How do I list BambooHR employees?
Short answer: Drop the "BambooHR → List Employees" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
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 workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does List Employees support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Employees inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles BambooHR's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
