Why teams connect Reltio and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from Reltio: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Suppliers, Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS) from Workday into Matches (Potential Matches), Activity Log, Data Change Requests (DCR), Reference Data (RDM) in Reltio and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Reltio, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • 02 Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • 03 Push cleansed, deduplicated golden records and survivorship results from Reltio back into CRM and ERP systems so every app works from the mastered record.
  • 04 Sync Relations (affiliations, hierarchies, households) between Reltio and a CRM or graph so account and affiliation structures stay aligned.

Common sync patterns

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Reltio propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Workday appear in Reltio as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Workday live in Reltio as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

What you can sync between Reltio 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.

Reltio objects Workday objects How this pairing syncs
Interactions Transactional or event records linked to entities (purchases, visits, activities); read and written via /interactions to enrich profiles and power 360-degree reporting. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. Interactions is specific to Reltio and Compensation to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Matches (Potential Matches) Candidate duplicate pairs produced by match rules; read to review, and resolved with merge, unmerge, or not-a-match actions to control survivorship. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. Matches (Potential Matches) is specific to Reltio and Time Off and Absence to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activity Log Immutable audit trail of changes to entities and relations via /activities; read-only, used for history, lineage, and compliance reporting. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. Activity Log is specific to Reltio and Payroll Results to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data Change Requests (DCR) Stewardship change proposals routed through approval workflows; read and written to feed or track governed edits to golden records. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. Data Change Requests (DCR) is specific to Reltio and Suppliers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reference Data (RDM) Managed lookup and reference values (country codes, standardized values, hierarchies); read and updated so downstream systems share consistent reference data. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. Reference Data (RDM) is specific to Reltio and Customers and Invoices to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Entities Golden records for each configured entity type (for example Organization, Individual/Contact, Location, or Product); full CRUD via /entities, so records are created, updated, and deleted, and Reltio matches and merges them by survivorship rules. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. Entities is specific to Reltio and Journal Entries to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Reltio 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.

Reltio Workday Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Reltio for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling the REST API on updateTime (epoch-ms), for example filter=gt(updateTime,<timestamp>), for entities and relations changed past a stored.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Reltio: Reltio applies per-tenant API throttling and returns HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) when limits are exceeded; there is no single fixed request-per-second cap published for all tenants, and throttling is tuned per tenant and environment. Large loads and reads use bulk create/update and the asynchronous export/jobs API rather than row-by-row calls.

How the Reltio and Workday connectors work

Reltio

Integration surface
Reltio REST API (Data API) — /entities, /relations, /interactions, /activities, plus Match, RDM (reference data), and Data Change Request endpoints; base URL https://{environment}.reltio.com/reltio/api/{tenantId}
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens obtained from Reltio's central auth server (POST https://auth.reltio.com/oauth/token, client-credentials or password grant, application/x-www-form-urlencoded) and sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>; access tokens expire after about 60 minutes and are renewed with a refresh token, and are scoped per API (entities_api, relations_api, interactions_api, configuration_api, graphs_api)
Change detection
Polling the REST API on updateTime (epoch-ms), for example filter=gt(updateTime,<timestamp>), for entities and relations changed past a stored watermark. Reltio has no CDC log external tools consume; separately, Reltio's event streaming can publish entity change events (created, changed, removed) to a customer-configured message queue (Amazon SQS/SNS, Google Pub/Sub, Azure Service Bus, or Kafka), which is a queue feed rather than HTTP webhooks.
