Timesheet Auto-Fill for BambooHR
A third-party Chrome extension that auto-fills your BambooHR time-clock entries from a saved weekly schedule — with a single click.
A third-party Chrome extension that auto-fills your BambooHR time-clock entries from a saved weekly schedule — with a single click.
Timesheet Auto-Fill saves your standard weekly work schedule (morning/afternoon blocks, a separate Friday afternoon block, skip dates) and lets you preview and submit entries from the extension popup. The "Auto-Fill" and "Delete" buttons in the BambooHR timesheet header open the popup, where you can also preview and delete existing clock entries for the current pay period.
Define your Mon–Thu and Friday time blocks once. The extension remembers them and generates entries for any date range.
Tag individual dates to skip (bank holidays, days off) using a tag-chip calendar picker. Weekends are excluded automatically.
A preview modal shows every generated entry, the number of days and entries, and total hours before submission. Cancel the preview or confirm submission. How auto-fill works →
The "Auto-Fill" and "Delete" buttons in BambooHR's timesheet header open the extension popup for previewing, submitting, or deleting entries.
Review existing clock entries for the current pay period, grouped by date with start and end times. Delete them only after confirming Delete All. How deletion works →
All requests go directly from your browser to BambooHR using your authenticated session. Nothing passes through any third-party server.
If entries already exist for a date, the extension reports a 409 conflict instead of silently duplicating data.
Opens Chrome Web Store — no account required to install
Search for Timesheet Auto-Fill for BambooHR in the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome. No restart required.
Click the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar to open the popup. Fill in:
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Date Range | Start and end date for the period you want to fill, both included. Resets to the current calendar month whenever the popup opens. |
| Mon–Thu Schedule | Morning and Afternoon time blocks applied to Monday through Thursday. The Morning block also applies to Fridays. |
| Friday Schedule | A separate Afternoon block used on Fridays, together with the shared Morning block. Start and end times are required; add Friday dates to Skip Dates to exclude them from a date-range fill. |
| Skip Dates | Click + Add date and pick any individual days to exclude (bank holidays, PTO). Weekends are always excluded automatically. |
| Single Date Preview | Enable this option and choose a Date to Preview to generate entries for one weekday. In this mode, Date Range and Skip Dates do not filter the preview. |
Follow Auto-Fill Timesheet Entries below to review generated entries and confirm submission.
Open your own timesheet page while logged into BambooHR. When submitting entries, the extension obtains your Employee ID from your authenticated BambooHR session.
Go to chrome://extensions, find
Timesheet Auto-Fill for BambooHR, and click Remove. All
locally stored schedule data is deleted with the extension.
Generate clock entries from your saved weekly schedule for a date range or a single weekday, review them, and confirm submission to BambooHR.
| Day | Entries generated |
|---|---|
| Monday–Thursday | Two clock entries: the configured Morning block and Afternoon block. |
| Friday | Two clock entries: the same Morning block and the separate Friday Afternoon block. |
| Saturday–Sunday | No entries. Weekends are excluded in both date-range and single-date mode. |
In date-range mode, any date listed in Skip Dates is excluded. To skip a Friday, add that date to Skip Dates; leaving the Friday times blank prevents the preview from opening.
When enabled, only the chosen Date to Preview is used. The Date Range and Skip Dates settings are ignored, so even a weekday listed in Skip Dates will be included. Friday uses its separate afternoon block. This mode also allows submission through Confirm & Submit.
Schedule times, skip dates, and single-date preferences are saved when you click Preview Timesheet after validation, even if you later cancel the preview. Each time the popup opens, Date Range resets to the current calendar month. Saved skip dates are restored only within the calendar month in which they were saved; they reset when the month changes.
Date-range mode requires both dates, with Start Date on or before End Date. Single-date mode requires a Date to Preview. All Morning, Afternoon, and Friday Afternoon start and end times are required in either mode, even if the chosen dates do not include a Friday. Each block must start before it ends, and the morning and afternoon blocks must not overlap.
If the range contains only weekends or skipped dates, the extension displays "No entries generated. Check your dates and Skip Dates." A weekend in single-date mode displays "Weekend dates are excluded."
The preview is generated from your schedule; it does not check existing BambooHR entries or automatically skip duplicates. If BambooHR returns a 409 conflict, the extension reports that some entries already exist. Add those dates to Skip Dates in date-range mode, or review and remove the existing entries before trying again. See Delete Timesheet Entries for the current-pay-period deletion flow.
If the extension cannot read the page's authentication token, reload the BambooHR page and try again. Other submission failures are shown in an error message. If the build has expired, update the extension before using auto-fill.
Use this feature to remove existing clock entries from the current pay period, for example before submitting a corrected schedule.
Deletion is supported only for the current pay period. If BambooHR returns a different pay period, the extension stops with the message "You can only delete entries for the current pay period."
If no clock entries are returned, the preview displays an empty-state message and Delete All is disabled.
The extension requests only the minimum permissions required to provide its functionality.
| Permission | User-facing feature | Why narrower is not viable |
|---|---|---|
storage |
Saves your schedule (time blocks, skip dates, date range) to
chrome.storage.local so it persists across sessions.
|
Without this, every setting resets when the popup closes. There is no narrower scope for per-extension local storage. |
activeTab |
Helps the popup access a BambooHR tab when you preview, submit, or delete timesheet entries. |
The broader tabs permission is not requested; BambooHR host permissions
provide access to matching tabs.
|
scripting |
Reads the CSRF token from BambooHR's page JavaScript
(window.CSRF_TOKEN) and runs requests in the BambooHR tab to submit
entries, load the delete preview, and delete confirmed entries.
|
CSRF tokens live in the page's JavaScript context. A content script in an isolated
world cannot access them directly; chrome.scripting.executeScript with
world: "MAIN" is required.

host_permissions:https://*.bamboohr.com/* |
Injects the "Auto-Fill" and "Delete" buttons into the BambooHR timesheet header and reads, submits, or deletes time-clock entries using your authenticated session. | Content scripts and same-origin fetch both require matching host permissions. Narrower path patterns are not supported by Chrome's content script syntax. |
host_permissions:https://cloudflare.com/* |
Fetches accurate server time from Cloudflare's public CDN trace endpoint so that date range validation is based on a reliable clock rather than solely on the device's local system clock. | The device clock can be incorrect or skewed. Using a public network time source ensures the date range inputs and schedule calculations are validated against accurate time.

When you preview deletion, the extension reads the pay-period identifier from the BambooHR page and fetches that timesheet. It checks that the returned timesheet is the current pay period and uses clock-entry IDs, dates, start times, and end times to prepare the preview. This preview is held temporarily in the popup and is not saved to local storage.
Only after you click Delete All does the extension send the listed
clock-entry IDs in a DELETE request to your BambooHR tenant's
/timesheet/clock/entries endpoint, with the page's CSRF token and your
existing authenticated session. The request goes directly to BambooHR.
