Steps

  1. Create a Bob API Service User and grant it read permission on the "work" category (which holds the reportsTo/manager, title, department, and site fields) plus the root/about/employment categories needed for default People search output.
  2. Call the People Search or Read-by-ID endpoint to pull each employee's current profile, including their manager (reportsTo) field returned under the work category.
  3. For full reporting-line history rather than just the current manager, query the Employee Tables API's work table — it is append-only, so each change creates a new dated row instead of overwriting the current one — and additionally grant "view histories" permission if historical rows are needed.
  4. Build the org chart by joining each employee's ID to their manager's employee ID from the response and walking the chain upward to the root (employee with no manager).
  5. Re-run the sync on a schedule, or subscribe to Bob's employee data webhooks for work/field-update events, to pick up manager changes going forward instead of re-pulling the whole company each time.
  6. For large companies, implement client-side batching when calling People Search, since the endpoint has no built-in pagination.
