      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.

       

      Setting up the Workday integration

      Prerequisites

      Before connecting Workday to Setyl, ensure you have:

      • The Username and Password of your Workday Integration System User (ISU).  Further details on creating an ISU can be found here.
      • 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.
      • A Setyl account with Owner-level admin permissions.
