What is Bamboo HR?

BambooHR provides companies with human resources software as a service.

BambooHR provides a variety of services including applicant tracking, employee records, payroll, time-off tracking, and much more.

The Seismic Learning <> BambooHR provides user management syncing users from Bamboo into Seismic Learning.

Once the sync is set up the integration runs five times a day: 7 AM 1 PM, 7 PM, 9 PM, & 1 AM EST.

The Bamboo <> Seismic Learning Integration

There are two different set-ups for the Bamboo integration:

  • Bamboo directory

  • Bamboo custom report

For more information on Bamboo Custom Reports check out this article here.

BambooHR Full-Directory Integration

To begin setting up the Bamboo Full-Directory integration, the customer needs to provide three items to either the Support team or their designated TAM team member:

  • Bamboo subdomain

  • Bamboo API key

  • A department to sync to Seismic Learning. Learning can sync either:

    • More than one department

    • The entire Bamboo directory

Notes:

  • If a sync department is present the integration will sync only the users who are included in the department.

  • If a sync department is not provided the integration will sync all users present in Bamboo.

  • The sync department attribute is case sensitive and should be comma separated.

If a customer is unsure who to reach out to begin this setup, please contact Support directly at support@lessonly.com

BambooHR Field Syncing

Required attributes in a Bamboo user profile:

  • workEmail

  • displayName attribute cannot be modified directly but if it is absent the user cannot be synced.

Optional attributes (these will sync to Seismic Learning if present):

  • JobTitle

  • Location

  • Division

  • Supervisor

  • Department

Custom attributes:
​

Only available for the Bamboo Custom Report integration.

Important Note

Hire Date is not supported through the Full-Directory integration. For users to be synced with a hire date, this needs to be done through the Bamboo Custom Report integration.

Archiving users:

  • Any users no longer present will be archived in Seismic Learning. (those who have been terminated).

  • Users created manually in Seismic Learning, but not present in the Bamboo directory will not be affected.

Notifications

Users who are created through the Bamboo integration will not receive a welcome email unless they are assigned content through a trigger or via being synced into a smart group with assigned content. The new users would then receive an assignment email prompting them to create an account and complete the assignment.
