What you can do
Four things you can do once BambooHR is connected
BambooHR handles HR data. Xoxoday adds rewards without adding a second admin platform, using the employee data already in BambooHR.
No second employee list to maintain
- Adds, updates, and exits flow through automatically
- Add an employee in BambooHR and they show up in Xoxoday on the next sync. Title changes, location moves, and exits flow through the same way. No manual upkeep, no leavers still showing as active.
- The org chart comes with it
- Department, manager, location, and title come along with every profile. Recognition, celebrations, and surveys stay pointed at the right people.
Celebrations and welcome moments, on their own
- Birthdays and anniversaries, on the day
- Birth dates and hire dates come in with each profile. Xoxoday sends the message and gift on the day, on its own. Anniversary rewards can grow with each year served.
- Welcome moments for new hires
- A new BambooHR profile triggers a Xoxoday welcome flow: a Day 1 introduction, a starter reward, or a peer-recognition prompt to a buddy.
Recognize people the right way
- Recognition with the right approvers
- Manager and reporting line come from BambooHR. Xoxoday can require manager approval on high-value awards, route reward budget by team, or surface recognition trends by department.
- Surveys and rewards by team, region, or role
- Xoxoday reads department, location, and title from BambooHR. Run a recognition program for engineering only, a survey for the EMEA region, or a milestone reward just for managers.
Run rewards and surveys in one place
- One catalog across recognition and rewards
- Peer-to-peer recognition, manager awards, milestone gifts, perks, and a company feed. All of it runs on the same BambooHR-fed list.
- Surveys with built-in segmentation
- Pulse and engagement surveys segment by the department, location, and tenure fields that come straight from BambooHR. No manual list building.
Use cases
Who runs it, and what for
Three patterns we see across BambooHR customers running Xoxoday.
Birthdays and anniversaries, sent automatically
Birthdays and work anniversaries get sent from the BambooHR dates. Reward amounts can grow with each year served (5-year, 10-year, 15-year), and manager approval can be routed automatically.
Peer recognition with a fresh directory
Managers and peers can recognize anyone in the org without picking from a stale list. New hires show up the day after they join. Leavers disappear on their exit date. Org changes flow through.
How it works
From BambooHR record to delivered reward
Step 1
Employee records sync from BambooHR
New hires, profile updates, and terminations flow from BambooHR to Empuls automatically. Empuls always reflects your current headcount.
Step 2
Celebrations trigger on the right day
Birthdays and work anniversaries are read from BambooHR. Empuls sends the celebration on the day without any manual scheduling.
Step 3
Recognition follows the org chart
Peer nominations and award approvals route through the reporting structure in BambooHR. Managers receive and approve in the correct order.
Step 4
Rewards reach the right inbox
Reward links go to the work email stored in BambooHR. Terminated employees are deactivated before any pending reward is delivered.
