BambooHR HR events — new hire onboarding, time-off approvals, performance reviews, and employee departures — start conversations that span Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom.
SyncRivo does not relay bot or app messages — it bridges the human conversation, so HR, managers, and IT on different chat platforms can coordinate in one bridged channel.
These events are delivered by BambooHR and its integrations; SyncRivo bridges the human discussion that follows.
New hire events that BambooHR or your automation tool posts to a department channel — the starting point for the onboarding conversation between HR, the manager, and IT.
Leave approval events delivered by BambooHR's own notifications or integration, so managers can plan coverage.
Denial notifications delivered by BambooHR so the employee can resubmit or discuss with their manager.
Review cycle reminders sent by BambooHR to employees and managers.
Departure events that prompt IT deprovisioning and manager transition planning — coordinated in a channel SyncRivo can bridge between Slack and Teams.
Role change, department transfer, and manager change events available through BambooHR webhooks for your automation tooling.
BambooHR delivers the notifications; SyncRivo bridges the conversation between chat platforms.
Enable BambooHR notifications
In BambooHR, enable the Slack integration or email notifications for Employee Added, Time-Off Approved, and Employee Terminated events.
Use BambooHR webhooks with your automation tool
In BambooHR, go to Apps → Webhooks if you need events delivered to other systems through your automation tooling.
Connect Slack and Teams to SyncRivo
Connect your Slack workspace and Microsoft Teams tenant to SyncRivo. Workspace and tenant admins approve the apps.
Bridge the onboarding discussion channel
Bridge the channel where HR, managers, and IT coordinate onboarding. Human messages sync both ways; bot and app posts are not relayed.
Test the bridge
Post a message in the bridged Slack channel and confirm that people in the Teams channel see it and can reply.
BambooHR's Zapier Slack integration posts HR notifications. SyncRivo bridges human conversations between chat platforms.

BambooHR does not have a native Microsoft Teams integration. BambooHR's marketplace includes a Slack integration (via Zapier or direct webhook) that can post new hire and time-off notifications to Slack channels. SyncRivo does not fill that gap: it does not accept BambooHR webhooks and does not relay messages posted by bots or apps. SyncRivo bridges the human conversation between Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, and Zoom Team Chat.
BambooHR supports outbound webhooks via its API and through Zapier, so a Teams notification needs an automation tool or a Teams-side workflow that accepts the webhook. SyncRivo is not an automation tool and does not receive BambooHR webhooks. Once the notification is posted, SyncRivo can bridge the channel where HR, managers, and IT discuss onboarding across Slack and Teams.
Only through BambooHR's own integrations or an automation tool that posts to each platform. SyncRivo does not route BambooHR events. What SyncRivo does is bridge the human discussion, so HR on Slack and a hiring manager on Teams can coordinate onboarding in one conversation.
None — SyncRivo does not route BambooHR events and does not relay bot or app posts. BambooHR webhooks (new employee added, time-off approved or denied, departures, custom field changes) must be delivered by BambooHR's own integrations or an automation tool. SyncRivo bridges the conversations people have about them across chat platforms.
No. SyncRivo does not connect to BambooHR or process BambooHR payloads. For the chat messages it bridges, message content is not stored on the normal relay path, traffic is encrypted in transit (TLS), and provider OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest.
They do different jobs. BambooHR's Slack integration (available via Zapier) posts new hire and time-off notifications to Slack. SyncRivo is a messaging interoperability platform that bridges human conversations between Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, and Zoom Team Chat — it does not relay bot or app messages or create tickets in other tools.
