What data will Boon be sharing with our ATS?
Great question. Boon is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing workflows—and that includes giving you control over the data that’s shared.
Below we provide a detailed list of fields that can be mapped into your ATS, but it’s important to know that many of these fields are optional. We recognize that every hiring process is different, and Boon has been built from the ground up to flex around your unique needs.
You’ll be able to customize exactly which data points flow into your system—ensuring your team gets the context it needs without unnecessary clutter.

Boon is designed to support your existing HR systems, not disrupt them. When it comes to HRIS integrations, we offer a flexible set of data fields that can be configured to fit your organization’s needs.
While we do provide a comprehensive list of fields that can be shared, many of them are completely optional. Our platform was built to adapt—whether you’re looking for basic employee syncing or more advanced data exchange, Boon can be tailored to your preferences.
You’ll have full visibility and control over what’s shared, and we’ll work with your team to ensure it aligns with your internal data governance and processes.

What data does Boon share with our SSO?
None. Boon does not share any data with your SSO provider.
SSO (Single Sign-On) is used strictly to authenticate users—ensuring they can securely access Boon using their company credentials. We simply rely on the SSO certificate configured in our system to validate the user’s identity via their email address.
Once authenticated, users are granted access to Boon based on their email domain and role permissions within the platform. No user data, activity, or platform information is sent back to your SSO provider.
This approach keeps your data secure, your workflows clean, and your IT team happy.
