How It Works

How the Aquera + BambooHR integration works

Aquera reads every joiner, mover, and leaver event from BambooHR, automates provisioning across identity and IT, raises onboarding and offboarding tickets in your ITSM automatically, and keeps 1,000+ applications in sync, all with a full audit trail.

1 READ EVENTS

Aquera reads joiner, mover, and leaver events from BambooHR

Aquera connects to BambooHR and detects every hire, transfer, and termination, transforming workforce data into identity-ready events.

2 PREBOARD

Preboard prehires, create accounts, and assign access on Day 1

Aquera preboarding starts before the start date, creating directory accounts, opening ITSM tickets, and assigning app access exactly on time.

3 SYNC & DEPROVISION

Keep payroll, benefits, and 1,000+ apps in sync; deprovision on exit

Bi-directional sync keeps downstream systems current on every BambooHR change; deprovisioning fires automatically on termination with a full audit trail.

Frequently asked questions

What does Aquera do for BambooHR? +

Aquera turns BambooHR joiner, mover, and leaver events into complete IT onboarding and offboarding across your directories, service desk, and applications. It handles identity and application provisioning, IT ticketing, and data lake loading, all monitored and audited by the Aquera Operations Center. Aquera configures it point-and-click, with no scripting and no manual tickets.

What BambooHR events trigger Aquera, and how quickly does it sync? +

Aquera preboarding pulls hire data from your recruiting or ATS system before the employee’s UKG start date. Identity records, directory accounts, app access, and ITSM tickets are created on a future-dated schedule so everything is ready on Day 1, even before the record appears in UKG.

Which directories and identity platforms does Aquera connect to BambooHR? +

Aquera imports and synchronizes BambooHR worker profiles to Microsoft 365, Azure AD, Active Directory, Google Workspace, Okta, SailPoint, CyberArk, Ping Identity, JumpCloud, One Identity, and Oracle IDCS.

Will new hires have accounts ready on Day 1? +

Yes. Aquera creates the directory account, unique username, rule-based groups, and Microsoft 365 license and mailbox when BambooHR records the hire. Early and future-dated scheduling lets provisioning happen days ahead of the hire date, in the user’s local time zone.

What happens in connected systems when someone’s role changes in BambooHR? +

Aquera syncs role, department, and attribute changes to every connected directory, identity platform, and application, so access matches the current role. A flexible rules engine places workers into the right target groups. Role-change tickets can be generated from your own templates.

What happens when an employee leaves? +

When an employee’s status changes in BambooHR, Aquera removes their access across the directory, identity platform, and all connected applications. This closes the security gap from delayed offboarding and reclaims unused licenses. Offboarding tickets are raised in your service desk at the same time.

Which applications can Aquera provision from BambooHR data? +

Aquera provisions and deprovisions across 1,000+ pre-built connectors plus unlimited SCIM, on one engine and one policy model, with no scripting. In Microsoft Entra ID environments, point-and-click Access Bundles assign users to applications and the right groups within them. Continuous synchronization detects and corrects out-of-policy drift.

How does Aquera work with our IT service management platform? +

Aquera opens, updates, and closes tickets and tasks in your ITSM from BambooHR events, using your own ticket templates. This covers the physical steps that still need human hands, such as badges, laptops, and desk assignments. Supported platforms named on the Aquera BambooHR page include ServiceNow, Jira, Ivanti, Freshservice, and Zendesk. Approved catalog requests become real access in your identity provider.

Can we use BambooHR workforce data for analytics? +

Yes. Aquera HR Data Bridge lands BambooHR HR core, payroll, time, and benefits data, including custom fields, in a database or data lake you own. Supported targets are PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, Databricks, Fabric, and Redshift. The data arrives normalized with keys, effective dating, and data-quality tests, and production Power BI dashboards are included. The landing zone is least-privilege with PII masking, and HR Data Bridge never writes back to BambooHR.

How does Aquera keep automated changes safe and auditable? +

The Aquera Operations Center records every onboarding and offboarding action in one unified log. Fail-safe checks stop runaway changes before they sync. Risky changes route to a review queue for approval. Every exception carries a root cause and steps to resolve it.

What does setup involve, and does it require custom code? +

Aquera configures the platform for you. It connects your BambooHR tenant, then you select your target directories, identity platforms, ITSM, and applications. Aquera maps BambooHR fields to destination fields and sets your group-placement and provisioning rules. You choose scheduled or webhook-triggered sync. No custom code is required, and Aquera builds and maintains the connectors. Employee # in BambooHR is the matching key to Employee ID in Aquera. Data can flow both ways, with optional write-back of attributes to BambooHR. To get started, contact sales@aquera.com.

Is Aquera secure, and what support is available? +

Aquera is SOC 2 Type 2 audited, ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certified, and runs on Amazon Web Services. It serves 1,500+ organizations and is a BambooHR integrations partner. Support is available 24/7 at +1.800.288.3256 or support@aquera.com.
