Workday Connector

With the Workday connector, you can use commands in a chain to interact with Workday® HR and Financials to:

• Download custom reports from Workday
• Import budget data into Workday
• Launch a Workday Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) integration

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.

Set Up the Workday Connector

1. From Chains, click Connections  compare_arrows and Add Connection  add.
2. Under BizApp Connection, select Workday Connector and the default CloudRunner.
   
3. Under Basic Info, enter a unique name and description to help identify the connection.
4. Under Properties, enter the connection's details:
   
   

   Property	Details
   User name	Enter the username of the Workday integration system user.
   Password	Enter the password for the User name property.
   Tenant	Enter the Workday tenant to connect to.
   Host	Enter the host of the Workday environment to connect to. In the environment's URL, the characters before the Domain property represent the host.
   Domain	Enter the domain of the Workday environment to connect to, such as workday.com or myworkday.com.

   Note: All sensitive credentials are automatically encrypted and stored at Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-256 encryption.

5. Select the environments to use the connection, and click Save.
6. To test the connection, create and run a chain with the Workday connector's Download Custom Report command, and verify it returns a valid output.

Troubleshooting

If the connection to Workday fails:

• Verify the integration system user's authentication credentials are correct.
• Verify the integration system user has proper permissions to access the functional groups and domains related to the connection's commands.
• Verify the correct Workday tenant, host, and domain are entered for the connector.
