salt.modules.bamboohr

Support for BambooHR

Requires a subdomain and an apikey in /etc/salt/minion:

bamboohr:
  apikey: 012345678901234567890
  subdomain: mycompany

salt.modules.bamboohr.list_employees(order_by='id')

Show all employees for this company.

CLI Example:

salt myminion bamboohr.list_employees

By default, the return data will be keyed by ID. However, it can be ordered by any other field. Keep in mind that if the field that is chosen contains duplicate values (i.e., location is used, for a company which only has one location), then each duplicate value will be overwritten by the previous. Therefore, it is advisable to only sort by fields that are guaranteed to be unique.

CLI Examples:

salt myminion bamboohr.list_employees order_by=id
salt myminion bamboohr.list_employees order_by=displayName
salt myminion bamboohr.list_employees order_by=workEmail

salt.modules.bamboohr.list_meta_fields()

Show all meta data fields for this company.

CLI Example:

salt myminion bamboohr.list_meta_fields

salt.modules.bamboohr.list_users(order_by='id')

Show all users for this company.

CLI Example:

salt myminion bamboohr.list_users

By default, the return data will be keyed by ID. However, it can be ordered by any other field. Keep in mind that if the field that is chosen contains duplicate values (i.e., location is used, for a company which only has one location), then each duplicate value will be overwritten by the previous. Therefore, it is advisable to only sort by fields that are guaranteed to be unique.

CLI Examples:

salt myminion bamboohr.list_users order_by=id
salt myminion bamboohr.list_users order_by=email

salt.modules.bamboohr.show_employee(emp_id, fields=None)

Show all employees for this company.

• department

• displayName

• firstName

• id

• jobTitle

• lastName

• location

• mobilePhone

• nickname

• photoUploaded

• photoUrl

If needed, a different set of fields may be specified, separated by commas:

salt.modules.bamboohr.update_employee(emp_id, key=None, value=None, items=None)

Update one or more items for this employee. Specifying an empty value will clear it for that employee.
