Navigation
Before you start
Before you can create the integration with Oomnitza, you need to have added your BambooHR credentials to Oomnitza.
To save time running the user integration you should also have added your BambooHR subdomain as a global variable in Oomnitza.
Important
The "users" fetched in this workflow are BambooHR users listed in the Company Directory. The request uses the BambooHR Get Employee Directory API. The Company Directory is a feature that can be managed and even disabled by each company in their account settings. Because of this, calling this endpoint may perform differently or not at all (if the feature is disabled) from one company to the next.
Creating the user integration
- In Oomnitza, click Configuration>Integrations>Overview.
- Click Integrations List View
- On the Integrations page, scroll down to the Extended section for user integrations.
- Click NEW INTEGRATION.
- Search for the integration in the sidebar or use the Search.
- Click ADD.
Integration Overview
Before you start
More information is provided about the following fields to help you complete the integration:
Integration preferences: By default, Create and Update are selected. To ensure that only live user records are synced with Oomnitza, select Update Only. When you run the integration, you can check the error logs to see the records that weren't uploaded and why they weren't uploaded. Then, you can decide whether to upload the user records that were skipped by changing your integration preference back to Create and Update.
User selection: When you select User plus SaaS User and you have multiple instances of the same SaaS, you can choose your SaaS instance from the dropdown. If you have a single instance of the SaaS, your instance is already detected by the system.

Note
For all user loads, it is recommended that you map role information to an employee role in Oomnitza. Users need to have an employee role defined in order to access Oomnitza. If the role information is not available from the user load, it is recommended that you select Employee from the Oomnitza Role dropdown list. You have the option to overwrite this at a later point should the role information become available.
