Time to get integrated with your people management platform
Yesss!!! One more HRIS integration! Reachdesk integrates with Workday too, let's set it up!
What do I need to set up the Workday integration?
Let me guide you through this setup. Workday requires you to create an Integration System User (ISU) in order to configure your Workday integration.
Log into Workday
Log into your Workday account. Look at the address bar at the top of the browser window where the URL is displayed. Find your tenant immediately after workday.com/
Finding the Web Services Endpoint
- Go to the Public Web Services report.
- Locate "Human Resources" and hover over it to reveal a menu.
- Click the three-dots menu associated with Human Resources.
- Select Web Service and then click View SDL. Note that the page might take a moment to load completely.
- Search for wsdl:service. Copy everything before service in the location attribute. Do not include the https:// prefix. For example if the line is :
- https://wd2-impl-services1.workday.com/ccx/service/
- copy : wd2-impl-services1.workday.com/ccx
Create an Integration System User
- Log in to your Workday tenant using an administrator account
- In the search box of the Workday application, type Create integration and it will suggest the 'Create Integration System User' task, please select it
- In the next screen please add :
- User Name
- New Password
- New Password Verify
- Click OK
Now let's add this Integration System User (ISU) to a Security Group
Create a Security Group and Assign an Integration System User
- In the search field, enter "Create Security Group" and select the “Create Security Group” task.
- On the "Create Security Group" page, choose "Integration System Security Group" from the "Type of Tenanted Security Group" dropdown menu. Then, provide a name in the "Name" field.
- Click "OK".
- On the "Edit Integration System Security Group (Unconstrained)" page, enter the same name you used when creating the Integration System User (ISU). Click OK.
Configuring domain security policy permissions
At this stage we need to configure the Domain Security Policy Permissions in the Security Group.
In the usual search box let's find the 'Domain Security Policy Permissions'
Add the permissions for the following data:

We are almost there...it's time to activate security policy changes
Activating security policy changes
- Search box again, yes! Let's type 'activate pending' and search for 'Activate Pending Security Policy Changes' task and select it
- Complete the task on the next screen by approving and activate the pending policies
Last step, I promise...Now you are ready to use the Workday integration, navigate to Reachdesk → Settings →Integrations → People. Click ‘Connect’ on Workday integration, add all the credentials and click 'connect'. You’ll be ready to send gifts to employees via Reachdesk!
Please note: When connecting a new integration it will take up to an hour from the moment the integration is connected before the employee data can be fetched and used. If you find things are taking longer than 24 hours, please follow up with support@reachdesk.com. The integration will be then synced every day at 7 AM UTC.
That's it! You're all set. You can automate sending gifts to your employees via Reachdesk!
FAQ
Who can set up this integration within Reachdesk?
For any HRIS integration we require only one user to set up the connection between the integration and Reachdesk.
Who can access a user’s integration?
Every user who can access the Reachdesk platform is allowed to use the data in the integration once it has been set up. It's important that a user that connects the integration is an admin or has high visibility on the HRIS being connected: they need to have access to employees that have left, have not yet started as well as address, birthday and start date information in order for the product to run effectively.
Please note : Only Reachdesk admins or CM can create triggered campaigns. For further info please refer to this article.
Can I connect more than one HRIS software?
You can only connect one HRIS software per organisation at a time. For example if you connected the Reachdesk platform to HiBob you won’t be able to connect to Workday at the same time. In case you need to use a different HRIS software please disconnect the first one, Hibob to follow the previous example and then connect to the Workday integration.
Does Reachdesk update data on the HRISs after connecting?
No, Reachdesk only has permission to read from HRIS and does not push any new data or updates to HRIS. HRIS remains the source of truth for data and Reachdesk syncs with them once a day so that we can have the most up-to-date records.
