[Verified](https://flowrunner.ai/integrations/verified "What does verified mean?") · 1 trigger · 64 actions · OAuth · available [BambooHR website](https://www.bamboohr.com/) · [Platform Documentation](https://documentation.bamboohr.com/reference/get-started) · Capability data verified 2026-08-04 1. On Employee Changed fires when an employee record moves in BambooHR 2. Agent reads the changed employee and the fields that moved 3. Agent confirms the record has the details onboarding or offboarding needs 4. Agent checks whether the change touches compensation or employment status 5. Agent updates downstream systems and records routine field changes 6. Agent assembles a summary of any sensitive change for review 7. A person approves a compensation or employment-status write before it posts ## What This Integration Enables The BambooHR connector reaches across the whole employee lifecycle. Agents read the directory, get an employee by ID, list employees, and create and update employee records. They read and write employee tables such as jobInfo and compensation, manage employee and company files with categories, and record dependents. On time off, agents create requests, approve or deny them, read balances, adjust balances, and list who is out. On time tracking, they clock employees in and out and manage hour entries. Recruiting actions read and advance job applications, training actions record completions, and reporting runs ad-hoc custom reports. A set of webhook actions and the On Employee Changed trigger keep the flow reacting to change events. Some of these actions read, most write routine data, and a few touch pay and status; the connector supplies all of them, and the surrounding flow decides which ones need a person first. ### Without FlowRunner **Lifecycle events missed**: A new hire or a status change sits in HR before anyone downstream hears about it **Roster copied by hand**: The directory gets exported and pasted into headcount and payroll trackers **Sensitive writes unguarded**: A pay or status change goes in with no structured second look ### With FlowRunner **Lifecycle events routed**: A change fires a flow that starts onboarding or offboarding right away **Roster synced in the flow**: The directory feeds downstream systems as records change **Sensitive writes gated**: Compensation and employment-status changes pause for approval before they post ## Use Case Scenarios ### Onboarding Kickoff A new hire is created in BambooHR. The On Employee Changed trigger fires. The agent reads the new employee, then fans the work out: it provisions accounts in downstream systems, files the signed offer with Upload Employee File, and posts a first-day checklist to the team channel. The office manager stops re-keying the same new hire into five systems and starts the week with onboarding already in motion. ### Morning Out-of-Office Digest On a schedule, the agent calls List Who's Out to pull the employees out and the company holidays for the next stretch, then posts a clean digest to a team channel. Nobody assembles the who-is-out list by hand, and the team plans coverage from a summary that is current every morning. ### Reviewed Compensation Change A manager submits a pay adjustment through a flow. The agent gathers the employee, the current compensation row, and the proposed new value, then pauses for approval before writing. On sign-off it calls Create Table Row against the compensation table so the change is recorded. The routine assembly is automated; the write that changes someone's pay waits for a person. ## Human-in-Loop Highlight Reading the directory, listing who is out, and syncing routine fields are safe operations that a flow can run on its own. Writing to compensation or changing employment status is different: it affects pay, benefits, and someone's standing, and a wrong value is hard to walk back once payroll picks it up. This is [human-in-the-loop](https://flowrunner.ai/concepts/human-in-the-loop) at the boundary between a routine HR update and a sensitive one. Before writing a compensation row or an employment-status change, the agent pauses, assembles the employee, the current value, and the proposed value, and routes to a person through their preferred channel. The message is specific: "This would change base compensation for Dana Ruiz from the current value to a new value, effective next pay period. Approve the change, or send it back?" The agent handles the lookups and the record-keeping; a person owns every change that touches pay or status. Agent processes routinely Detects exception requiring judgment Clear match Continues automatically Ambiguous Routes to human via preferred channel Human decides Agent resumes with decision ## Agent Capabilities 64 actions ### Employee Management 6 - **Get Employee Directory** Retrieves the full employee directory with each employee's basic contact and job information such as name, job title, department, and work email. - **Get Employee By ID** Retrieves detailed information for a single employee by their BambooHR ID, including job, department, contact information, hire date, and employment status. - **List Employees** Returns a paginated list of employees with basic information; additional fields can be requested via the fields parameter. - **Create Employee** Creates a new employee record.
