Integration Architecture
A secure integration layer at the centre of your HR stack
BambooHR's open API sits at the heart of every Grouper implementation. Explore how it connects to payroll, ERP, finance, identity, Microsoft 365, time and attendance, recruitment and BI, and what is available today versus illustrative of what could be built.

How the integration layer works in practice
A good integration is architecture first, connection second. Here is what Grouper puts in place before, during and after any system is connected to BambooHR.
Open API at the centre
Every integration runs through BambooHR's open, documented REST API and webhooks, so data flows automatically instead of being rekeyed between systems.
Security and identity first
Single sign-on, directory sync and role-based access are configured before any data integration is switched on, so access is always correct and auditable.
Built during implementation
Integrations are scoped, built and tested as part of your implementation programme, not bolted on afterwards, so they are live from day one.
Maintained, not abandoned
Grouper's managed support team monitors and maintains live integrations, so a change in a connected system does not silently break your data flow.
In practice
A real Grouper client, integrated with their payroll system
The Schneider Group runs its payroll through a separate system. Grouper built a live integration between BambooHR and that payroll platform as part of the implementation, so pay data flows through without manual rekeying.
“At the very beginning, the service level was very high. We had the chance to work together with our account manager, who was brilliant. He's so service oriented, and he wants to understand our needs.”
