Why teams connect Freshworks CRM and Workday

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

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Freshworks CRM 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 Suppliers, Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS) in Workday to Lists, Notes, Contacts, Accounts in Freshworks CRM 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

  • Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • Mirror deal and activity data into a Postgres database that internal tools query directly.
  • Sync unified contact records, covering sales and marketing attributes, into a warehouse for full-funnel reporting.

Collections with context

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

Where Freshworks CRM tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in Workday with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.

Payment status on the account

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