# Workday Integration Guide

## Setyl integrates with Workday to automatically import and sync employee data from Workday into Setyl. This guide explains how to connect Workday with Setyl , what permissions are required and which fields are synced.

### What does the Workday integration do?

The Workday integration allows you to:

- Automatically create users in Setyl based on Workday records
- Import your organizational structure including departments and locations
- Automatically keep employee records up to date and accurate within Setyl
- Trigger onboarding and offboarding workflows automatically within Setyl

#### What data is synced?

Setyl will sync the following employee data:

- Name
- Phone Number
- Company Email
- Personal Email
- Job Title
- Department
- Email address
- Department
- Location
- Manager
- Address
- Join date
- Leave date\*
- Employee ID
- Legal entity

\* The **Leave Date** within Setyl is mapped to the **Contract End Date** within Workday.  If the Contract End Date is not present than the **Termination Date** within Workday is used for the **Leave Date** instead.

**Note:** You can configure data mapping for specific fields, including mapping data from multiple integrations. For more information on configuring data mapping, see the [HR Integration Guide](https://help.setyl.com/hr-integrations?hsLang=en).

### Setting up the Workday integration

#### Prerequisites

Before connecting Workday to Setyl, ensure you have:

- Your Workday **Tenant ID**.  Your **Tenant ID** is found in the URL when you are logged into Workday. For example, if the URL of your Workday tenant is https://impl.workday.com/{acme}/d/home.html, the **Tenant ID** is acme.
- Your **Workday WSDL URL**. The Workday WSDL URL is used as the base URL for every API request. Find your WSDL URL in the online [Workday documentation](https://community.workday.com/articles/6120#endpoint).
- A Setyl account with Owner-level admin permissions.

#### Connecting Workday to Setyl

Employee data from Workday will be synced **once every 24hrs** and once upon initial integration. Data can also be synced manually at any time by triggering a [manual sync](https://help.setyl.com/workday-integration-guide#Manual-Sync). 

**Note:** It may take several minutes before data begins to sync after the connection has been made.
