The Workday integration makes your people data available in client work. Ask who manages a consultant, who is in a supervisory organisation, or who is on time off the week of a client workshop, and Hebno answers from Workday HCM with each worker record cited. The integration reads only. Hebno never writes to Workday and never reads compensation, payroll, bank details, national identifiers or performance data. ## At a glance | | | | - | - | | **Connection** | Organisation connection, made by an owner or admin with a Workday integration system user. | | **Default access** | Read only. Members see directory and absence fields in the data areas their team is allowed. | | **Attach** | Worker profiles, a supervisory organisation, time off for a period | | **Search** | Hebno searches Workday when a request mentions a colleague, organisation, manager, location, time off or leave | | **Link** | A project links to the Workday workers on its team | | **Write** | None. Hebno reads only. | ## Before you start You need: * An owner or admin role in Hebno. * Your Workday tenant name and the **Workday REST API Endpoint** and **Token Endpoint** shown in the **View API Clients** task. * A Workday security administrator who can create an integration system user, a security group and an API client. Set up the integration in Workday: 1. Run **Create Integration System User**. Name it, for example `ISU_Hebno`, set a password, clear **Require New Password at Next Sign In** and select **Do Not Allow UI Sessions**. 2. Run **Create Security Group**, choose **Integration System Security Group (Unconstrained)** and add the integration system user. 3. Run **Maintain Permissions for Security Group** and grant **Get** access to the domains **Worker Data: Public Worker Reports**, **Worker Data: Current Staffing Information** and **Worker Data: Time Off**. Do not grant compensation, payroll, personal data or performance domains. Then run **Activate Pending Security Policy Changes**. 4. Run **Register API Client for Integrations**, select **Non-Expiring Refresh Tokens**, and add the scopes below. Copy the client ID and client secret. 5. Run **Manage Refresh Tokens for Integrations** for the integration system user and select **Generate New Refresh Token**. Copy the refresh token. | Scope (functional area) | Why Hebno needs it | | - | - | | **Staffing** | Read workers, business titles, job profiles, locations, managers and worker status | | **Organizations and Roles** | Read supervisory organisations, their managers and members | | **Time Off and Leave** | Read time off entries and leave of absence dates for who is out | > [!TIP] > > The security group's domain permissions are the boundary for what Hebno can read. A domain without **Get** access returns no data for that area rather than an error, so check the group if a field is empty. ## Connect Workday **1. Allow the integration** Open **Admin → Connectors → Catalogue**, find **Workday** under **People and HR**, and set it to **Allow**. **2. Connect the organisation** Select **Connect**, enter the tenant name, REST API endpoint, token endpoint, client ID, client secret and refresh token, then select **Test connection**. Hebno checks that it can read workers, organisations and time off. **3. Choose teams and data areas** Under **Who can use it**, choose **All teams** or pick teams. Under **Data areas**, choose what members can see. See [Data areas](#data-areas). The card shows **Connected** with the Workday tenant. **Access** is fixed to **Read only**. Members do not link their own Workday accounts: every read goes through the integration system user and your data areas. ## Data areas Data areas control what members of the allowed teams can see through the organisation connection. They apply on top of the integration system user's security group in Workday. | Data area | Includes | Default | | - | - | - | | **Directory** | Names, business titles, job profiles, work email, location, worker type | All allowed teams | | **Organisation** | Supervisory organisations, managers and direct reports | All allowed teams | | **Time off and absence** | Who is out, dates, time off type, leave of absence dates shown as **On leave** | All allowed teams | ![Admin connector panel showing who can use it, access and data areas](https://mintcdn.com/hebno/A7yItabWdPf4lOIs/images/org-connection.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=A7yItabWdPf4lOIs\&q=85\&s=8d965e9c74747db0c182b004d569b236) An organisation connection with team access and data areas. Financial figures default to owners and admins. To keep time off visible to resource managers only, open the Workday card in **Admin → Connectors**, select **Time off and absence** and choose the teams that should see it. ## What Hebno reads | Workday object | Fields Hebno uses | Typical questions | | - | - | - | | **Worker** | Name, business title, job profile, location, work email, worker type, hire date, active status | "Who are the senior consultants in London?" | | **Supervisory organisation** | Name, manager, members, superior organisation | "Who is in the retail pricing organisation?" | | **Manager** | Worker's manager from their primary position | "Who does Priya Nair report to?" | | **Time off entry** | Worker, date, time off type, quantity, unit, status (approved only) | "Who is out in the week of 16 November?" | | **Leave of absence** | Worker, first day, estimated last day. The leave type is not shown. | "Is Sarah Chen away before the Contoso readout?" | ![Chat reply citing a Workday worker profile](https://mintcdn.com/hebno/koIaIv04-XHUqeC-/images/card-workday.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=koIaIv04-XHUqeC-\&q=85\&s=1fa0dbf27a71a3e2c21bf82e3549665d) A Workday worker profile attached to a chat. Reads are live. Hebno queries Workday when a request needs it and does not copy worker data into Hebno. Only what a reply used is stored with the conversation as its sources. Hebno never reads compensation, payroll, bank details, national identifiers, personal contact details, performance reviews, leave reasons or worker documents. > [!WARNING] > > Excerpts a reply uses become part of the conversation. Anyone you share the conversation with can read them, including who is out and when. ## Hebno reads only Hebno does not write to Workday. It does not request or approve time off, start business processes, edit workers, or change supervisory organisations. To book a consultant once you know they are free, use a resourcing integration such as [Float](https://hebno.com/docs/integrations/float.md). ```mermaid theme={"system"} sequenceDiagram participant You participant Hebno participant Workday You->>Hebno: Who on the Contoso team is out before the readout? Hebno->>Workday: Read time off entries from 2 to 24 November Workday-->>Hebno: Priya Nair out 12 to 13 November Hebno->>Workday: Read workers and managers for the linked team Workday-->>Hebno: Business titles and supervisory organisations Hebno-->>You: Answer with the worker records cited ``` ## Link a project to its team Linking marks which Workday workers are on a project, so you can ask "who on the team is away?" without naming everyone. 1. Open the project and select **Brain**. 2. Under **Linked records**, select **Link record**, then **Workday**. 3. Search by name or supervisory organisation, and select each worker. You can link a whole supervisory organisation instead. In chats tagged to the project, Hebno starts with the linked workers for any availability or reporting line question. See [Linked records](https://hebno.com/docs/projects/linked-records.md). ## Use Workday in chat * **Attach**: open the **+** menu, choose **Sources → Workday**, and pick a worker, a supervisory organisation or a time off period. Or type `/` and choose **Workday**. * **Ask**: name the person, organisation or period in your request. For example: > Who in the retail pricing organisation is out between 16 and 20 November? > List the Contoso project team with business titles, locations and managers. > Who reports to Sarah Chen, and is anyone on time off next week? * **Research runs** show a **Checking Workday** step, with a chip for each worker and organisation it read. * **Agents** can read Workday on a schedule, for example a Monday list of who is out on each active project this week. ## Troubleshooting | Symptom | Fix | | - | - | | **Test connection** fails with `invalid_grant` | The refresh token was revoked or belongs to another user. Generate a new one in **Manage Refresh Tokens for Integrations** and reconnect. | | **Test connection** fails with `invalid_client` | The client ID or secret is wrong, or the API client was deactivated. Check it in **View API Clients**. | | Requests fail with `403` or return no workers | The security group lacks **Get** access to a domain, or pending security changes were not activated. Run **Activate Pending Security Policy Changes**. | | A worker is missing | The worker is terminated, or the security group is constrained to organisations that exclude them. Use an unconstrained group. | | Time off is missing | The API client has no **Time Off and Leave** scope, or the member's team is not in the **Time off and absence** data area. | | The connection stops after a tenant refresh | Sandbox and implementation tenants are refreshed from production. Recreate the API client and refresh token in that tenant. | ## Related * [How integrations work](https://hebno.com/docs/integrations/index.md) * [Permissions and access](https://hebno.com/docs/integrations/permissions-and-access.md) * [Linked records](https://hebno.com/docs/projects/linked-records.md) * [BambooHR](https://hebno.com/docs/integrations/bamboohr.md) * [HiBob](https://hebno.com/docs/integrations/hibob.md) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
