Practical ways you can use BambooHR and Google Calendar
Add new employees' start dates to Google Calendar
When a new employee is added to BambooHR, Zapier schedules an event in Google Calendar for their start date. This keeps leadership aligned on new team member onboarding timelines.
Business Owner
Track time-off events in Google Calendar
When a time-off request is approved in BambooHR, Zapier creates a detailed event in Google Calendar with the employee's name, dates, and reason for leave. This ensures the team stays informed about availability without manual updates.
Engineering
Sync terminated employees to IT notifications
When an employee is terminated in BambooHR, Zapier sends a custom notification or task to the IT team's system. This helps ensure offboarding tasks, such as revoking access, are completed promptly.
