BambooHR is a SaaS company that provides Human-Resources software. It helps streamline the whole recruiting process to first-day orientations and provides typical HRIS functions.

In order to integrate BambooHR with Relyance AI you will need the **BambooHR Subdomain** name and **API Key**.

**In BambooHR:**

1. Navigate to your BambooHR settings panel and create an API Key.

**In the Relyance AI application:**

1. Login to your Relyance AI account.
2. Navigate to the **Settings** (bottom-left corner).
3. Select **Integrations**.
4. Search and locate the **BambooHR** integration card and click on it.
5. Click on the **Add Connection** button on the top right.
6. Provide a meaningful name for the integration and click on the **Add** button.
7. In the **Overview** section, select the integration features you wish to enable for the integration, review the **Scope and Permission**, and **Endpoint** details and click on **Continue**. For more details, see [Integration Features](/docs/introduction-to-relyance-ai/integration-features/).
8. In the **Connection** section, provide the appropriate values and click on **Continue**,
    - **Connection Name**: This property allows you to update the integration specified in Step 6. If you have multiple integrations for the same vendor, you may want to assign distinct names to each. This helps streamline filtering by **Discovery Source** across the **Inventory**, **Visual** **Maps**, **Assets**, and **Data Flow Analysis** pages.
    - **Rescan Frequency**: This property allows you to configure how often Relyance executes scans against this Vendor connection.
    - **Business Atlas Associations** (required): the business entities or products that newly discovered third parties, services and assets from this integration are attributed to. Choose at least one from the **Select Associations** dropdown — the wizard will not advance past this step without one. For more details, see [Business Atlas](/docs/other-settings/business-atlas-overview/).
9. In the **Authentication** section, Please choose the authentication method as **Custom** and provide the following information retrieved from the **In BambooHR** section and click on **Authenticate**.
10. In the Data Inspection section, provide the appropriate values and click on **Continue**,
    - **Minimum Confidence Level:** This property adjusts the sensitivity of the Data Inspection feature. Lower likelihoods (e.g., Very Low) offer more coverage but may produce false positives, while higher sensitivity (e.g., very High) provides greater accuracy but less coverage.
11. Review the configuration summary from the **Completion** section and click on **Finish.**
12. Confirm the integration Status reflects **Connected.**

## If the connection reports Connected but returns nothing

These are the ways this integration comes back empty without reporting an error. Generated from the integration catalog, so it tracks what the connection actually asks for.

1. **A feature you enabled returns nothing.** Some scopes belong to a feature rather than to the connection: **Data inspection** needs `Default`; **Data subject requests** needs `Default`. Turning the feature on after the connection exists does not widen the grant it already holds, so re-authenticate the connection.
2. **A credential rotated at the vendor is not picked up here.** **API Key** is stored when you save the connection, so regenerating the value at the vendor breaks the next scan until it is re-pasted here. Recording the expiry on the connection means Relyance warns you before it lapses.
3. **Check the address fields before suspecting the credentials.** **BambooHR Subdomain** identifies which tenant, region or host to talk to. A wrong value there fails authentication and looks exactly like a bad secret.

## Manage this integration with Terraform

Connections for this integration can be managed as code with the [Relyance Terraform provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/Relyance/relyance/latest). Non-secret fields go in `auth.params`; secret fields go in `auth.secrets_wo`, which is write-only — never stored in Terraform state. Rotate secrets by bumping `auth.secrets_wo_version`.

```hcl
resource "relyance_integration_connection" "bamboo" {
  vendor = "bamboo"
  name   = "<your connection name>"

  auth = {
    method = "api-key"
    params = {
      subdomain = "<subdomain>"
      data_storage_location = "us"
    }
    # Secret fields are write-only: sent to Relyance, never stored in state.
    secrets_wo = {
      api_key = var.bamboo_api_key
    }
    secrets_wo_version = 1
  }

  scans = { "data-inspection" = { enabled = true } }
}
```
