Source actions

Data types

Validation status

Implemented · fixture tested.

Implementation is checked against provider-shaped fixtures for every action, authentication failures, rate limits, pagination and duplicate safety. Provider sandbox and authorised account validation are recorded separately when credential-backed runs are completed.

Authentication

Service user ID and token

Plans and access

HiBob customers with API access; service users are created by Bob admins. Each service user sees only the fields and employees its permission group allows; fields without permission are omitted silently.

Test environment

HiBob provides sandbox environments to customers and partners on request.

Rate limits

Per-endpoint limits (people search 50 requests per minute); HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Reset. Repeated 401/403 responses can block the source IP for five minutes.

Provider events

Webhooks for employee, time off and task events. Nexra event triggers are not yet available; flows run on demand or on a schedule.

Before you build a flow

Active employee reads only. Missing requested fields fail clearly; service-user category permissions and employee audience determine coverage. No HR writes or salary access. Credential-backed validation remains pending.
People search filters support only root.id or root.email with equals; for large companies search by ID batches.
Fields the service user cannot view are omitted from responses without an error.
Employee updates change only fields sent; table entries (work, employment, lifecycle) and position fields cannot be updated this way. HiBob answers 304 when nothing changed, which Nexra reports as an error.
Reads can lag updates by up to 20 seconds.
Salary, payroll and bank fields are not requested by default.
