Why teams connect Sysaid and Workday

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

Workday holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Sysaid is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers, Organizations in Workday and Custom Fields, Incidents, Service Requests, Problems in Sysaid in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Sysaid 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 Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • 02 Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • 03 Sync Users, Groups, and Companies from an HRIS or identity provider so requester and agent records, departments, and managers stay current in SysAid.
  • 04 Mirror Assets and Configuration Items with an external CMDB or asset database so inventory and ticket linkage share one source of truth.

Common sync patterns

Where Sysaid collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Workday

Payment and charge activity flows into Workday as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

Where Sysaid tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where Sysaid handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Workday next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

What you can sync between Sysaid 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.

Sysaid objects Workday objects How this pairing syncs
Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. Problems is specific to Sysaid and Custom Reports (RaaS) to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Changes Change records (type=change) with approval and scheduling fields; synced two-way to drive CAB review and deployment workflows. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. Changes is specific to Sysaid and Workers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems. Users is specific to Sysaid and Organizations to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assets Hardware and software inventory; read out to a warehouse or written from a discovery or CMDB source of truth. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools. Assets is specific to Sysaid and Positions to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Configuration Items (CIs) CMDB entries and their relationships; synced with an external CMDB or asset database for one inventory view. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. Configuration Items (CIs) is specific to Sysaid and Compensation to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Customer and department organizations that scope tickets and users; mapped to Accounts in a CRM or org tables in a database. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. Companies is specific to Sysaid and Time Off and Absence to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Sysaid 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.

Sysaid Workday Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

How the Sysaid and Workday connectors work

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.

Workday

Integration surface
SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports
