How to connect GoCanvas and BambooHR
Create a New Scenario to Connect GoCanvas and BambooHR
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a GoCanvas, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, GoCanvas or BambooHR will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find GoCanvas or BambooHR, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the GoCanvas Node
Select the GoCanvas node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring GoCanvas, BambooHR, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the GoCanvas and BambooHR integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GoCanvas and BambooHR (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect GoCanvas and BambooHR
GoCanvas + BambooHR + Slack: When a new submission indicates a failed safety inspection in GoCanvas, the system retrieves employee information from BambooHR and sends a notification to the safety team in Slack.
BambooHR + GoCanvas + Google Sheets: When a new employee is added in BambooHR, a safety training form is automatically created in GoCanvas and the training status is tracked in Google Sheets.
