Integrating BambooHR with Pyn allows you to automate communications based on real-time employee data like start dates, promotions, and birthdays so your people get the right message at the right time, every time.
What You’ll Need Before You Start:
Admin access to your BambooHR account
Your BambooHR subdomain (e.g.,
yourcompany.bamboohr.com)A Pyn account with Admin permissions

Go to Settings > Integrations and look for the BambooHR option.
Click on the BambooHR tile to begin the setup.
Select the "Connect Now" button in the side panel.
3. Enter Your BambooHR Subdomain
You’ll be asked for your company’s BambooHR subdomain. This is the part of your BambooHR URL before .bamboohr.com.
🔍 Example: If your BambooHR login URL is https://acmecorp.bamboohr.com, your subdomain is acmecorp.
4. Authorize Pyn to Access BambooHR
You’ll be redirected to BambooHR to log in and grant permissions.

From here, Pyn will begin syncing employee data automatically, typically every hour.
