Frequently asked questions

Common questions about connecting BrightHR and Keeping.

How do I connect BrightHR and Keeping?

Connect your BrightHR and Keeping accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]

What can I automate between BrightHR and Keeping?

Example: when Keeping's "Watch Clients" fires, WEXTL can "List Absences" in BrightHR. BrightHR has 5 actions (including List Absences, List Clockings, and List Employees); Keeping has 31 actions (including Archive a Project, Archive a Task, and Create a Client). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]

Can BrightHR trigger actions in Keeping, and Keeping in BrightHR?

Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]

Do I need to write code to integrate BrightHR and Keeping?

No. BrightHR-to-Keeping automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]

Does BrightHR integrate with Keeping in real time?

Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment BrightHR (or Keeping) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]

How long does it take to set up a BrightHR + Keeping integration?

A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.

Do I need a paid plan to connect BrightHR with Keeping?

You can build your BrightHR + Keeping automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
