Settings & Feature Flags
The Settings page contains system-level toggles and configuration values that control how Branco behaves. These are separate from Company Settings — think of them as the technical knobs behind the scenes.
Where to find it
Navigate to Settings in the admin sidebar. Currently, all settings live under the Company tab.
Available settings
| Setting | Type | Default | What it controls |
|---|---|---|---|
FEEDBACK_ACTIVE | Toggle | On | Enables or disables all feedback collection via Slack. Turn this off to pause the bot without disconnecting the integration. |
HRIS_SYNC_ACTIVE | Toggle | On | Enables or disables the daily BambooHR data sync. |
HRIS_SYNC_TITLE_FIELD | Text | jobTitleName | Which BambooHR field maps to the job title in Branco. Change this if your HRIS uses a custom field for titles. |
PERFORMANCE_REVIEW_DAYS | Number | 90 | The number of days in a performance review cycle. |
PROBATION_ACTIVE | Toggle | Off | Enables or disables the probation review feature. |
PROBATION_DAYS | Number | 90 | The length of the probation period in days. |
PROBATION_REVIEW_DAYS | Number | 45 | How many days into probation the review is triggered. |
Each setting has its own Save and Reset buttons, so you can update one without affecting others.
PERFORMANCE_REVIEW_DAYS, PROBATION_ACTIVE, PROBATION_DAYS, and PROBATION_REVIEW_DAYS are related to the upcoming Performance Reviews feature. You can configure them now, but they won't have an effect until that feature launches.
Common scenarios
"I want to pause feedback collection temporarily"
Toggle FEEDBACK_ACTIVE to Off. The Slack bot will stop sending messages. Toggle it back to On when you're ready to resume. You don't need to disconnect the Slack integration.
"Job titles aren't syncing correctly from BambooHR"
Check the HRIS_SYNC_TITLE_FIELD value. The default is jobTitleName, but your BambooHR instance might use a different field. Update it to match your HRIS configuration.
"I want to stop the BambooHR sync"
Toggle HRIS_SYNC_ACTIVE to Off. The daily sync will stop. User data already in Branco will remain, but no new updates will pull from BambooHR.
