Auto-Create Employees When New Hires Are Announced

When your team creates a Linear issue for a new hire, Notis automatically creates the corresponding employee record in Bamboohr. No more manual data entry between systems.

Trigger

Issue Created Trigger

Triggered when a new issue is created.

Action

Create new employee

Creates a new employee record in the bamboohr system. this endpoint allows you to add a new employee to your company's hr database by providing essential information such as first name and last name. it's typically used when onboarding new hires or adding existing employees to the bamboohr system for the first time. the endpoint supports additional properties beyond the required fields, allowing for flexible and comprehensive employee data entry. however, it's important to note that this endpoint only initiates the employee record and may not include all possible employee information fields available in bamboohr.

Why this helps

Manually creating new employee records in Bamboohr for each new hire slows down onboarding and duplicates work across systems.

  • Instantly create employee records
  • Reduce duplicate data entry
  • Faster onboarding process
  • Fewer dropped steps

Setup

  • 1Connect Linear and Bamboohr integrations to Notis via the portal (one-time setup)
  • 2Create a new automation with the prompt: 'When a new issue is created in our hiring team, create an employee record in Bamboohr with the candidate name'
  • 3Select 'Issue Created' as your trigger and choose which Linear team or project to watch
  • 4Pick a Slack channel or email where Notis reports each automation run
  • 5Test by creating a real new hire issue in Linear and verify the employee appears in Bamboohr

Questions about this workflow

What employee fields get filled in automatically?

Notis extracts the name from the Linear issue. Other fields like title, salary, or start date can be filled in Bamboohr afterward or included in your Linear issue description.

Can I customize which issues trigger this automation?

Yes, specify a team, project, or label in your prompt. For example: 'when a new issue with the hiring label is created'.

What if the employee already exists in Bamboohr?

Notis will attempt to create a new record. You can refine the prompt to check for duplicates if needed.
