Use cases
BambooHR + Tray
BambooHR is where employee records, job information, time off, and compensation data are managed across the organization. But workforce changes rarely stop in BambooHR.
Tray extends BambooHR across your stack, connecting it to identity, payroll, ITSM, finance, collaboration, and any other system you rely on. Changes to employees, job fields, time-off requests, or status updates can trigger orchestrated workflows, governed automations, and agents that take action across tools while keeping BambooHR as the system of record.
See how different teams use Tray to take action from BambooHR.

Automations
Automations with BambooHR and Tray
Tray automates how BambooHR connects with your other systems. Employee events such as new hires, updates, or terminations can start workflows that create tickets, sync records, or notify teams across HR, IT, and finance.
Workflows use BambooHR webhooks or scheduled polling to detect changes, manage dependencies like access setup or removal, and keep every system in sync.
Each workflow includes retries, error handling, and sequencing controls so actions happen in the right order without data loss. Logic and approvals ensure sensitive changes, such as salary or access updates, follow policy and remain governed.
Integrations
Integrations with BambooHR and Tray
Tray connects BambooHR with your HR, IT, and finance tools. Integrations keep employee records aligned across systems so every team works from the same source of truth. Tray supports hybrid HR environments where BambooHR can serve as either the source or target alongside systems like Workday, ADP, or other HR and identity platforms. Workflows can extend with HTTP steps for systems not covered by native Tray connectors, giving teams flexibility to integrate specialized tools while keeping governance consistent.
BambooHR integration capabilities
Integrate BambooHR with 700+ applications using the BambooHR connector or any system with an API using Tray’s HTTP connector. These domains mirror BambooHR APIs and how HR teams manage employee records, time-off requests, and approvals across systems.
Manage employee data across systems
- Create and update records: Add new hires, update job titles, and sync personal details
- Sync key fields: Keep job, department, and manager data current
- Handle deltas: Process only changed records using timestamps or custom logic
- Deactivate users: Trigger downstream offboarding workflows when employment ends
- Attach files: Upload or sync employee documents from connected storage
Agents
Build agents with BambooHR and Tray
Tray agents use BambooHR data to help HR and IT teams act directly from chat or web tools. Agents can combine data from BambooHR, Okta, and finance systems to act in context under IT-defined permissions.
Ground agents with relevant knowledge
- Combine sources: Use BambooHR with identity or finance data for context-aware actions
- Build a BambooHR data source: Query approved employee and job data through APIs
- Filter scope: Limit access by department, role, or region
- Detect changes: Use polling or schedules to capture updates
- Use company knowledge: Return approved data grounded in internal content and link back to the correct records
