A collection of integration services that enables communication between Workday and an external system. Workday provides integration templates in categories such as Benefits, Financials, HCM, Payroll, Payroll Interface, Procurement, Recruiting, Security, and Settlement. Many of the delivered templates contain default values for attributes, as well as prompt values for attributes and maps, to further define the integration.

A tenanted definition of an integration between Workday and an external system, based on a template that provides the methodology needed to communicate data.

A group of related integration attributes, maps, and XSLT that provides a framework to transform Workday data into the format required by an external system.

An integration component that specifies how values in Workday map to values in an external system. For example, Pay Rate Frequency is a type of map in third-party payroll integrations.

The record of an integration process. Every integration—current or past, involving the import or export of data, successful or not—gets recorded as an integration event. The integration event contains all the information about the integration process, including its status.

Indicates the type of data that Workday will receive from or export to an external system and its location. Workday supports five types of data sources including attachments, external files, standard reports, custom reports, and REST endpoints.

A set of one or more integration templates that provides a framework for building integrations in a particular functional area. For example, Workday Payroll Interface is an integration connector. Unlike packaged integrations, an integration connector does not have a named endpoint.

A catalog of packaged integrations, partner integrations, and connectors to common applications and service providers that extend Workday's functionality. The integrations span the entire range of Workday applications, including Benefits, Human Capital Management, Payroll, Financial Management, and Spend Management. All Cloud Connect integrations are hosted and maintained by Workday.

An integration component that specifies the tenanted value of a data element in Workday. For example, Master Policy Number is a type of attribute in benefit provider integrations.

A tool that lets you customize integration systems that are based on a packaged integration template. Field overrides are managed through an integration service. They use calculated fields or class report fields (CRFs) to supply values to an integration system. Examples include member IDs in benefit provider integrations and criteria for selecting positions to send to Lumesse TalentLink.
