Connect BambooHR To PeopleGoal

PeopleGoal integrates with BambooHR, allowing you to utilize your BambooHR account employee database in your PeopleGoal account. BambooHR can be the primary source of employee information, and it automatically synchronizes with PeopleGoal.

In this article, we provide a step-by-step guide for connecting your BambooHR account with your PeopleGoal account.

Step 1: Generate an API Key in your BambooHR Account

The API key allows you to connect your PeopleGoal account to BambooHR. In BambooHR, click Account > API Keys and 'Add a New Key'. Once you generate your API key, make sure you make a copy.

Step 2: Add your BambooHR API Key to your PeopleGoal Account

In PeopleGoal, under Settings and Integrations, go to BambooHR and click 'Add an API Key'. Paste the text into the 'API key' field. Then, add your BambooHR account name as it appears in your subdomain, i.e., peoplegoal.

Step 3: Synchronize your BambooHR account with PeopleGoal

The synchronization imports all your employees, managers, teams, and profile pictures from BambooHR to your PeopleGoal account. Once you click on 'Run Synchronization,' your status will update to 'In progress.'

The process can take a few minutes, so you can leave it running in the background. The synchronization step will run automatically daily after the first run.

Once you complete the integration set-up, Bamboo HR will be your primary source of employee information at PeopleGoal. Any employee changes that take place in BambooHR will be reflected in PeopleGoal through the overnight sync.

Custom employee profiles with BambooHR data

As part of our enterprise plan, we also offer employee profile integration. The employee profile integration with BambooHR allows you to connect your PeopleGoal Account with the BambooHR employee information tables. These include:

• Employee Information
• Employment Status
• Compensation & Benefits
• Contacts & Emergency Contacts: By enabling the employee profiles integration, you can enrich your PeopleGoal employee profiles with data such as:
  • Employee Number
  • Hire Date
  • Salary
  • Pay Group
  • Pay Type
  • Address and more

A full list of all the available BambooHR fields can be accessed here.
