a developer to set this up?

No. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming how your fields should map.
