How Certifier integrates with BambooHR
Certifier integrates with BambooHR through connectors like Zapier. Employee and training records stay in BambooHR, while Certifier handles credential design, delivery, and management externally.
Once connected, selected BambooHR events — such as report changes or employee field updates — can trigger the workflow. The connector passes the relevant employee data to Certifier, which automatically fills in and emails a personalized certificate, badge, or credential using your template.
With different triggers to choose from, the integration can support several employee recognition workflows, including onboarding and internal compliance training.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can restrict certificates with Zapier Filters. Add a “Filter by Zapier” step after the BambooHR trigger, then choose a field such as “Department,” “Job Title,” or an available custom field.
Next, set the “Only continue if…” rule by choosing a field, condition such as “Exactly matches,” and required value. If different programs need different rules, use separate Zaps.
You can automate certificates for several major milestones recorded in BambooHR fields, reports, or supported events. This includes new-hire onboarding, promotions, role qualifications, and internal development achievements.
When the relevant BambooHR data changes, Zapier can trigger Certifier’s “Issue Credential” action and send the corresponding certificate or badge.
Expirable certificates and custom domains are available on different plans. The Professional plan includes credential expiry, alongside advanced recipient analytics and a custom email domain for credential delivery.
In addition to these features, the Advanced Certifier plan lets you customize the domain where you host the credentials and fully brand the recipient portal where people access, share, and verify them.
Yes, you can route different BambooHR events to specific Certifier Groups or templates.
For example, a “New Employee Started” trigger can issue an onboarding certificate, while a role or department change can trigger a specialized compliance credential. You can manage these routes using individual Zaps for distinct events.
Yes, the Certifier dashboard lets your team track credential delivery and recipient engagement.
From here, you can see whether a credential email was successfully sent, opened, or bounced, along with recipient actions like downloads, LinkedIn shares, and URL clicks. If an email bounces, Certifier shows the reason so you can correct the address and resend it.
Yes, employees can still access their credentials after leaving the company, unless HR expires or deletes them.
However, if downloads or other actions are restricted to verified owners, they’ll need access to their original work email to confirm ownership. You can update the recipient email on the issued credential if needed.
