How do I list BambooHR employees?
Short answer: You can list employees in BambooHR by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the BambooHR List Employees action to a workflow, map its 0 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Sample request
{}
Returns
{"employees": [{"id": "123","jobTitle": "Software Engineer","lastName": "Doe","firstName": "John","workEmail": "john@company.com","department": "Engineering","displayName": "John Doe"}]}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about List Employees.
What does the List Employees action do in BambooHR?
Returns 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.
What inputs does List Employees require?
List Employees has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if BambooHR returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message BambooHR returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does List Employees support batch operations?
Run List Employees inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within BambooHR's rate limits.
