What is your integration use case?



Use case 1: I have not yet created any stakeholder profiles in my Ledgy account.

1. Connect Workday with Ledgy

First, go to Company Settings > Data Management > HR system integration > Connect.

Scenario 1: Existing connection

If you’re already connected — there is nothing to do! Feel free to jump to ‘Configure your HRIS field import into Ledgy’

Scenario 2: Establishing a new connection / no existing connection

1.1 Select Workday from the HR system logo picker

  1. For the authentication method, select "Use just my OAuth Credentials"

  2. A warning will remind the user that an admin user is required to connect with Ledgy. Click "I am an Admin" to confirm.

  3. Review your data permissions


1.2: Obtain the web services endpoint URL

  1. Search in Workday for Public Web Services

  2. Find Human Resources (Public) if you are connecting Workday HRIS. Find Recruiting if you are connecting Workday ATS.

  4. Navigate to the bottom of the page that opens (it may take a few seconds to load)

  5. Copy the full URL provided under Human_ResourcesService (Workday HRIS) or RecruitingService (Workday ATS). The URL will have a format similar to https://wd2-impl-services1.workday.com/ccx

  6. Enter the Web Services Endpoint URL prefix into the linking flow

6. Click Next


1.3 Enter in your tenant name

  1. From the web services URL find your tenant name. In this example, the value is "acme"

  2. Enter the tenant name into the linking flow

  1. In the Search field, select the Task Register API Client for Integrations.

  2. On the Register API client for Integrations page, in the Client Name field, enter the Client Name, Scope (Functional Areas), and check Non-Expiring Refresh Tokens. Add the following Scope (Functional Areas) depending on the category:

HRIS

ATS

Recruiting

Time Off and Leave

*if you need access to Time Off data

Tenant Non-Configurable

Public Data

Public Data

6. Add your Token URL and Refresh Token to the linking flow

7. Click Submit

Congratulations! Your Workday account is now connected to Ledgy!


2. Configure your HRIS field import into Ledgy

You need to configure the fields before initiating sync. Hit ‘Configure’ to open up the modal below. You can change the configuration later and at any future point.

2.1. Stakeholder identifier should be a unique identifier and the value should exist for all employees in HRIS. In Workday's case, it is the "Work email”.

  • If you already have stakeholders in Ledgy, please see FAQ below.

2.2. Stakeholder email: Choose which employee field to map to Ledgy’s primary email.

2.3. Additional fields to import allow you to optionally import any of the following fields:

  • Manager

  • Mobile Phone Number

  • Pay Rate

2.3. Hover over the “❓ Some basic stakeholder fields” to see the default fields mapped from HRIS into Ledgy

2.4. If there are additional fields you wish to map to Ledgy from your HRIS, please click the link to reach out to support and request new HR field mappings via chat.

2.5. You can add "Sync if" conditions to specify which employees to sync in Ledgy.

⚠️ Note: filters are additive, meaning that stakeholders must match all conditions for a rule to apply to them. You can use ‘OR’ conditions to select multiple values for a given filter. For example: you may want to sync employees across multiple countries, and of multiple groups.


3. Syncing stakeholders into Ledgy

Once you have setup the configuration, you can sync stakeholders. Hit ‘sync’ to preview stakeholders that will be created or updated in Ledgy.

Nb. ‘Mobile number’ will appear as invalid if the country code is not inputted in HRIS. Please add country code to HRIS entries to successfully sync mobile number - otherwise, this will need to be manually updated in Ledgy.
