BambooHR Integration

Automate tamper-proof references when employees leave your organisation.

Connect BambooHR to RefPassport and issue verified employment references without lifting a finger.

How It Works

Three steps to fully automated references with BambooHR.

1

Connect Your BambooHR Account

Paste a read-only API key from BambooHR into your RefPassport settings. We use BambooHR's REST API to listen for employee termination events. One-time setup, takes under 5 minutes.

2

Employee Leaves Your Organisation

When you mark someone as terminated in BambooHR, RefPassport detects the change automatically. No manual intervention, no forms to fill, no emails to send.

3

Reference Created and Delivered

A verified, tamper-proof reference is created using the employee's details from BambooHR (name, job title, dates of employment) and delivered directly to the departing employee. They carry it to their next role.

What We Access

Transparency about the data RefPassport reads from your BambooHR account.

  • Employee name, job title, department
  • Employment start and end dates
  • Work email address (for reference delivery only, not stored after delivery)

Read-only access. We use read-only API access. We cannot modify, delete, or write any data in your BambooHR account.

Why Automate with BambooHR?

BambooHR is one of the most popular HRIS platforms for growing companies. Connecting it to RefPassport means references happen without HR lifting a finger.

Eliminate manual work

Every time someone leaves, HR typically fields reference requests for months afterward. With RefPassport connected to BambooHR, the reference is created and delivered before the leaver's last day. Future employers verify it themselves. Your team never has to respond to a reference request again.

Nothing to install or maintain

There are no plugins to install in BambooHR, no webhooks to configure, and no middleware sitting between the two systems. You paste a read-only API key into RefPassport, and we handle everything from there. If BambooHR updates their API, we update our integration. You never need to touch it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What BambooHR data does RefPassport access?

We access employee name, job title, department, employment dates, and work email via BambooHR's read-only API. We cannot modify any data in your BambooHR account. Employee contact details are used only to deliver the reference and are not stored after delivery.

How quickly is the reference created after someone leaves?

References are created within minutes of the termination event being recorded in BambooHR. The departing employee receives their verified reference link by email the same day.

Do I need to install anything in BambooHR?

No. You simply paste a read-only API key from your BambooHR account into your RefPassport settings. There is no middleware, plugin, or webhook configuration required. We build and maintain the connection.

Which BambooHR plans support this integration?

The RefPassport integration works with any BambooHR plan that provides API access. On the RefPassport side, HRIS integrations are available on the Enterprise plan.
