About BambooHR

BambooHR’s REST API uses HTTPS + HTTP Basic: username = API key, password = literal x (or any non-empty string BambooHR ignores). Requests target https://YOUR_SUBDOMAIN.bamboohr.com/api/.... Iru stores subdomain first, then credentials.

​
How it works

DetailValue
CategoryHRIS
AuthenticationBasic (API key + x)
Official references: Getting started, API reference.

​
Prerequisites

  • Your subdomain (acme from https://acme.bamboohr.com).
  • Ability to create an API key under your BambooHR profile.

​
Connect BambooHR to Iru

​
BambooHR

1

Create an API key

Your name → API Keys → Add a New Key, name it (for example Iru Compliance), generate, copy once.

​
Iru Compliance

1

Open Sources

In Iru Compliance, on the left navigation bar, expand Compliance and select Sources.
Left navigation: Compliance expanded, Sources selected
2

Turn on BambooHR

Find BambooHR (use Category or Search by name or description). On that card, turn on the toggle. A browser tab or window may open for the connector wizard.
3

Enter subdomain

Enter subdomain only (for example acme). Confirm if the wizard shows a preview URL.
4

Enter Basic authentication

Enter Username = API key and Password = x (literal).
5

Confirm the source is Active

Submit until the BambooHR card shows Active.

​
Troubleshooting

Check pop-up blocker settings for the Iru site and try again.
Full API key; regenerate if unsure.
Fix subdomain and reconnect.
API inherits user permissions - connect with an HR-privileged account if needed.
