  Example: Create Workday Home Card Orchestration
layout: subsection
---

This example illustrates how to set up an orchestration that displays data on a custom Workday Home card using the Workday API.

<b>Note:</b> Workday Home (formerly known as Workday Today) is available in WCP Development tenants. All Extend customers can create Workday Home Cards using Orchestration Builder. However, to use Workday Home Cards in non-Development tenants, you must be a Workday Journeys customer.

### Scenario

You want to create a custom Workday Home Card that displays a greeting to the worker viewing the card.
