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.

How often does the sync occur?

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
