Why Use Bindbee Instead of Folks HR's Native API?

FAQS_

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up Folks HR with Bindbee?

Most customers complete setup in under 10 minutes. A Folks administrator generates an API key, enters it through Magic Link, and the initial sync starts immediately.

What credentials does my customer need to connect Folks HR?

A Folks V2 API key created by a company administrator under Admin → Company → API Key Management. The admin picks which modules the key can read, so it should include employees, absences, balances, positions, and departments.

Why is compensation or SIN data missing from my Folks HR sync?

Folks keeps salary and SIN behind a separate sensitive-data toggle on the API key. If pay_rate or ssn come back empty, ask your customer to edit the key and enable access to sensitive information.

Does Bindbee sync time-off requests from Folks HR?

Yes. The Time Off model returns request_type, status, start_time, end_time, amount, units, and the employee_note for each absence or vacation request.

Can I get leave balances from Folks HR?

Yes. The Time Off Balance model returns balance and used amounts by policy_type for each employee.

Can I get organizational hierarchy from Folks HR?

Yes. The manager field on Employee objects contains the manager's Bindbee ID. department is on both Employee and Employment, and groups come with a name and type.

Does Bindbee sync terminated employees from Folks HR?

Yes. Filter by employment_status=INACTIVE or check the termination_date field. Historical records remain accessible through the API.

How do I handle Folks HR API rate limits?

You don't. Bindbee manages rate limiting with the Folks API internally, caches data, and retries failed requests automatically.

Is my data secure with Bindbee?

Yes. Bindbee is SOC 2 Type II certified, ISO 27001 certified, HIPAA compliant, and GDPR ready. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we never store your customer's credentials on your servers.
