Visualization of Typeform to BambooHR offboarding automation workflow

What This Workflow Does

This automation solves the common HR challenge of maintaining accurate employee records during offboarding. When employees leave, HR teams typically spend hours manually transferring exit information from forms to HR systems. This workflow eliminates that inefficiency by automatically syncing Typeform responses to BambooHR.

The solution captures all critical offboarding details - last working day, reason for leaving, equipment returns, and exit interview feedback - then updates the corresponding BambooHR employee record instantly. This ensures compliance, reduces administrative errors, and gives HR teams real-time visibility into departures.

How It Works

1. Employee completes offboarding Typeform

Departing employees receive a customized Typeform that collects all necessary exit information. The form can include conditional logic to show/hide questions based on employment type or departure reason.

2. Make.com triggers on form submission

The workflow automatically starts when the employee submits their completed Typeform. Make.com captures all response data and prepares it for processing.

3. Data validation and transformation

The system verifies data completeness, formats fields correctly for BambooHR, and maps Typeform responses to the appropriate BambooHR employee record fields.

4. BambooHR record update

The workflow updates the employee's BambooHR profile with the offboarding details, including status change, departure date, and any custom fields your organization tracks.

5. Confirmation and notifications

HR receives an instant notification with the submitted data and a confirmation that BambooHR has been updated. Optional: Send the employee a confirmation receipt.

Pro tip: Add a webhook step to notify IT automatically when equipment return fields indicate outstanding devices, triggering your asset recovery process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HR automation and employee offboarding

Automating offboarding ensures consistent exit procedures, reduces HR workload by 60-80%, and prevents data errors during manual transfers. It creates audit trails for compliance while improving the employee experience during transitions.

For example, a 300-employee tech company reduced their offboarding processing time from 3 hours per case to just 20 minutes while eliminating all data entry mistakes in BambooHR records.

Essential offboarding data includes last working day, reason for leaving, equipment returns, knowledge transfer status, and exit interview feedback. The Typeform can be customized to collect company-specific details like project handovers or client transition notes.

We recommend separating must-have legal/compliance fields from optional feedback sections. This ensures critical data gets captured while maintaining form completion rates.

The integration eliminates duplicate data entry, reduces offboarding processing time from hours to minutes, and ensures BambooHR records are always current. HR teams gain real-time visibility into exit processes without manual follow-ups.

One client reported saving 40 administrative hours monthly while improving their ability to analyze turnover trends through automatically updated BambooHR reports.

Yes, the workflow can be configured to handle voluntary resignations, retirements, terminations, and contract endings. Conditional logic in Typeform can route different departure types to appropriate BambooHR fields and trigger different notification workflows.

For terminations, you might add extra approval steps or documentation requirements that wouldn't apply for voluntary resignations.

The workflow uses encrypted connections between systems, follows principle of least privilege for API access, and can be configured to mask sensitive fields. Audit logs track all data changes for compliance reporting.

We recommend reviewing API permissions to ensure BambooHR access is limited to only necessary fields, and setting Typeform data retention policies that match your HR recordkeeping requirements.

Updates sync to BambooHR within 1-2 minutes of form completion. The workflow includes validation steps to prevent errors, with automatic alerts if any data fails to transfer correctly.

For time-sensitive updates like immediate terminations, you can configure priority processing that bypasses standard queues for urgent cases.

Yes, the workflow can be modified to route submissions for manager or HR approval before updating records. Approval workflows can be configured based on employee role, department, or termination type.

Common approval setups include requiring HR director sign-off for executive departures or having IT confirm equipment returns before finalizing the record update.
