No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit bamboohr If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete BambooHR authentication Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows ### 1. List and Search Employees When to use: User wants to find employees or get the full employee directory Tool sequence: BAMBOOHR_GET_ALL_EMPLOYEES - Get the employee directory [Required] BAMBOOHR_GET_EMPLOYEE - Get detailed info for a specific employee [Optional] Key parameters: For GET_ALL_EMPLOYEES: No required parameters; returns directory For GET_EMPLOYEE: id: Employee ID (numeric) fields: Comma-separated list of fields to return (e.g., 'firstName,lastName,department,jobTitle') Pitfalls: Employee IDs are numeric integers GET_ALL_EMPLOYEES returns basic directory info; use GET_EMPLOYEE for full details The fields parameter controls which fields are returned; omitting it may return minimal data Common fields: firstName, lastName, department, division, jobTitle, workEmail, status Inactive/terminated employees may be included; check status field ### 2. Track Employee Changes When to use: User wants to detect recent employee data changes for sync or auditing Tool sequence: BAMBOOHR_EMPLOYEE_GET_CHANGED - Get employees with recent changes [Required] Key parameters: since: ISO 8601 datetime string for change detection threshold type: Type of changes to check (e.g., 'inserted', 'updated', 'deleted') Pitfalls: since parameter is required; use ISO 8601 format (e.g., '2024-01-15T00:00:00Z') Returns IDs of changed employees, not full employee data Must call GET_EMPLOYEE separately for each changed employee's details Useful for incremental sync workflows; cache the last sync timestamp ### 3. Manage Time-Off When to use: User wants to view time-off balances, request time off, or manage requests Tool sequence: BAMBOOHR_GET_META_TIME_OFF_TYPES - List available time-off types [Prerequisite] BAMBOOHR_GET_TIME_OFF_BALANCES - Check current balances [Optional] BAMBOOHR_GET_TIME_OFF_REQUESTS - List existing requests [Optional] BAMBOOHR_CREATE_TIME_OFF_REQUEST - Submit a new request [Optional] BAMBOOHR_UPDATE_TIME_OFF_REQUEST - Modify or approve/deny a request [Optional] Key parameters: For balances: employeeId, time-off type ID For requests: start, end (date range), employeeId For creation: employeeId: Employee to request for timeOffTypeId: Type ID from GET_META_TIME_OFF_TYPES start: Start date (YYYY-MM-DD) end: End date (YYYY-MM-DD) amount: Number of days/hours notes: Optional notes for the request For update: requestId, status ('approved', 'denied', 'cancelled') Pitfalls: Time-off type IDs are numeric; resolve via GET_META_TIME_OFF_TYPES first Date format is 'YYYY-MM-DD' for start and end dates Balances may be in hours or days depending on company configuration Request status updates require appropriate permissions (manager/admin) Creating a request does NOT auto-approve it; separate approval step needed ### 4. Update Employee Information When to use: User wants to modify employee profile data Tool sequence: BAMBOOHR_GET_EMPLOYEE - Get current employee data [Prerequisite] BAMBOOHR_UPDATE_EMPLOYEE - Update employee fields [Required] Key parameters: id: Employee ID (numeric, required) Field-value pairs for the fields to update (e.g., department, jobTitle, workPhone) Pitfalls: Only fields included in the request are updated; others remain unchanged Some fields are read-only and cannot be updated via API Field names must match BambooHR's expected field names exactly Updates are audited; changes appear in the employee's change history Verify current values with GET_EMPLOYEE before updating to avoid overwriting ### 5. Manage Dependents and Benefits When to use: User wants to view employee dependents or benefit coverage Tool sequence: BAMBOOHR_DEPENDENTS_GET_ALL - List all dependents [Required] BAMBOOHR_BENEFIT_GET_COVERAGES - Get benefit coverage details [Optional] Key parameters: For dependents: Optional employeeId filter For benefits: Depends on schema; check RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS for current parameters Pitfalls: Dependent data includes sensitive PII; handle with appropriate care Benefit coverages may include multiple plan types per employee Not all BambooHR plans include benefits administration; check account features Data access depends on API key permissions ### ID Resolution Employee name -> Employee ID: 1. Call BAMBOOHR_GET_ALL_EMPLOYEES 2. Find employee by name in directory results 3. Extract id (numeric) for detailed operations Time-off type name -> Type ID: 1. Call BAMBOOHR_GET_META_TIME_OFF_TYPES 2. Find type by name (e.g., 'Vacation', 'Sick Leave') 3. Extract id for time-off requests ### Incremental Sync Pattern For keeping external systems in sync with BambooHR: 1. Store last_sync_timestamp 2. Call BAMBOOHR_EMPLOYEE_GET_CHANGED with since=last_sync_timestamp 3. For each changed employee ID, call BAMBOOHR_GET_EMPLOYEE 4. Process updates in external system 5. Update last_sync_timestamp ### Time-Off Workflow 1. GET_META_TIME_OFF_TYPES -> find type ID 2. GET_TIME_OFF_BALANCES -> verify available balance 3. CREATE_TIME_OFF_REQUEST -> submit request 4. UPDATE_TIME_OFF_REQUEST -> approve/deny (manager action) ### Known Pitfalls Employee IDs: Always numeric integers Resolve names to IDs via GET_ALL_EMPLOYEES Terminated employees retain their IDs Date Formats: Time-off dates: 'YYYY-MM-DD' Change detection: ISO 8601 with timezone Inconsistent formats between endpoints; check each endpoint's schema Permissions: API key permissions determine accessible fields and operations Some operations require admin or manager-level access Time-off approvals require appropriate role permissions Sensitive Data: Employee data includes PII (names, addresses, SSN, etc.) Handle all responses with appropriate security measures Dependent data is especially sensitive Rate Limits: BambooHR API has rate limits per API key Bulk operations should be throttled GET_ALL_EMPLOYEES is more efficient than individual GET_EMPLOYEE calls Response Parsing: Response data may be nested under data key Employee fields vary based on fields parameter Empty fields may be omitted or returned as null Parse defensively with fallbacks ### Quick Reference TaskTool SlugKey ParamsList all employeesBAMBOOHR_GET_ALL_EMPLOYEES(none)Get employee detailsBAMBOOHR_GET_EMPLOYEEid, fieldsTrack changesBAMBOOHR_EMPLOYEE_GET_CHANGEDsince, typeTime-off typesBAMBOOHR_GET_META_TIME_OFF_TYPES(none)Time-off balancesBAMBOOHR_GET_TIME_OFF_BALANCESemployeeIdList time-off requestsBAMBOOHR_GET_TIME_OFF_REQUESTSstart, end, employeeIdCreate time-off requestBAMBOOHR_CREATE_TIME_OFF_REQUESTemployeeId, timeOffTypeId, start, endUpdate time-off requestBAMBOOHR_UPDATE_TIME_OFF_REQUESTrequestId, statusUpdate employeeBAMBOOHR_UPDATE_EMPLOYEEid, (field updates)List dependentsBAMBOOHR_DEPENDENTS_GET_ALLemployeeIdBenefit coveragesBAMBOOHR_BENEFIT_GET_COVERAGES(check schema) ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: sohamganatra - Version: 0.1.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Source download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this source. - Health scope: source - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-04-23T16:43:11.935Z - Expires at: 2026-04-30T16:43:11.935Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/bamboohr-automation) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/bamboohr-automation/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/bamboohr-automation/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/bamboohr-automation/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/bamboohr-automation)
