Import from BambooHR
Connect BambooHR with an API key and bring in people, job, pay and status history, emergency contacts, time off balances and requests, then review and import.
Squadra HR reads BambooHR through its API with a key you create. It only reads, and you can delete the key in BambooHR at any time.
Create the key
Section titled “Create the key”- Sign in to BambooHR as a full admin. The key sees what its user sees, so a key from a manager leaves people and fields out.
- Click your name at the bottom left and choose API keys.
- Add a key named Squadra HR and copy it.
Connect
Section titled “Connect”- In Squadra HR, open Company > Import data and choose BambooHR.
- Type your company domain: for
saltpan.bamboohr.com, typesaltpan. - Paste the key and choose Connect and read BambooHR.
The review appears a few seconds later. Nothing is saved until you approve it.
What comes across
Section titled “What comes across”| From BambooHR | Becomes |
|---|---|
| The employee list, current and former | People, with their status |
| Job information table | Job history |
| Compensation table | Pay history |
| Employment status table | Status history, including terminations |
| Emergency contacts table | Emergency contacts |
| Time off balances on today’s date | Opening balances (discretionary policies have none) |
| Time off requests from two years back to next year | Leave history |
| Reports to | Managers |
If the key may not read a table, such as compensation, that part is left out and the review says so.
Afterwards
Section titled “Afterwards”Under Connections you can import again at any time, sync every night until a date, or remove the connection. Removing deletes the key here. Delete it in BambooHR too.
If you’d rather not create a key, choose Upload an export instead and use BambooHR’s custom reports.
