Workday configuration

You'll need a Workday administrator to create an Integration System User (ISU) with access to the relevant Workday APIs. See your Workday admin guide for details.

Troubleshooting

Sync fails with authentication error

  • Check that the ISU credentials haven't expired
  • Verify the ISU has the correct domain security policies enabled

Some employees are missing

  • The ISU may not have access to all supervisory organisations
  • Check the Workday security group assignments

For sync run history and errors, check Settings → Integrations → Sync Health.
