Practical ways you can use BambooHR and Google Sheets
Track terminated employees in Google Sheets
Whenever an employee is marked as terminated in BambooHR, Zapier updates a Google Sheets file with the details. This helps business owners maintain oversight of staffing changes, enabling them to monitor turnover trends effectively.
When a new employee is added to BambooHR, Zapier automatically logs their details into a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This streamlines onboarding documentation and ensures the HR team has immediate access to an up-to-date list of employees, improving data management and team productivity.
Update employee information in BambooHR from Google Sheets
When employee information is updated in a designated row of a Google Sheets file, Zapier syncs the changes by updating the corresponding records in BambooHR. This ensures consistent and accurate information across platforms without manual data entry by the IT team.

Frequently Asked Questions about BambooHR + Google Sheets integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with BambooHR and Google Sheets
How do I set up a BambooHR to Google Sheets integration?
To set up an integration between BambooHR and Google Sheets, you'll need to use our platform to create a Zap that connects the two applications. Start by selecting BambooHR as the trigger app and choose an appropriate event, such as 'New Employee'. Then select Google Sheets as the action app and configure it to add a row with the employee's details.
Can I automatically update Google Sheets when an employee's data changes in BambooHR?
Yes, you can. By setting up a trigger in BambooHR for 'Employee Changed', you can automate updates in Google Sheets. Each time an employee's data changes, our system will automatically modify the corresponding entry in your spreadsheet.
Is it possible to import data from Google Sheets into BambooHR?
While our integration primarily focuses on exporting data from BambooHR to Google Sheets, importing data back into BambooHR requires bulk upload options within BambooHR itself or custom solutions through API calls.
What happens if there are duplicate entries when syncing BambooHR with Google Sheets?
Our system doesn't inherently handle duplicate entries; you'll need to set logic either within your trigger settings or within Google Sheets using formulas or scripts to manage duplicates according to your preferences.
How frequently does the sync occur between BambooHR and Google Sheets?
The frequency of synchronization depends on the plan you have with us. For most use cases, real-time syncing is achievable by selecting immediate triggers. If not feasible, periodic syncing options like every 15 minutes might be suitable.
Are there limits on how much data can be transferred from BambooHR to Google Sheets?
Data transfer limits depend on both your account plan with us and any limitations set by either application. Large datasets might require chunking strategies implemented via our platform for optimal performance.
Do I need any special permissions in BambooHR or Google Sheets for this integration?
Yes, ensure you have administrative access in both BambooHR and editing permissions in the target Google Sheet for successful setup and operation of the integration.
