Why teams connect Seismic and Workday

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

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Seismic 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 Positions, Compensation, Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results in Workday to Teamsites, LiveSend Links, Digital Sales Rooms, Reporting Activities in Seismic 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 Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • 02 Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
  • 03 Provision and deactivate Seismic Users and User Groups from an HRIS or IdP so content access mirrors joiner, mover, and leaver changes.
  • 04 Extract content-interaction and LiveSend engagement from the Reporting API v2 into a warehouse to tie asset views to CRM Opportunities.

Common sync patterns

Billing detail changes flow back

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

Collections with context

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

Where Seismic 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.

What you can sync between Seismic 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.

Seismic objects Workday objects How this pairing syncs
User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. User Groups is specific to Seismic and Payroll Results to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. Teamsites is specific to Seismic and Suppliers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
LiveSend Links Trackable content-share links created via the engagement API; their open and view engagement is read back through Reporting. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. LiveSend Links is specific to Seismic and Customers and Invoices to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. Digital Sales Rooms is specific to Seismic and Journal Entries to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. Reporting Activities is specific to Seismic and Custom Reports (RaaS) to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. Library Content is specific to Seismic and Workers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Seismic 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.

Seismic Workday Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
