Why teams connect Campfire and Workday

Connect the financial records in Workday with the work happening in Campfire, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Campfire and Workday connect the general ledger to the workforce system of record. Syncing Workday Workers, Organizations, and Payroll Results against Campfire Bills and Bank Transactions lets finance reconcile people costs to the ledger without manual exports.

Stacksync keeps Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers, Organizations in Workday and Intercompany Journal Entry, Chart of Accounts, Chart Transaction, Fixed Asset in Campfire in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Campfire keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Workday is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • 01 Close the books with payroll figures pulled directly from Workday rather than spreadsheet uploads.
  • 02 Report headcount cost by Organization against actual Campfire spend.
  • 03 Keep contractor and vendor Bills aligned with Worker and Position records for audit.
  • 04 Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.

Common sync patterns

Payroll to ledger reconciliation

Workday Payroll Results are matched against Campfire Bank Transactions and Bills each pay cycle.

Cost allocation by org

Workday Organizations and Positions drive how Campfire Bills and Debit Memos are attributed to departments.

Compensation accrual visibility

Workday Compensation and Time Off and Absence data informs accrual entries tracked in Campfire.

What you can sync between Campfire and Workday

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Campfire objects Workday objects How this pairing syncs
Journal Entry Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Bill Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. Bill is specific to Campfire and Workers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Debit Memo Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems. Debit Memo is specific to Campfire and Organizations to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoice Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools. Invoice is specific to Campfire and Positions to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Credit Memo Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. Credit Memo is specific to Campfire and Compensation to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bank Account Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. Bank Account is specific to Campfire and Time Off and Absence to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Campfire and Workday

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Campfire Workday Sub-second propagation

DetectionCampfire pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Near real-time updates via change tracking (incremental sync).

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Workday through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Workday Campfire Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Campfire through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
