How It Works

Your Customer Connects

Your end-user authenticates their Workday account through Magic Link—our drop-in, secure auth component. No credentials touch your servers.

Bindbee Syncs Data

We pull data from Workday (via API or RaaS) and normalize it into 15 unified models with automatic incremental syncs.

You Access via API

One REST API for Workday and 60+ other HR systems. Same endpoints, same data structure, regardless of which HRIS your customer uses.

Reason bindbee exists_
Why Use Bindbee Instead of Workday's Native API?
Building directly on Workday's API means navigating SOAP endpoints, managing complex XML payloads, handling ISU (Integration System User) configuration, and keeping up with Workday's bi-annual release cycle. With Bindbee, you integrate once and get normalized JSON data from Workday and 60+ other HR systems through a single REST API.

FAQS_

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up Workday with Bindbee?

Most customers complete setup in under 10 minutes. Your end-user authenticates via Magic Link with their ISU credentials, and initial data sync begins immediately.

Does Bindbee support Workday's RaaS reports?

Yes. Bindbee can ingest data via Workday RaaS (Reports as a Service) in addition to standard API endpoints. This provides broader data coverage, especially for organizations with custom RaaS report configurations. Contact us for RaaS setup details.

What data models does Bindbee support for Workday?

Bindbee supports 15 unified models for Workday: Employee, Employment, Compensation, Employee Payroll Run, Payroll Run, Pay Group, Benefit, Employer Benefit, Dependent, Dependent Benefit, Bank Info, Company, Time Off, Time Off Balance, and Timesheet Entry.

Can I write data back to Workday?

Limited write-back is available. You can create employee payroll entries (earnings or deductions, one at a time) using Workday Earning Codes or Deduction Codes. See our write-back documentation for details.

Does Bindbee support Workday custom fields?

Yes. Enable include_custom_fields=true in your API requests. Custom fields appear in the custom_fields object with their original Workday field names and values.

How does Bindbee handle Workday's bi-annual releases?

You don't need to worry about it. Bindbee manages compatibility with Workday's release cycle internally. Our unified API returns consistent data regardless of which Workday version your customer runs.

Can I get organizational hierarchy from Workday?

Yes. The manager field on Employee objects contains the manager's Bindbee ID, which you can expand to get full manager details. Department and division fields provide organizational structure.

Does Bindbee sync dependent and benefits data from Workday?

Yes. Bindbee syncs full dependent information (name, relationship, date of birth, SSN) and benefit enrollment details including plan type, coverage tier, and contribution amounts. Dependent Benefits links specific dependents to their coverage.

How do I handle Workday rate limits?

You don't. Bindbee manages rate limiting with Workday's API internally. We cache data and handle retries automatically, so you never hit Workday's throttling limits.

Is Workday data available in real-time?

Bindbee syncs data periodically, not in real-time. For most use cases, near-real-time data synced every few hours is sufficient. Webhooks notify you when new data is available after each sync.
