BambooHR - Offboarding Integration

Offboarding - Overview

Follow the steps below to set up the offboarding integration between Firstbase and BambooHR.

Note: Prior to setting up your integration, please ensure you have admin access and connect your account to BambooHR if you haven’t done so by following these steps.

The offboarding integration will offboard an employee in Firstbase and start the return process for their equipment (if they have equipment to return) whenever you terminate a user in BambooHR and assign an effective termination date for the employee. It will then check if the user is active in Firstbase, and if so, start the offboarding process in Firstbase.

1. When does the offboarding integration run?

The Offboarding Integration runs once a day every 24 hours. It’ll run each day at the same time you start the offboarding workflow the first time. It may take 1-2 hours to run depending on the amount of employees in your system. 

We will offboard employees the day after the effective termination date we receive via BambooHR. We do this to avoid possible scenarios where an employee is terminated in BambooHR before they are notified. 

2. How does the offboarding integration work?

The integration will ingest a list of terminated employees and start the offboarding process for any employee with an effective termination date of the day before today, that's still active in Firstbase.

3. How do I set the offboarding integration up?

1. Visit your BambooHR Integrations page

2. Configure your "Offboarding Integration" (Optional)

The offboarding integration can be optionally configured to only offboard certain employees based on a criteria you determine. To do so, follow these steps:

• Open up the "Offboard User" flow within your BambooHR Integration page

• Click on "Configure"

The following modal will open up. Choose "Add row"

• Set up your configuration options:

Here, you can choose the fields you want to use to exclude/include only certain employees when the integration runs using one of the six available operators. See FAQs here for more info on the available operators if needed.

All conditions are AND conditions, meaning we'll consider all when assigning a package. There's no OR conditions today.

The integration fields available to configure your offboarding workflow include only the "Country" field.

Let's go through an example of how to set this up:

• I'd like to only offboard employees based in Singapore and UK

For this option, you'll need to configure your customization settings the following way: 

• Country IN SG, UK

Note: When setting up country values please follow standard standard 2 character ISO country codes. More info here -> https://www.iban.com/country-codes.

3. Start your "Offboard User" Integration

Simply click on the “Start” button in the Offboard User flow and you should be ready to go.

4. How do I offboard employees in BambooHR and set up an effective termination date?

To set up the effective termination date for an employee, simply go to your BambooHR account under people and select the employee you want to terminate.

Under the employee profile, click on the cogwheel options and then click on end employment

Set up the “Effective Date” then click on end employment

As soon as the integration starts running on Firstbase it will check for the effective date of termination and start offboarding that user on that date.
