Workday

Finance and operations

Built when you ask for it

Sync Workday financials, suppliers, and workers. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The Workday connector syncs your ERP data into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull financials, suppliers, purchase orders, and worker data through the Workday REST APIs, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Financials
  • Suppliers
  • Purchase orders
  • Workers

How it gets built

  1. Choose Workday when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads Workday's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against Workday itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

OAuth2. Register an API client in Workday to obtain OAuth2 credentials.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.

Questions

Does Ingest have a Workday connector?
Not as a finished connector yet. Ingest builds it from Workday's own documentation the first time a customer asks, tests it against the real service, and lists it once it passes.
Which warehouses can Workday data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

Setting up the destination is its own short guide, one per warehouse or lake: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL, Snowflake.
