    description: >-
      Event-driven webhook surface for BambooHR. Webhooks fire when monitored
      fields change on Employee records (and when employee records are created
      or deleted). Subscribers register an HTTPS URL per monitored field;
      BambooHR POSTs an event-based or field-based JSON payload carrying the
      employee identifier and the list of changed fields, signed with an
      SHA-256 HMAC.
