    Reads employees' fields in one call, optionally only the one with a given email address or employee ID, and optionally including inactive (terminated) people.

  • Get an employee

    Reads one employee by Bob employee ID or email address.

  • List employee fields

    Lists every employee field defined in Bob (the metadata, not values): each with id (the dot-notation ID "Find employees" takes), name, categoryId, type (text, date, list, currency …) and jsonPath.

  • List who's out

    Lists time off between two dates for the people the service user can see, optionally including pending and hourly requests (private ones are left out).

  • List who's out on a day

    Lists the people with time off on one day (today, in UTC, if left out), optionally at one site.

  • List time-off request changes

    Lists time-off requests that were created, updated or deleted since a time (at most six months back, and a range of at most six months), optionally including requests that became pending.

  • Get a time-off request

    Reads one time-off request of an employee.

  • Get a time-off balance

    Reads an employee's balance for one policy type (a name from "List policy types", like Holiday) as of a date.

  • List time-off policy types

    Lists the names of the company's time-off policy types (Holiday, Sick …), which the balance and request actions take.

Write 3

Create, change or send.

  • Request time off (days)

    Submits a time-off request in days for an employee under a policy type, from a start date to an end date, optionally starting in the afternoon or ending at midday, with a note.

  • Request time off (hours)

    Submits a time-off request for some hours and minutes on one day, for a policy type measured in hours, with an optional note.

  • Cancel a time-off requestDeletes data

    Cancels an employee's existing time-off request (pending or approved).

A person can approve first

Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.

Connection

How it connects

Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.

Kept safe

  • Calls go only to the tool's own servers.

How we protect your data

Ideas

Ideas to start with

Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.

  • 01

    Ask about your HiBob data

    Ask a question in plain words. The agent can find employees, get an employee or list employee fields in HiBob, then answers with what it found.

  • 02

    Let an agent update HiBob

    Have the agent request time off (days) or request time off (hours) in HiBob as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.

  • 03

    Share what it finds in Slack

    Give one agent HiBob and Slack: it can find employees in HiBob and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
