Hyperproof uses Merge, a third-party API, to retrieve data from HRIS apps. Hyperproof uses the Employees, Employments, and Groups scopes. If you are interested in learning more about the permissions needed for HRIS Hypersyncs that use Merge, refer to the Merge Authentication Guides page in their Help Center.
Note: This Hypersync is not supported in Hyperproof Gov.
When you configure a Hypersync for BambooHR on a control or label, you can automatically collect the following proof types:
BambooHR proof types and fields
Proof type | Fields | Testable |
Employees with Change in Employment Status | Name, Email, Department, Title, Status, Start Date, End Date | Yes |
List of Employees | Name, Email, Department, Title, Status, Start Date, End Date | Yes |
This Hypersync supports importing a company directory for an access review. See Importing a directory with a Hypersync for more information.
Blocking sensitive data
When Hyperproof connects to a Merge Hypersync, we intentionally minimize data exposure and follow least-privilege principles. Sensitive data can't be blocked entirely from within Hyperproof; it can only be blocked at the source. We recommend working with the System Administrator for the app you are accessing to configure a service account specifically for Hyperproof with access only to the data you need the Hypersync to collect.
Requirements
To connect to BambooHR and collect proof, your BambooHR configuration must meet the following requirements.
You must be a BambooHR administrator.
Subdomain - Enter your BambooHR subdomain. For example, if your BambooHR is
https://acme.bamboo.com, then your subdomain is acme.You have a Custom Access Level with sufficient access. Under Settings > Access Levels, enable View access for employee data. Do not include any financial or highly personal information.
API Key - Required only when you select Use my API Key or an access token in the connection window.
Sign in to BambooHR and click your profile in the bottom left.
Click Add New Key.
Input an API Key Name, and then click Generate Key.
Copy the API key and store it in a safe location.
Note: Hyperproof connects to many third-party systems that frequently change, including the system interface. Contact your System Administrator or the third-party provider for assistance in meeting the requirements to integrate with Hyperproof and collect the proof you need.
