BambooHR to Any Payroll App Integration: How to Connect BambooHR with Your Payroll App

With data integration, new hires move from BambooHR into your payroll app as soon as a hiring manager presses the hired button, and employee updates follow the same path as soon as the record changes in BambooHR. 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. The connection runs over a near real-time API-to-API connection rather than a scheduled file transfer.

With data integration, new hires sync from BambooHR into your payroll app with the essential information needed to process payroll, and employee updates follow as soon as the record changes. 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 to your payroll app, for new hires or employee updates, is fully deployed in 6–8 weeks. 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 hired button in BambooHR, the new employee’s information appears in your payroll app automatically—nobody retypes it. Your team gets fewer payroll corrections, faster onboarding, and an end to double-data entry between HR and payroll. One biopharmaceutical company’s HR staff saves at least 25 hours a month.

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.
