Store time tracking clock entries
The "store time tracking clock entries" endpoint allows you to create or update multiple time tracking entries for employees in bamboohr. this endpoint is used to record working hours, including start and end times, dates, and optional project, task, and note information. it's particularly useful for batch processing of time entries, such as at the end of a pay period or when synchronizing data from another system. use this endpoint when you need to add new time entries or modify existing ones in bulk. it supports creating new entries and updating existing ones by specifying the entry id. the endpoint is designed for efficiency, allowing multiple entries to be processed in a single api call. note that this endpoint does not handle time entry approval workflows or payroll calculations directly. it's primarily for data entry and updates. ensure that the employee ids, project ids, and task ids used in the request correspond to valid entities in your bamboohr system to avoid errors.
Why this helps

Recurring trigger

Add benefit group employee record
This endpoint allows you to associate an employee with a specific benefit group in bamboohr for a defined period. it's used when you need to enroll an employee in a new benefits package or update their existing benefits enrollment. the association can be set for a specific time frame or left open-ended for ongoing enrollment. this tool is particularly useful for hr administrators managing employee benefits, especially during onboarding, annual enrollment periods, or when an employee's benefit status changes. note that this endpoint only creates the association; it doesn't provide details about the benefits themselves or handle the actual enrollment process in specific benefit plans.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create employee benefit entry
Creates or updates an employee benefit in the bamboohr system. this endpoint allows you to manage various aspects of an employee's benefit enrollment, including coverage details, financial contributions, and enrollment status. it's primarily used when setting up new benefits for an employee, making changes to existing benefits, or updating enrollment statuses. the endpoint is versatile, handling different types of benefits with various contribution structures for both employees and the company. it's important to note that while many fields are optional, they may be required depending on the specific benefit type and company policies. this endpoint should not be used for bulk updates or to retrieve benefit information; separate endpoints likely exist for those purposes.
Comment Received Trigger

Create employee dependent record
This endpoint allows you to create a new dependent for an existing employee in the bamboohr system. it is used to add family members or other individuals who are dependent on the employee, which is crucial for benefits administration, tax purposes, and other hr-related tasks. the endpoint requires detailed information about the dependent, including personal details, contact information, and status indicators. it should be used when onboarding new employees with dependents, updating family information, or managing benefits enrollment periods. note that some fields contain sensitive personal information, so ensure proper data security measures are in place when using this endpoint.
Issue Created Trigger

Modify employee withholding details
This endpoint updates an employee's withholding information for tax purposes in the bamboohr system. it allows modification of federal, state, and local tax withholding amounts, including any additional withholdings, as well as specifying the applicable tax state and local jurisdiction. this tool should be used when there are changes to an employee's tax situation, such as filing status changes, additional jobs, or relocation. it's crucial for maintaining accurate payroll calculations and tax compliance. the endpoint doesn't calculate tax amounts; it only updates the stored values based on the provided information. users should ensure they have the correct withholding information before making updates, as incorrect data may lead to under or over-withholding of taxes.
