⚠️The user connecting this integration must have full admin access to Bamboo; employee-level users cannot retrieve the necessary data.
What You Need

- The BambooHR subdomain (e.g., “companyname” from companyname.bamboohr.com)
- Administrative Access to the Dashboard
- Access to Settings > Integrations
Method: Connect BambooHR to EasyLlama
Step 1: Initiate connection
Log in to your EasyLlama dashboard and go to Settings > Integrations > Bamboo. Click the Connect button.

In the pop-up window, enter only your BambooHR subdomain name (the part before ".bamboohr.com") and click Save.
Step 3: Authenticate with BambooHR
If you’re not already logged in, you’ll be prompted to enter your BambooHR credentials. After successful authentication, you’ll be redirected back to EasyLlama.

Quick Questions
How often does data sync?
Employee data syncs automatically every 24 hours. You can also trigger manual syncs at any time.
Is this a two-way sync?
No, this is a one-way integration from BambooHR to EasyLlama. Employee data flows into EasyLlama, but training progress doesn’t sync back to BambooHR.
What data gets synced?
Employee names, email addresses, departments, locations, and other HR fields you configure in the integration settings.
How does the Phone Field work?
The Work Phone field is prioritized. If no work phone is available, the Mobile Phone field is used. If you only want work, or mobile/personal numbers to sync, please reach out to support at Support@EasyLlama.com.
Llama Fact: Llamas have excellent memories and recognize herd members for years—just like this integration remembers and syncs your employee data daily!
