CONNECTOR OVERVIEW ## What you can integrate and automate with BambooHR Teams can integrate BambooHR employee records, time‑off and time‑tracking data, reports and employee files to automate hiring, onboarding, offboarding, payroll exports and compliance reporting. Use Cyclr’s low‑code builder to map employee fields, call report endpoints and subscribe to BambooHR webhooks so workflows run automatically for each tenant. ### Why use Cyclr? Cyclr delivers embedded integration delivery, reusable orchestration and tenant-aware credential management so you can publish BambooHR‑based automations inside your app. Build once, reuse across customers, enforce governance and expose vetted methods as MCP tools under your product controls. PRODUCT USE CASES ## Use cases — what teams typically build Create customer‑facing automations that provision accounts, sync directories, trigger onboarding sequences and route time‑off or payroll data. Combine BambooHR reads, writes and webhooks into governed workflows you can embed and manage across many customer accounts. ### Automated new-hire provisioning When a hire is created in BambooHR, create user accounts and provision apps; uses employee.created webhook and employee record reads. ### Keep SaaS user directory in sync Regularly sync BambooHR employee directory to your app user list using employees/directory and scheduled report calls. ### Automate time‑off and approvals Subscribe to time‑off and employee.updated events, push approvals to calendar and downstream payroll systems. ORCHESTRATION ## How BambooHR works with Cyclr Cyclr sits between your SaaS product and BambooHR to handle authentication, govern access and orchestrate every API call per customer, at scale. 1. 1 ### Your SaaS product Your app requests an action for a specific customer. 2. 2 ### Cyclr orchestration Cyclr authenticates, applies policies and routes the request. 3. 3 ### BambooHR BambooHR processes the request and returns a response to your app. Customer-specific authentication · Governed data movement · Centralized visibility and audit CONNECTOR COVERAGE ## Available connector capabilities Explore BambooHR methods you can orchestrate through Cyclr. Search connector methods INTEGRATIONS + MCP TOOLS ### Use any BambooHR method in an integration or as an MCP tool Every available connector method can be added to an integration workflow built with Cyclr or exposed as a governed MCP tool. Use the same multi-tenant authentication, orchestration and governance layer to deliver customer-facing integrations and AI-agent capabilities inside your SaaS product.

Page until a page returns fewer rows. #### Rate limits BambooHR may throttle heavy traffic; 429 or 503 responses possible. Use exponential backoff and honor Retry‑After headers when provided. IMPLEMENTATION ## Authentication at a glance Supports API key via HTTP Basic auth and OAuth 2.0 for third‑party/partner apps; requests are scoped by user permissions. Authentication methodAPI key (Basic auth) or OAuth 2.0Credential required Company subdomain plus either API key or OAuth client ID, client secret and redirect URI. **Before you begin:** API keys are user‑scoped; third‑party partner integrations should use OAuth and follow BambooHR developer terms.

How does authentication with BambooHR work for embedded integrations? *↓* Use an API key with HTTP Basic auth for user‑scoped access or register an OAuth 2.0 app for third‑party/partner integrations; requests inherit the API user’s permissions. Can I embed BambooHR integrations for many customer accounts? *↓* Yes. Cyclr supports tenant-aware connections so you can store per‑customer BambooHR credentials and run isolated workflows for each account. Can supported BambooHR methods be exposed as governed MCP tools? *↓* Yes. You can expose vetted BambooHR reads, writes and webhook triggers as governed MCP tools inside Cyclr, enforcing access controls and reuse across tenants.
