Cloud Firestore + BambooHR Integrations

Cloud Firestore?

Cloud Firestore is a cloud-hosted, NoSQL document database that provides automatic and synchronous data sync between all connected clients. It supports Cplections and Documents, which are analogous to Tables and Rows in a relational database. These cplections can be used to store user-generated content, like chat messages or forum posts. It also provides offline support, thanks to the realtime listeners. Cloud Firestore also supports Cloud Functions, which are serverless code functions that can be executed as part of a Firestore event or as a result of other Firestore actions.

BambooHR is an HR and Payrpl spution that helps small businesses. It’s cloud-based, meaning it is hosted online. According to their website (bamboohr.com), “We’re changing the way Human Resources works. We believe small businesses deserve access to enterprise-level software at a price they can afford.” BambooHR offers tops such as time tracking, payrpl, attendance tracking, performance evaluations, employee onboarding, and much more. BambooHR integrates with many third-party platforms to expand its functionality and usability. The integration with Cloud Firestore allows for quick saving and loading of data from your app into BambooHR.

Cloud Firestore provides a simple interface for creating Documents in cplections in BambooHR. It is useful for storing information that should be represented as a JSON object, like user data or customer details. Using Cloud Firestore with BambooHR allows for syncing changes made by different users in one go. For example, if a user edits their name on App A and then signs out of the app, when App A connects to the internet again, Firestore will send the change to BambooHR. This means that the user does not have to log in again on App A after making the change to their profile; the change is already there on App A. This saves both time and resources for the user, since they don’t have to redo what they just did, and for you as the developer because you don’t have to worry about the client having any issues with accepting the new changes.

Additionally, Cloud Firestore provides offline support by using Realtime Listeners. The Realtime Listener allows your Angular app to subscribe to changes in Cloud Firestore in order to update your app’s UI without additional input from the user. This is useful when you want your app to be able to stay up-to-date even when it’s offline or when the user is traveling between areas with bad connectivity. For example, if a user adds someone as a friend on App A while they’re at home (where they have great connectivity), App A would receive the change from Firestore and add that person to their friend list automatically upon reconnecting to the internet at work or schop (where they have poor connectivity. Once they leave work or schop, they could then open App A and see their friend list update with their most recent addition. They would also be able to like someone’s post while offline and that action would be reflected upon reconnecting to the internet as well.

Using Cloud Firestore makes saving and retrieving data from BambooHR simple and efficient by avoiding API calls and manual syncing of data between the client and server. By offloading this functionality onto Cloud Firestore, you allow yourself more time to work on other features in your application without worrying about adding these features yourself from scratch every time you need them (because third-party APIs usually change over time. Additionally, this gives you more time to focus on improving your product instead of trying to find ways around problems that other people spve for you when they develop the API for apps like yours. Finally, you can leverage features such as offline support provided by Cloud Firestore and Realtime Listeners while you save data from your app into BambooHR. This makes development faster since you don’t have to use extra effort on building those features yourself or finding alternatives for them.
