Integration

How it works

Donut connects to BambooHR through Merge, a secure integration used by thousands of apps. Authorize once, and Donut pulls in new hires, org structure, managers, and other key data, powering onboarding, org updates, and milestone celebrations with no spreadsheets.

How to Install:

Go to your Donut admin settings and select "Connect HRIS." Choose BambooHR, then sign in through Merge's secure link — this authorizes Donut without sharing your login. From there, Donut syncs your team automatically, making it simple to set up smart, engaging automations for onboarding, celebrations, recognition, and more.
