Use Cases

People operations automation

Real scenarios where AI answers HR questions, manages employee data, and streamlines people operations through BambooHR.

Self-Service PTO Balance Inquiry

Employee messages asking how much vacation time they have remaining. Your AI Agent authenticates the request, calls BambooHR's Time Off endpoints to retrieve their current balances and approved requests, and provides the accurate PTO summary. HR inquiries that created ticket volume happen through instant self-service during normal conversation.

Career Site Applicant Capture

Prospective candidate engages with your career page chatbot about an open position. Your AI Agent qualifies their background, collects application details, calls BambooHR's ATS Create Candidate endpoint, and confirms their application submission. Applicant data entry that required manual input happens automatically during the candidate conversation.

Employee Directory Lookup

Team member needs contact information for a colleague in another department. Your AI Agent calls BambooHR's Get Employee endpoint with the colleague's name, retrieves their email, phone, and location information, and provides the directory lookup. Contact searches that required HRIS navigation happen through quick conversational queries.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent look up employee data?

The agent calls BambooHR's Employee API endpoints with employee ID or search criteria. The API returns profile fields based on the API key's permissions. Data includes contact information, department, job title, and custom fields you have configured.

Can the agent create candidate applications through BambooHR?

Yes. ATS Create Candidate accepts firstName, lastName, jobId, and additional fields like email, phone, and resume. The candidate enters your BambooHR hiring pipeline associated with the specified job opening.

What BambooHR API permissions does Tars need?

Tars requires a BambooHR API key generated from your account. API key permissions determine which fields and employees are accessible. For full HR operations, use an admin-level key. For employee self-service, use scoped permissions.

Does Tars store employee data from BambooHR?

No. Tars queries BambooHR's API in real-time during conversations. Employee names, contact details, and HR data are fetched live and used only to respond to current requests. All personnel data remains in BambooHR's secure environment.

Can the agent handle time-off balance inquiries?

Yes. The agent calls BambooHR's Time Off APIs to retrieve current balances, pending requests, and accrual information. Employees can check their PTO status through conversation without contacting HR.

What happens when adding employees with missing required fields?

BambooHR requires firstName and lastName at minimum. Additional required fields depend on your company configuration. The agent validates available data before calling Add Employee and reports missing requirements.

How is this different from BambooHR's employee self-service?

BambooHR's self-service requires portal login and navigation. Tars enables conversational HR access. Employees ask questions naturally and receive immediate answers without remembering how to navigate HR systems.

Can the agent access employees hired before the integration?

Yes. BambooHR's API provides access to your complete employee database. Historical employees, terminated records, and archived data are accessible based on your API key permissions and data retention settings.
