    BambooHR: Testing/creating connections fail with status code 403

    We've received reports of customers being unable to create new BambooHR connections, or test existing BambooHR connections, within the Zap Editor. Attempts at either result in an error code with response status code 403. We are working with BambooHR to identify the cause of the error and resolve this as quickly as possible.

What to do next

  • Verify your own services recovered cleanly. Some upstream outages leave queues or caches in a degraded state, run smoke tests before declaring green internally.
  • Save the post-mortem. Vendors usually publish a detailed RCA 1-3 days later. We'll add it to this page when it appears.
  • Watch the provider going forward. Follow Zapier's status feed →
