Upload Employee File

Get employee data by specifying a set of fields. This is suitable for getting basic employee information, including current values for fields that are part of a historical table, like job title, or compensation information. See the [fields](ref:metadata-get-a-list-of-fields) endpoint for a list of possible fields.

Get Employee

Update an employee, based on employee ID. If employee is currently on a pay schedule syncing with Trax Payroll, or being added to one, the API user will need to update the employee with all of the following required fields for the update to be successful (listed by API field name): employeeNumber, firstName, lastName, dateOfBirth, ssn, gender, maritalStatus, hireDate, address1, city, state, country, employmentHistoryStatus, exempt, payType, payRate, payPer, location, department, and division.

Update Employee

Add a new employee. New employees must have at least a first name and a last name. The ID of the newly created employee is included in the Location header of the response. Other fields can be included. Please see the [fields](ref:metadata-get-a-list-of-fields) endpoint. New Employees added to a pay schedule synced with Trax Payroll must have the following required fields (listed by API field name): employeeNumber, firstName, lastName, dateOfBirth, ssn, gender, maritalStatus, hireDate, address1, city, state, country, employmentHistoryStatus, exempt, payType, payRate, payPer, location, department, and division.

Upload Company File

Use this resource to request one of your existing custom company reports from the My Reports or Manage Reports sections in the Reports tab. You can get the report number by hovering over the report name and noting the ID from the URL. At present, only reports from the My Reports or Manage Reports sections are supported. In the future we may implement reports from the Standard Reports section if there is enough demand for it. The report numbers used in this request are different in each company.

Get company report

Use this resource to request BambooHR generate a report. You must specify a type of either "PDF", "XLS", "CSV", "JSON", or "XML". You must specify a list of fields to show on the report. The list of fields is available here. The custom report will return employees regardless of their status, "Active" or "Inactive". This differs from the UI, which by default applies a quick filter to display only "Active" employees.

Request a custom report

Returns a data structure representing all the table rows for a given employee and table combination. The result is not sorted in any particular order.

Gets table rows for a given employee and table combination

Adds a table row. If employee is currently on a pay schedule syncing with Trax Payroll, or being added to one, the row cannot be added if they are missing any required fields for that table. If the API user is adding a row on the compensation table, the row cannot be added if they are missing any of the required employee fields (including fields not on that table).

Adds a table row

Updates a table row. If employee is currently on a pay schedule syncing with Trax Payroll, or being added to one, the row cannot be added if they are missing any required fields for that table. If the API user is updating a row on the compensation table, the row cannot be updated if they are missing any of the required employee fields (including fields not on that table).

Updates a table row.

Deletes a table row

Updates a table row. Fundamentally the same as version 1 so choose a version and stay with it unless other changes occur. Changes from version 1 are now minor with a few variations limited to ACA, payroll, terminated rehire, gusto, benetrac, and final pay date.

This API is merely an optimization to avoid downloading all table data for all employees. When you use this API you will provide a timestamp and the results will be limited to just the employees that have changed since the time you provided. This API operates on an employee-last-changed-timestamp, which means that a change in ANY field in the employee record will cause ALL of that employees table rows to show up via this API.

Gets all updated employee table data

This endpoint can help with discovery of fields that are available in an account.

Get a list of fields

This endpoint can help discover table fields available in your BambooHR account.

Get a list of tabular fields

This endpoint will return details for all list fields. Lists that can be edited will have the "manageable" attribute set to yes. Lists with the "multiple" attribute set to yes are fields that can have multiple values. Options with the "archived" attribute set to yes should not appear as current options, but are included so that historical data can reference the value.

Get details for list fields

This resource accepts one or more options. To update an option, specify an ID. You may also remove an option from the list of current values by archiving the value. To create a new option, do not specify an "id" attribute.

# Continuous Import of Users to Your App

This scenario enables your application to continuously sync Users from any external application to your app's API. It handles the initial import of Users and keeps them synchronized when a User is created, updated, or deleted in the external application.

When receiving Users data from the external application, the data is transformed into a format supported by your app's API. Additionally, if needed, your customers can customize the data mapping based on their specific external application setup.

## How It Works

1. **Initial Import**:
   - Perform the initial import by calling the Integration.app REST API or SDK in a loop from your code to retrieve data page by page.
   - Integration.app transforms the output into a consistent format compatible with your API, allowing you to save the data efficiently.

2. **Continuous Sync**:
   - Enable subscription via a single API or SDK call to continuously receive created, updated, or deleted events.
   - Integration.app manages all integration-specific logic, including subscribing to/unsubscribing from webhooks, custom polling of events, or performing periodic full syncs.
   - You will only receive the necessary events as real-time as supported by the external application's API.

# Delete Employee

This scenario allows your application to delete a Employee from any external application. 
You will pass ID of the Employee you want to delete and Integration.app will handle the rest.

## How It Works

1. **Delete Employee API call**:
   - Call Integration.app REST API or SDK with ID of the Employee you want to delete and Integration.app will send the correct request to the external app.

# Realtime Full two-way Sync of Jobs

This scenario enables your application to fully sync Jobs between your app and any external application in both directions. It handles the initial import/export of Jobs and then sends events when a Job is created, updated, or deleted on any side, as close to real-time as possible.

Job fields will be mapped from your application's schema to the application-specific schema.

## How It Works

1. **Initial Sync**:
   - Perform the initial import by calling the Integration.app REST API or SDK in a loop from your code to retrieve data page by page. Integration.app transforms the output into a consistent format compatible with your API, allowing you to save and match data efficiently.
   - Make another set of requests to create Jobs in external app, if needed.

2. **Continuous Sync from External App**:
   - Enable subscription via a single API or SDK call to continuously receive created, updated, or deleted events from external applications.
   - Integration.app manages all integration-specific logic, including subscribing to/unsubscribing from webhooks, custom polling of events, or performing periodic full syncs.
   - You will only receive the necessary events as real-time as supported by the external application's API.


2. **Continuous Sync from Your App**:
   - You will get a single webhook URI that you will use to send events about created, updated, or deleted Jobs to Integration.app.
   - Once send, Integration.app will map the webhook payload to the format supported by external application and send the correct request
