FAQS_

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up BreatheHR with Bindbee?

Most customers complete setup in under 10 minutes. Your end-user authenticates via Magic Link, and initial data sync begins immediately.

Does Bindbee support BreatheHR custom fields?

Yes. Enable include_custom_fields=true in your API requests. Custom fields appear in the custom_fields object with their original field names from BreatheHR.

How often does Bindbee sync data from BreatheHR?

After initial sync, Bindbee runs incremental syncs automatically. Frequency depends on your plan. You can also trigger manual syncs via the API or dashboard.

Can I get organizational hierarchy from BreatheHR?

Yes. The manager field on Employee objects contains the manager's Bindbee ID. You can expand this to get full manager details. Department and division fields are also available.

Does Bindbee sync terminated employees from BreatheHR?

Yes. Use employment_status=INACTIVE or check the termination_date field to filter. Historical employee data remains accessible through the API.

What happens if BreatheHR's API is down?

Bindbee caches synced data, so your API calls continue working. We retry failed syncs automatically and notify you of persistent issues via webhooks.

Can I write data back to BreatheHR?

Write-back support varies by integration. Contact Bindbee for current BreatheHR write capabilities including employee creation and updates.

How do I handle pagination with large BreatheHR datasets?

Bindbee uses cursor-based pagination. Each response includes a cursor value—pass it in your next request to get the next page. Use page_size (max 100) to control results per page.

Does Bindbee provide webhooks for BreatheHR?

Yes. Configure webhooks to receive notifications when connector syncs complete, employee data changes, or sync errors occur. See our webhooks documentation.

Is BreatheHR data available in real-time?

Bindbee syncs data periodically, not in real-time. For most use cases, near-real-time data (synced every few hours) is sufficient. Webhooks notify you when new data is available.
