How to synchronize your Bamboohr.com Calendars with Google

May 2025

BambooHR.com is a comprehensive HR management platform that streamlines essential HR processes like payroll, time tracking, and employee data management. Its intuitive interface and robust reporting capabilities make it an invaluable tool for businesses of all sizes, helping HR teams save time and maintain accurate records while ensuring compliance with employment regulations.

However, BambooHR doesn't offer any calendar synchronization tool. This is where Calensync comes in, allowing you to synchronize your Bamboo calendar into Google and Outlook. It has an average synchronization interval of 15 minutes (and maximum of 30 minutes), and provides several controls to customize the privacy settings, filtering rules, and event the location.

Let's get started with the setup process!

Step 1: Create a Calensync Account

Visit the login page and sign up using your Google account.

Step 2: Connect your Google Calendars

Navigate to the dashboard's accounts tab and connect the Google account containing the calendars you want to synchronize.

Step 5: Create an Event Synchronization

Your BambooHR.com events will begin synchronizing immediately and continue automatically until you remove the synchronization rule.
