The Alerts API manages BambooHR's email alerts: the scheduled notifications a company sends to employees, managers, and administrators about events such as upcoming birthdays, work anniversaries, expiring certifications, and completed onboarding tasks.
An alert template is one of the alert types BambooHR supports; the catalog is the same for every account. An alert configuration is one company's instance of a template, carrying its own schedule, recipients, filters, and message overrides. Start from the template catalog to find the bambooAlertId you want, then create a configuration from it.
All operations require that the authenticated caller has view access to the company's Email Alerts settings in BambooHR; callers without it receive a 403 rather than a filtered result.
