BambooHR Integration

Integration Summary

BambooHR is an all-in-one HR software made for businesses and their employees. The platform is a great way to record and analyse people-based data, manage important issues such as compensation and develop company culture, all in one place.

If your company uses BambooHR, it’s likely that all of your employees will be listed on there. Our integration with BambooHR allows an automatic sync between platforms – making the setting up and maintenance of user profiles on Learn Amp a seamless experience.

Main Features

Syncing users is seamless and efficient, eliminating any need for manual work.
All of your company’s employees that are in BambooHR are automatically synced into Learn Amp.
In the future, when new users are added into your company’s BambooHR system, they’ll automatically be added into Learn Amp too.
Standard fields such as an employee’s name, job title, and team are also pulled into Learn Amp.
If an employee’s details (such as job title or team) change in BambooHR, these changes will be automatically reflected in Learn Amp too.
You can choose when to invite users from your BambooHR system into Learn Amp, so there’s no rush or need to do so immediately.

Syncing Additional Information

Yes, It is possible to sync additional or different data points from BambooHR in to Learn Amp.

Please Note: These requests will be handled by your Implementation Coach and will require custom development work to be undertaken by our technical team. The time taken to complete this work is chargeable or can be deducted from your Implementation budget at your Coaches' discretion.

Known Limitations/ Considerations

Team Managers: The Integration does not have the ability sync Team/Department managers in to Learn Amp.

Team managers can be configured within Learn Amp. Your Implementation Coach can provide further details on this.

Team Hierarchy: Learn Amp will create a team for each of the individual departments that are stored in your BambooHR account. These will be presented as a flat structure in your Learn Amp account and will not consider any parent/child relationships between your departments.

However, once you have completed your initial sync, you will be able to easily create parent/child relationships with your teams in Learn Amp which will be saved moving forward. Your Implementation Coach can provide further details on this.

How the Platforms Connect

Learn Amp will generate a unique webhook URL that you can use to create a series of subscriptions based on employee update events in BambooHR. When an event subscription is triggered, BambooHR will automatically sync any new or updated user information to Learn Amp.

Integration set-up

Integration in-flow

Permissions/Scopes Required

For our integration with BambooHR to work effectively, we ask you grant permissions to webhook subscriptions.

Required Stakeholders

To set up our Integration with BambooHR, you will need somebody with administrator level access to your BambooHR account. This person will also need administrator level access to your Learn Amp Live account for the period of time in which the Integration is being set up.

Set up Instructions

A user with administrator level access will be invited to connect to BambooHR using an OpenID connect flow. Once the account is connected, the integration will use this user's permissions to authenticate and make API calls to BambooHR. No API key is required.

Full instructions on how to set up the BambooHR integration can be found within your Learn Amp account. Please go to yourdomain.learnamp.com/en/integrations/people_hr

Other Frequently Asked Questions

Providing you have all of the webhooks event subscriptions enabled as per the integration set up instructions, BambooHR should send the updated information over to Learn Amp. This will happen according to the webhook schedule you have configured in BambooHR upon integration setup.

Should the updated Information still not appear in Learn Amp, press the ‘Import all from BambooHR’ button on the BambooHR integration page within your Learn Amp account.

You should always create new users or update existing users information in BambooHR, not In Learn Amp. Newly created or updated user information in BambooHR will automatically be synced to BambooHR.

Learn Amp updates a user’s status by looking up the ‘status’ field in BambooHR. When a user’s status is changed to from ‘active’ to ‘inactive’, the user is deactivated in Learn Amp.

You can configure the sync schedule in Learn Amp when adding the Webhook. Within ‘When should the data be sent?’ please select, how often you would like the notification to be sent.
For example, to send notification once a day at midnight, from Hour dropdown select 12 AM.

A user's primary team will be pulled in via the department's field of the BambooHR integration.

If you want a user to be part of any other team (i.e. a secondary, or tertiary team), then you will need to add users to these teams in Learn Amp.
