CONNECTOR OVERVIEW ## Overview Teams can integrate or automate employee lifecycle data, time-off requests, tasks, documents, hiring records and workforce planning between bob HR and other systems. Cyclr lets product teams embed those integrations in-app, manage per-customer installations, handle token rotation and subscribe to bob webhooks for near-real-time event-driven flows. ### Why use Cyclr? Cyclr provides an embedded delivery layer, reusable orchestration templates and multi-tenant governance so product teams can ship customer-facing bob HR automations quickly. Expose supported bob API actions as governed MCP tools, enforce tenant-specific permissions and reuse templates for every customer account. PRODUCT USE CASES ## Use cases Build repeatable templates for common HR workflows — bulk employee syncs, onboarding document pushes, time-off approvals, and hiring data exports — then clone and customize those templates per customer to accelerate delivery and reduce maintenance. ### Provision and update employee records Create or update employee records in bob HR from your app; use People API reads to keep customer accounts synchronized. ### Push onboarding documents and tasks Create employee documents and onboarding tasks in bob Docs and Tasks modules when a customer provisions a new hire. ### Surface and sync time-off requests Subscribe to Time off webhooks and reflect requests and approvals into your product or payroll systems. ORCHESTRATION ## How bob HR works with Cyclr Cyclr sits between your SaaS product and bob HR 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 ### bob HR bob HR 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 bob HR methods you can orchestrate through Cyclr. Search connector methods INTEGRATIONS + MCP TOOLS ### Use any bob HR 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.

Service Users: service_user_id and service_user_token. Method categories Read, search, create, update employee data; bulk read endpoints; webhooks; cursor and no-pagination endpoints. [View vendor API documentation →](https://apidocs.hibob.com/?utm_source=cyclr) ### Pagination and rate limits #### Pagination Some endpoints use cursor-based pagination; others (people/search bulk reads) return all matches in one call with no pagination. Check each endpoint contract for details. #### Rate limits HiBob applies per-endpoint limits (for example people/search example: 50 requests/min) and returns X-RateLimit headers; WAF-based blocking applies on repeated auth failures. IMPLEMENTATION ## Authentication at a glance Marketplace partners use OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code; customer-built integrations commonly use Service Users with Basic Auth. Access tokens expire quickly and require refresh or rotation handling. Authentication methodOAuth 2.0 (Marketplace apps) and Service Users (Basic Auth)Credential required OAuth: client_id, client_secret, redirect_uri. Service Users: service_user_id and service_user_token. **Before you begin:** OAuth apps require HiBob Marketplace approval; Service Users must be created by a HiBob admin and given explicit permissions.

How does authentication work with bob HR? *↓* Use OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code for Marketplace partner apps or Service Users (Basic Auth) for customer-built integrations; access tokens expire quickly and refresh or rotation is required. Can this connector be embedded for many customer accounts? *↓* Yes. Use OAuth partner installs or map Service User credentials per customer and Cyclr’s multi-tenant templates to manage per-customer provisioning and permissions. Can supported bob HR methods be exposed as governed MCP tools? *↓* Yes. Cyclr workflows can expose bob API actions as governed MCP tools with tenant scoping, permission controls and reusable templates for auditability.
