BambooHR - Not Connecting

Here’s how to resolve common issues when setting up the BambooHR integration

🔍 Why This Happens

There are two common reasons the BambooHR integration may fail to connect:

  1. API access is unavailable on the free tier – Only paid BambooHR plans support API functionality.

  2. Incorrect domain format – Users may enter the full domain instead of just the required subdomain.

What You Need to Do

🔐 Step 1: Confirm You’re on a Paid Plan

  • Make sure your BambooHR account includes API access, which is only available on paid tiers.

  • If you're on the free plan, you will not be able to generate an API key and complete the integration.

🌐 Step 2: Enter the Subdomain Only

When connecting the integration:

  • Do not enter the full domain (e.g., yourcompany.bamboohr.com)

  • Instead, enter only the subdomain (e.g., yourcompany)
