Sync BambooHR Data

Applications

The Application Object is used to represent a candidate's journey through a particular Job's recruiting process. If a Candidate applies for multiple Jobs, there will be a separate Application for each Job if the third-party integration allows it.

Docs
Attachments

The Attachment object is used to represent a file attached to a candidate.

Docs
Candidates

The Candidate object is used to represent profile information about a given Candidate. Because it is specific to a Candidate, this information stays constant across applications.

Docs
Departments

The Department object is used to represent a department within a company.

Docs
Jobs

The Job object can be used to track any jobs that are currently or will be open/closed for applications.

Docs
Job Interview Stages

The JobInterviewStage object is used to represent a particular recruiting stage for an Application. A given Application typically has the JobInterviewStage object represented in the current_stage field.

Employments

The Employment object is used to represent a job position at a company. If an integration supports historical tracking of employments, it will be reflected in the data. If not, a new Employment object will be created whenever there is a change in job title or pay. The effective_date field should be used to order Employment objects, with the most recent date corresponding to the latest employment record for an employee.

Docs
Groups

The Group object is used to represent any subset of employees across, for example, DEPARTMENT or TEAM. Employees can be in multiple Groups.

Docs
Locations

The Location object is used to represent an address that can be associated with an employee.

The TimeOff object is used to represent all employees' Time Off entries.

Docs
Time Off Balances

The TimeOffBalance object is used to represent current balances for an employee's Time Off plan.

FAQ on integrating with BambooHR’s API

What BambooHR endpoints does Merge interact with?

Merge interacts with several BambooHR endpoints, including Employee Data, Employment Information, Groups, and more, to pull and sync relevant data. You can also leverage Merge’s Authenticated Passthrough Request feature for endpoints that fall outside of Merge’s scope.

Learn more about the endpoints Merge supports.

How often does Merge sync data with BambooHR?

Merge can sync BambooHR data at various intervals, depending on your plan and the Common Model you’re interested in. That said, Merge typically supports hourly to daily syncs for BambooHR.

If you need to sync data outside of these schedules, you can trigger immediate syncs using the Force Resync endpoint, or set up webhooks for real-time updates.

Learn more about Merge’s sync frequencies for BambooHR.

What customers use Merge’s BambooHR integration?

Countless customers use the integration. This includes Ramp, 15Five, BILL, Bonusly, and Electric.

You can learn about how they use Merge’s BambooHR integration—and several other HRIS integrations—by visiting this page. 

Can I map custom BambooHR fields?‍

Yes, with Merge's Field Mapping feature you can map custom BambooHR fields to Merge's Common Models, ensuring flexible data syncs between customers' instances of BambooHR and your product​​.

Can I retrieve raw BambooHR data?‍

Yes, Merge allows you to access raw data through the Remote Data feature, which retrieves data from BambooHR in its original format as provided by the API​​.

Is Merge Single-Tenant or Multi-Tenant?

Merge offers both Multi-Tenant and Single-Tenant environments. The Multi-Tenant option is the default for most customers and is hosted on AWS servers, while the Single-Tenant environment is available for purchase as part of the Enterprise plan. Single-tenant environments offer dedicated infrastructure for additional security and customization​​.

How much does it cost to integrate with BambooHR using Merge?

It depends on the pricing plan you choose. Merge offers a Launch Plan, which is free for the first 3 production-linked accounts. If you need more, the cost is $650/month for up to 10 linked accounts, and $65 per account after that. Larger-scale users can explore the Professional or Enterprise plans, which offer additional features and support. 

For more details, visit Merge's pricing page.

Is BambooHR a Merge customer?

Yes, Merge works with BambooHR and many other enterprise companies, including Remote, Ramp, Korn Ferry, Handshake, Brex, and Drata.

How can I use a BambooHR integration?

The use cases largely depend on the product you offer. That said, it can help you auto-provision users in your product; streamline gifting workflows; analyze employee compensation; assign trainings to employees on time, and more.

Meta Endpoint

Programmatically access required schemas

Third-party providers require specific (and often different) fields to write data to their APIs, making your code a mess.

Dynamically fetch required data schemas from Merge’s /meta endpoint to make POST or PATCH requests that just work.
