How to connect HR Partner to Binom: leave balances, time entries, job openings and candidate applications. Available on request.
The HR Partner integration with Binom helps with HR questions and hiring: your AI employee checks leave balances, logs hours worked and handles job applications. HR Partner is available on request in your Binom dashboard: Integrations → More integrations → HR Partner.
What Binom can do in HR Partner
Binom here means your AI employee. After you connect HR Partner, it calls the service's actions when a conversation needs that data. You decide which actions it can use. In the dashboard, each action is labeled: read (Binom only views data), write or delete (Binom changes or deletes data in HR Partner).
| Section | What Binom can view | What Binom can change |
|---|---|---|
| Leave | Balances, requests, absences | No |
| Time tracking | Timesheets | Time entries |
| Hiring | Job openings, candidates, applications, stages | Create or update a candidate and an application |
| Employees | Employees, birthdays, work anniversaries, training | Create or update |
| Reminders | Reminders | Edit and delete |
Can Binom check an employee's leave balance in HR Partner?
Yes. Binom shows the employee's balance ("Get All Leave Balances") and leave requests ("Get All Leave Requests").
Job application
Binom shares information about job openings ("Get All Job Listings"), creates a candidate ("Add Or Update An Applicant") and an application ("Add Or Update An Application").
Time entry
An employee writes how long they worked, and Binom adds an entry to the timesheet ("Add A Timesheet/Timeclock Entry").
What access you will need
Connection method: API key. You need administrator access to HR Partner's integration settings. Details for each method are shown in the "Authentication" block on the HR Partner page in your dashboard.
How to get the HR Partner integration
HR Partner is connected on request: first the Binom team sets up the integration for your account. The general catalog rules are described in the guide how to connect a service from "More integrations".
- Open Integrations → More integrations, type "HR Partner" in the "Search integrations" field and open the HR Partner card.
- The "HR Partner integration for assistant" page will show the message "Integration available on request. Request it now and we will set it up for you as a priority." The assistant here is your Binom. The "Authentication" block shows which access you will need, and the "Actions" list shows everything Binom can do in HR Partner.
- Click "Request integration". The message "Request sent. You will receive a notification when the integration is available." will appear, and the button will change to "Requested".
- A Binom team member will contact you about setup. When the integration is ready, a "Connect" button will appear on the HR Partner page.
- Click "Connect", go through the steps in the "Connect HR Partner" window and click "Done". After "Connecting…", the status will change to "Connected". If you see "Confirmation has not arrived yet. The connection may still complete, so check again in a minute.", click "Check again".
How to choose what Binom can do in HR Partner
A connected integration does nothing until you allow actions. The dashboard states this clearly: "Select the actions the assistant can call. Until something is selected, it has no access to any actions."
- On the HR Partner page, tick the actions you need in the "Actions" list. The "Filter actions" field helps you find them by name. The counter shows how many are selected.
- Check the "Ask before changing data" toggle. It is on by default: before a write or delete action, Binom will describe what it plans to do and wait for your reply.
- Click "Save". The message "Allowed actions saved" confirms the changes.
To start, "Get All Employees", "Get All Leave Balances", "Get All Job Listings" and "Add Or Update An Applicant" are enough. Add the edit and delete actions when you are ready to let Binom make changes in HR Partner.
How to check that the integration works
- Start a new conversation with your Binom, for example through a public chat link, ask for your leave balance and compare it with HR Partner.
Possible problems
Binom does not use HR Partner data in its answers
What to check: the HR Partner status is "Connected", and the needed actions are ticked (for example "Get All Leave Balances").
What to do: tick the actions and click "Save".
How to tell it is fixed: the message "Allowed actions saved" appears, and in a new conversation Binom answers using HR Partner data.
"Could not record the request. Please try again."
What to do: click "Request integration" again. If the message keeps appearing, write to support@binomai.com with the name of your Binom and the integration (HR Partner).
How to tell it is fixed: the button shows "Requested".
"Integration is temporarily unavailable. Your request has been recorded."
Nothing else is needed: your request is saved, and you will receive a notification when HR Partner can be connected.
"Reconnect required"
What this means: "The service no longer accepts the saved access, so the assistant is not using it."
What to do: open the HR Partner page in More integrations, click "Reconnect" and go through the connection window again.
How to tell it is fixed: the status shows "Connected".
"Could not start the connection. Please try again."
What to do: click "Connect" again. If the message keeps appearing, write to support@binomai.com with the name of your Binom, the integration (HR Partner) and a screenshot of the message.
How to tell it is fixed: the "Connect HR Partner" window opens.
"Available on a paid plan" instead of the connect button
The page will show "Available on a paid plan. Tell us what you need, and we will let you know when it launches." For what each plan includes, see the plans and subscription pricing page, and for how to change your plan, see the guide how to change or upgrade your plan. After changing your plan, go back to More integrations and open HR Partner again.
"You do not have permission to manage this section."
What this means: only users with the Owner or Admin access level can manage integrations.
What to do: ask the account owner to give you the Admin access level, or to connect HR Partner themselves. More details: access levels in a team.
How to tell it is fixed: after refreshing the page, the integration settings open.
If the problem is not solved, write to support@binomai.com or send "I want to talk to a person" in the Binom Tutor chat. Include the name of your Binom, the integration and a screenshot of the message.
How to disconnect HR Partner
On the HR Partner page, click "Disconnect". The "Disconnect HR Partner?" window will show a warning: "The assistant will lose access to the service. To restore it, the integration will need to be connected again and the access details entered again." Confirm, and the message "Integration disconnected" will appear.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a developer for the HR Partner integration?
No. You request HR Partner in the Integrations → More integrations section, the Binom team sets up the integration, and then you connect the account yourself and choose the actions.
