BambooHR
Connect to your users' BambooHR accounts
You'll need the following information to set up your BambooHR App with Paragon Connect:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Scopes Requested
Under Integrations > Connected Integrations > {YOUR_APP} > Settings, fill out your credentials from your developer app in their respective sections:
- Client ID: Found in your BambooHR Partner Program dashboard.
- Client Secret: Found in your BambooHR Partner Program dashboard.
- Permissions: Select the scopes you've requested for your application.
Leaving the Client ID and Client Secret blank will use Paragon development keys.

Once your users have connected their BambooHR account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the BambooHR API on behalf of connected users.
Any BambooHR API endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example.
// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration
// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectId>, <UserToken>);
// Get Company Directory
paragon.request("bamboohr", "/employees/directory", {
method: "GET"
});
// Create a time-off request
paragon.request("bamboohr", "/employees/<EMPLOYEE ID>/time_off/request", {
method: "POST",
body: {
"status": "approved",
"start": "2022-07-01",
"end": "2022-07-04",
"timeOffTypeId": 86,
"amount": 16,
"notes": [{from: "manager", note: "Get well soon!"}],
"previousRequest": 0
}
});
// Get benefit deduction types
paragon.request("bamboohr", "/benefits/settings/deduction_types/all", {
method: "GET"
});
