Workday Connection

Introduction

A Workday connection is configured via the Workday connector to establish access to an account on the Workday server. Once a connection is established, you can configure one or more Workday activities associated with that connection to use as a source or target within an operation.

To connect with the Workday server, contact the Workday administrator for the required credentials.

Note

This connector supports the Enable Re-authentication on Change organization policy. If enabled, a change to the Workday Host, Tenant, or Username in this connection requires users to re-enter the Password for the connection.

Create or Edit a Workday Connection

Next Steps

After a Workday connection has been created, menu actions for that connection are accessible from the project pane's Components tab. See Connection Actions Menu for details.

After configuring a Workday connection, you can configure one or more Workday activities associated with that connection to use as a source or target within an operation. For more information, see:

  • Workday activity: A Workday activity retrieves data from and/or sends data to a selected Workday web service and is used as a source or target in an operation.
