How this automation works

Create new employee records in BambooHR automatically from Trello cards to speed up onboarding. This Applet runs whenever a card is added to the specified Trello list and creates a new employee in BambooHR using the card's details. It's ideal for HR and hiring teams who track candidates or new hires in Trello and want to avoid manual data entry into BambooHR.
