# Linking BambooHR as a source - Docs

**Alpha release**

This source is currently in **alpha**. The interface and available tables may change.

The BambooHR connector syncs your HR data – employees, time off requests and types, and account metadata – into PostHog.

## Adding a data source

1.  Go to the [sources tab](https://app.posthog.com/data-management/sources) of the data pipeline section in PostHog.
2.  Click **\+ New source** and then click **Link** next to BambooHR.
3.  Next, you need your company subdomain and an API key from BambooHR. Your **company subdomain** is the first part of your BambooHR URL (for example `yourcompany` in `yourcompany.bamboohr.com`). To generate an **API key**, go to **Account Settings → API Keys** (this requires admin permissions) and make sure the key has access to the data you want to sync.
4.  Back in PostHog, enter the credentials in the `Company subdomain` and `API key` fields and click **Next**.
5.  Select the tables you want to sync, set the sync method and frequency, then click **Import**.

Once the syncs are complete, you can start using BambooHR data in PostHog.

## Available tables

| Table | Description | Sync method |
| --- | --- | --- |
| employees | Employee directory | Full refresh |
| time_off_requests | Time off requests | Full refresh |
| time_off_types | Time off type definitions | Full refresh |
| meta_fields | Field definitions in your account | Full refresh |
| meta_lists | List field options | Full refresh |
| meta_users | Users with account access | Full refresh |

**Incremental** tables sync only new or updated records on each run. **Full refresh** tables reload all data on each sync.

## Sync limitations

All BambooHR tables are full refresh only – the BambooHR API does not expose a verified "modified since" filter that returns complete records, so each sync reloads all data.

## Configuration

| Option | Type | Required |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Company subdomain | text | Yes |
| API key | password | Yes |
