Setup Bob HR

The Bob connector lets you connect to a Bob HR instance and access Bob HR resources using their published APIs.

Create a service type user for taking API actions, without affecting headcount or the people directory.

What is an API service user?

An API service user is a user type in Bob whose sole purpose is to manage APIs in Bob. Multiple service users can be created with unique permissions for each.

A service user stays active regardless of the status of the person who created the service user, unlike user tokens.

Configuring the connections

Following details are required to establish the connection

  1. API URL: BobHR service endpoint URL. This should be set to https://api.hibob.com/

  2. API Key: This is a concatenation of service user ID and token with a single token. For example if service user id is “SERVICE-202” and Token is “Qe8q89RwbzeS7mmhMcAsN1crM73m6MdbjewGCCUY” then API key should be:
    SERVICE-202:Qe8q89RwbzeS7mmhMcAsN1crM73m6MdbjewGCCUY
