Why teams connect Clari and Workday

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Workday and Clari in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Clari knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Workday knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results, Suppliers, Customers and Invoices in Workday to Activity (Capture), Account field extensions, Opportunity field extensions, Audit Events in Clari with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
  • 02 Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • 03 Stream Audit Events into a reporting database to monitor forecast-submission changes and user activity for compliance.
  • 04 Pull Activity (Capture) meetings and emails, mapped to their accounts and opportunities, into a database for coverage and engagement analysis.

Common sync patterns

Payment status on the account

Invoice and payment status from Workday appears on the account in Clari, so reps see overdue balances before they promise the next order.

Billing detail changes flow back

When a contact or address is corrected in Clari, Workday gets the update before the next invoice goes out.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Clari when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

How changes propagate between Clari 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.

Clari Workday Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Clari for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling — reads run as asynchronous export jobs (submit export, poll job status, download results).

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

Workday Clari 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 Clari through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Clari: Max 3 concurrent exports and roughly 1000 exports per rolling 30-day org window; ingestion capped at 100 requests/sec per API token.
