Integration

How it works.

The integration allows for shared clients to easily configure the synchronization of personnel information from BambooHR to Ability SMARTFORCE. To set up the immigration a user will need to go through three steps:

Creation of an API key to be used by Ability SMARTFORCE.
Mapping of BambooHR positions to the corresponding Ability SMARTFORCE job types.
Mapping of BambooHR locations to the corresponding Ability SMARTFORCE departments. Once that is completed from within the Ability SMARTFORCE application personnel data will be synchronized daily from BambooHR to Ability SMARTFORCE.
