  description: Event-driven webhook surface for BambooHR. Webhooks fire when monitored
    fields change on Employee records (and when employee records are created or deleted).

    or field-based JSON payload carrying the employee identifier and the list of changed
    fields, signed with an SHA-256 HMAC.
