Breathe HR Integration

Automate tamper-proof references when employees leave your organisation.

Connect Breathe HR to RefPassport and issue verified employment references without any manual effort.

How It Works

Three steps to fully automated references with Breathe HR.

1

Connect Your Breathe HR Account

Generate an API key in Breathe HR and paste it into your RefPassport settings. We use Breathe's API to monitor employee changes.

2

Employee Leaves

When you record a leaver in Breathe HR, RefPassport detects the event automatically. No manual steps.

3

Reference Created and Delivered

A tamper-proof reference is generated from the employee's Breathe HR profile and delivered to them. They carry it to their next role.

What We Access

Transparency about the data RefPassport reads from your Breathe HR 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 Breathe HR account.

Why Automate with Breathe HR?

Breathe HR is built for UK small and medium businesses. RefPassport adds automated references to the platform your team already uses.

Perfect for UK SMEs

Breathe HR is one of the most widely used HRIS platforms among UK SMEs, with tens of thousands of companies relying on it for core HR tasks. Many of RefPassport's target customers already use Breathe for managing employee records, leave, and performance. Adding automated references means one less thing for a small HR team (or a founder wearing the HR hat) to manage manually.

Simple setup, no ongoing maintenance

Small businesses do not have dedicated integration teams. That is why RefPassport handles everything after you paste in your API key. There are no webhooks to set up, no plugins to install, and no technical configuration in Breathe. If Breathe updates their API, we update our integration. Your team focuses on running the business while references take care of themselves.
