Check for active status, unique work emails, and required fields in BambooHR. Confirm the API key has directory permissions and the correct subdomain. Review any sync filters that exclude locations or departments. Fix records, then run a manual sync and verify results in the integration log.
PeopleGoal reads the Manager field from BambooHR. Update the manager in BambooHR, save, and run a manual sync. For dotted-line relationships, add secondary reviewers inside PeopleGoal. Avoid free-text manager names and duplicate profiles. Confirm the updated hierarchy before launching or continuing review cycles.
Confirm hire dates exist and match the rule used in PeopleGoal. Check the cycle’s start offset, participant criteria, and notification settings. Ensure the user was provisioned before the trigger window. Run a manual sync to refresh dates, then test with a small group before enabling automation.
Only mapped fields appear. In PeopleGoal, add the BambooHR fields to your profile schema and set display and reporting permissions. Ensure the fields are exposed to the BambooHR API and populated for sample users. Re-run a sync, then verify the fields within a test form and report.
Set anonymity at the cycle level, require a minimum number of raters, and use grouped results. Remove rater identifiers from exports and restrict timestamp visibility. Limit admin access to detailed rater data. Send a pilot cycle, download a sample export, and confirm anonymity before full launch.
