- 1
Fetch Bamboo HR data
Add an
HTTP Requestnode (or the native Bamboo HR node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the Bamboo HR API. Poll Bamboo HR for new employee records and filter for urgency. Add aSchedule Triggerbefore it if this recipe runs on a timer, or aWebhooknode if Bamboo HR can push events directly. - 2
Shape the data with a Set node
Add a
Setnode after the fetch step to pull out the fields you need — e.g.id,title(orname),status, andupdated_atfrom the Bamboo HR employee record. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable. - 3
Send it to Airtable
Add an
Airtablenode set to operationCreate. Connect your token, pick theBaseandTable, and map fields from the Set node. - 4
Activate and test
Click
Activatein the top-right corner. Trigger a real employee record in Bamboo HR (or run the workflow manually against existing data) and confirm it lands correctly in Airtable. Once verified, this runs hands-off.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to code anything?
No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop builder. You connect your Bamboo HR and Airtable accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.
Where do I get my Bamboo HR API credentials?
In your Bamboo HR account settings, look for "API", "Developers" or "Integrations" and generate an API key or token. Paste it into n8n's HTTP Request node (as a header or credential) or the native Bamboo HR node if one is available.
Can I filter which items trigger this workflow?
Yes. Add an `IF` node after the Set node with a condition on any field (status, amount, tag, etc.). Wire the TRUE branch to the Airtable step and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.
