If Bob doesn’t offer a native integration with a third-party system, there are a few ways to connect the two and automate data flow.
Set up a service user with the right permissions to pull or push employee data via API. This allows your third-party system to interact directly with Bob.
Use webhooks to send real-time updates when specific events happen in Bob - like onboarding completion, employee termination, or data changes - so your external system can react instantly.
Tools like Zapier or Workato can act as a bridge between Bob and your third-party system, helping automate workflows without building a direct integration.
Schedule reports in Bob and send them via SFTP to an external server. Your third-party system can then pick up this data at regular intervals.
The right approach depends on what the third-party system supports. It’s a good idea to check with their support team and involve your IT team to review capabilities, requirements, and any associated costs.
