Prerequisites
To set up the connection, you'll need:
- The Workday tenant to connect to
- The host and domain of the Workday environment to connect to
- The authentication credentials of an integration system user created in Workday
Note: The system user should belong to the Integration Developers security group with access to the Workday REST API and additional permissions for the functional groups and domains related to the tasks the connection will perform.
