The BambooHR connector lets you connect to a BambooHR instance and access BambooHR resources using the published APIs.

Connection Setup

Following details are required to establish the connection

  1. BambooHR API URL: BambooHR service endpoint URL. This should be set to https://api.bamboohr.com/api/gateway.php/{company subdomain name}/ where {company subdomain name} is in the URL used to access your account via browser. For example, if you access BambooHR at https://mycompany.bamboohr.com, then the subdomain is "mycompany" and the API url will then be: https://api.bamboohr.com/api/gateway.php/mycompany/

  2. BambooHR API Key: API Key that will be used to establish the connection. Here's a link from BambooHR that provides more info: Getting Started With The API .

How to generate an API Key in BambooHR

Here are the steps to generate an API key in BambooHR. Please note the features may change and we recommend consulting with BambooHR for any changes.

You will need to have administrator privileges to perform the following actions.

Go to Profile > API keys

Create a new API key by selecting Add New Key Name

Provide a name for this new API key. For example, OnLink. This will help to identify where the API key is used.

 

An API key will be generated. This is the API Key you will use in the OnLink configuration.

Note that this API key is only visible here. You will no longer be able to retrieve this key after this step.
