BambooHR Integrations: How to Connect BambooHR to Any HR App

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 the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain.

With data integration, new hires, employee changes and terminations sync, including your custom fields, along with 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.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration of the Flexspring connector for BambooHR with your HR app deploys in 6-8 weeks for new hires or employee updates. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

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.

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. 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 Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

With data integration, 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.

The best way to connect BambooHR to your payroll app depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s—built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
