BambooHR

BambooHR employee and time-off reads

BambooHR is the SMB-focused HRIS — employee records, time-off, performance, onboarding — popular with 50-500-person companies who want HRIS without the enterprise overhead of Workday. Tiny Command exposes three actions, no triggers (BambooHR has webhooks configured in admin Settings → Apps → Webhooks; point at a Tiny Command webhook trigger URL for employee-created, employee-updated events): List Employees (paginated with optional fields filter to scope what comes back), Get Employee (full employee record with employment, contact, compensation, and any custom fields enabled on the account), Request Time Off (programmatically request PTO/sick/vacation on behalf of an employee — useful for "auto-request time off when calendar marks vacation" workflows). The connection uses a BambooHR API key (per-user from the user's account API key page) plus the company subdomain (e.g., acme for acme.bamboohr.com). The custom-fields schema varies per company; resolve once via the /meta/fields endpoint via HTTP action.

Actions

Do anything BambooHR can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

ActionWhat it does
Get EmployeeReturns an employee's full record by ID — standard fields (name, email, department, job title, hire date) plus any custom fields configured on the account. Compensation visible only with the right role permissions.
List EmployeesReturns paginated employees with field-scoping (pass fields=firstName,lastName,workEmail,department for performance). For full-roster syncs at 500+ employees, tight field scoping is essential to stay under the rate limit.
Request Time OffProgrammatically files a PTO/vacation/sick request on behalf of an employee. Enters BambooHR's configured approval flow. Useful for "calendar event marked as vacation → auto-request time off" personal-automation workflows.

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect BambooHR once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every BambooHR field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
