How to synchronise Appraisd with your BambooHR account

If you use BambooHR, you can set up a one-way sync from BambooHR to Appraisd which will automatically update your People list in Appraisd based on changes you make in BambooHR.

The following fields are synchronized:

Prerequisites

Step 1 – Get your BambooHR API key and insert it into Appraisd

• Click API Keys here:

• Click this button:   

• Give the new API key a name. It's important to make sure that it is clear what the key is for.

• Now return to Appraisd and the Configuration area:   

• Click Integrations on the left, then click on connect to BambooHR

• Paste your API key in here:

Step 2 – Set up the webhook

The webhook enables a near-real time sync with BambooHR. Once configured you should see changes made in BambooHR reflected in Appraisd in less than 1 minute.

• Copy your Webhook Key from the Appraisd configuration:  

Highlight the text in the box and press CTRL+C or CMD+C to copy. You’ll need this shortly.  

• Go to BambooHR and open the Webhooks admin page. Click Add Webhook:   

• Complete the new webhook page as follows (top half):   

• Bottom half:   

For the Post to URL box, you need to paste in the Webhook Key that you copied earlier.

• Now click Save.

Your webhook should now be established. Please test it by making a change in BambooHR and checking the change has been propagated to Appraisd.
