BrightHR HR, payroll and shifts # Connect BrightHR to Hypamoon Yes, with one catch. BrightHR has an open API that you can use yourself, but it signs in with OAuth only, and that takes more work in a Hypamoon adapter today. Open ## The check Three questions about the API of BrightHR, answered from its own docs. **Public API docs**\ **Yes.** Public Bright Customer API documentation with guides and reference. [Read the docs](https://docs.bright.hr) **A key you create yourself**\ **Yes.** A BrightHR administrator creates an application on the API Management page and generates a client secret. [docs.bright.hr](https://docs.bright.hr/gettingstarted) **Versions or a changelog**\ **Yes.** Versioned paths such as /employees/v1/. [docs.bright.hr](https://docs.bright.hr/gettingstarted) **How it signs in**\ OAuth 2.0 client credentials from an application an admin creates in BrightHR; bearer tokens last an hour. **Webhooks**\ **Not confirmed.** **Hosting**\ Cloud ## What you can build See today's absences and holiday balances in your own screen and add new starters to BrightHR from your hiring flow. Your chat writes it as a Hypamoon adapter from the docs above. Reading starts after you click Allow in the portal, and every write waits for your approval, one call at a time. [How adapters work](https://hypamoon.com/docs/adapters) ### Good to know - BrightHR signs in with OAuth or signed requests only, with tokens that expire. The Hypamoon vault holds a fixed key today, so an adapter for BrightHR takes more work: ask your chat to check this first. ## Try it in your chat Fill in what to read and write, and send it.
