Connect BambooHR Without Breaking the Audit Trail

Use this guide to connect BambooHR or confirm the export-based path that fits your environment. Aurora keeps source, timestamps, ownership, and collection history attached so the first run becomes reusable proof instead of one-off setup work.

First-Run Checklist

Use this sequence to connect BambooHR and make sure the first collection lands cleanly.

  1. 1
    Generate a dedicated BambooHR API key for a least-privilege service user.
  2. 2
    Configure company_domain and store api_key securely.
  3. 3
    Confirm the service user can read employee directory, account users, metadata catalogs, and any custom report IDs Aurora is expected to collect.
  4. 4
    Validate the connection before enabling scheduled sync.

Credentials and Secrets

Recommended Access

Aurora only asks for the minimum read access needed for collection and checks.

Access requirements depend on the collection mode and scope you choose.
