Workday Orchestrate for Integrations enables you to design, build, manage, and share integrations between Workday and external systems.

Orchestrate for Integrations is secure, scalable, and extensible:

-   Workday ensures that data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and that integrations comply with industry standards and regulations.
-   The platform is designed to handle high volumes of data and complex integration patterns. It can scale to meet the growing needs of your organization without compromising performance.
-   You can extend the functionality of your integrations by incorporating custom logic, third-party APIs, and Workday's extensive library of global functions and member functions.


The central Orchestrate for Integrations tool is Orchestration Builder, a drag-and-drop development environment that enables you to create complex workflows without writing code. These workflows, known as orchestrations, can automate business processes, transform data, and facilitate real-time, event-driven API interactions with third-party services.

Orchestration Builder is available on the Workday Developer Site. It's entirely browser-based. You don't need any additional downloads.

The Workday Developer Site also enables you to:

-   Iteratively build, test, and verify your integration apps across multiple environments to ensure that they're working properly before you release them to production.
-   Access tooling such as API explorers, which provide everything you need to know about the APIs you can use to access and manipulate Workday data.
-   Manage users and tenants, and to monitor app performance.


Integrations powered by Workday Orchestrate for Integrations are called integration apps.

Some sample use cases for integration apps:

-   Automate HR processes by integrating Workday with external HR systems for seamless data synchronization.
-   Connect Workday to financial systems to facilitate real-time budgeting, expense management, and reporting.
-   Integrate Workday with customer relationship management (CRM) systems to align sales, service, and HR data.
-   Build integrations that support compliance with regulatory requirements by ensuring accurate data exchange between Workday and external reporting tools.
