Mentorly + BambooHR Integration
Run mentorship programs on the people you manage in BambooHR: export a standard report, import with Mentorly's template, and let them sign in with your identity provider.
How It Works
From BambooHR to a running program in three steps
Export
Export the people you want from BambooHR: name, work email, department, job title and manager.
Import
Paste the columns into Mentorly's member template (email, name, mentor, role, cohort, tags and your onboarding questions) and import. Mentorly matches on email, so nothing is duplicated. The import writes every system column as it is in the file, blank included, so for a re-import start from Mentorly's member export.
Sign in
Your people sign in with SAML 2.0 from your identity provider, and get their Mentorly invitation when you send it.
Getting your people out of BambooHR
In BambooHR, open Reports, then Standard Reports, and export as Excel or CSV. The Directory also exports a CSV whose columns BambooHR documents as name, supervisor, department, job title, email and location.
Signing in
Mentorly signs people in with SAML 2.0 from your identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and others). BambooHR's documentation describes BambooHR as a SAML service provider, meaning it accepts sign-in from your identity provider but does not act as one, so Mentorly sign-in goes through the same identity provider, not through BambooHR.
About a live connector
Mentorly does not connect to the BambooHR API today. BambooHR's API (GET /api/v1/employees/directory, with names, job title, department, location, supervisor and work email) accepts an API key over basic authentication or OAuth 2.0 for partners. A connector that reads your BambooHR records on a schedule is scoped as a project with your team, not switched on in a settings page.

Use Cases for BambooHR Customers
Growing Teams
For companies of 50 to 500 people ready to formalize mentorship: one BambooHR export, one import, one program.
Culture Building
Put BambooHR's department, job title and location in the tags column and they become Mentorly tags, so cross-team pairs are a matching rule.
Simple Onboarding
Once a month, append the new hires to the onboarding program's member export and import it back; the people already there are matched by email, not created twice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I bring my BambooHR people into Mentorly?
Open Reports, then Standard Reports, export as CSV or Excel (or export the Directory as CSV), paste the columns into Mentorly's member template, and import.
Can my team sign in with their BambooHR login?
Mentorly signs people in with SAML 2.0 from your identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and others). BambooHR's documentation describes BambooHR as a SAML service provider, meaning it accepts sign-in from your identity provider but does not act as one, so Mentorly sign-in goes through the same identity provider, not through BambooHR.
Does Mentorly connect to BambooHR directly?
Mentorly does not connect to the BambooHR API today. BambooHR has an employees directory API behind an API key or OAuth 2.0. A connector that reads your BambooHR records on a schedule is scoped as a project with your team, not switched on in a settings page.
