# Ray and BambooHR

> Who is out next week, who is hiring, and who just joined.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect BambooHR and it can do the BambooHR part of a request without anyone leaving the conversation: read what it needs, draft the change, and post it for approval before anything is written. 25 reads run without asking. 7 actions wait for a human approval.

## What Ray reads in BambooHR

Reading changes nothing, so Ray never stops to ask whether it may look something up.

- Time off: requests, balances, policies and the types behind them
- The employee directory, and one person's record when you ask by name
- Job openings, applications and the statuses they sit in
- Departments, divisions, locations and job titles

## What waits for your approval

Every one of these posts an approval card in the thread showing exactly what is about to happen. Nothing runs until someone clicks approve, and no setting turns that off.

- Requesting time off for someone
- Adding an employee, or changing fields on a record
- Opening a job and adding candidates to it

## Things Ray is never handed

These are left out during curation, so they are not something Ray could do and decides against. They are not in front of it at all.

- Read or add employee dependents, or their benefit enrolment events
- Download reports, custom field exports or employee photos
- Approve, deny or cancel a time-off request

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray who is off next week?"

## Connecting BambooHR

BambooHR has no per-person login, so it connects once with a single workspace key and covers the whole team. Ray reaches whatever that key reaches, and every write still stops for approval first. The key is pasted on Ray's own connect page, never in chat, and it never reaches the model. Disconnecting BambooHR or uninstalling Ray revokes the connection.
