    What Volty does with BambooHR

    BambooHR is the HR system for employee records and time off. We connect BambooHR to Volty as a custom connection from a BambooHR API key, and what Volty reads and writes is agreed when it is connected. The HR team can then ask Volty in team chat who is on leave or when a new hire starts, without opening BambooHR.

    • Who is out

      Volty reads approved time off for the team or week asked about.

    • Employee details for HR

      Start date, manager and department, read from the record.

    • A Monday summary

      An automation posts the week's leave to a team channel.

    • Agreed when connected

      We build only the tools you ask for, each with its own switch.

    How Volty connects to BambooHR

    Share a BambooHR API key with our team and say what Volty should read. We build the connection, an admin approves it, and you set the switches.

      Create an API key

      In BambooHR, by a user with the access Volty should have.

    2. 02

      Agree the tools

      Time off, employee details, or both.

    3. 03

      Approve and set switches

      An admin approves the connection once.

    The tools Volty gets

    Each one is a switch on the Sources page in Volty.

    • Who's outReads
    • Read employeeReads
    • Read time off balanceReads

    Reading tools can be turned on straight away. Anything that changes BambooHR starts Off, and once on it can be set to check with staff, so each change waits for a colleague.
