Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Harvest, 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 Harvest and BambooHR integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest 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 Harvest and BambooHR
BambooHR + Harvest + Slack: When a new employee is added in BambooHR, a timesheet profile is automatically created in Harvest. Then, a welcome message is sent to the new employee in Slack using their email found in BambooHR.
BambooHR + Harvest + Google Sheets: When a new time off request is submitted in BambooHR, and the status is changed, the approved time off is logged in Harvest as a time entry. The data, including employee, time off dates, and Harvest entry ID, is then summarized and added to a Google Sheet.
