Why teams connect Workday and Wrike

Connect the financial records in Workday with the work happening in Wrike, 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. Wrike 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 Organizations, Positions, Compensation, Time Off and Absence in Workday and Custom Fields, Comments, Timelogs, Contacts in Wrike in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Wrike 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 Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • 02 Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Tasks and their Custom Fields between a Wrike project and Postgres so ops teams work in SQL while project owners stay in Wrike.
  • 04 Write closed deals or new orders from a CRM or ERP into Wrike Tasks to launch delivery, onboarding, or fulfillment projects automatically.

Common sync patterns

Where Wrike 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 Wrike 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.

Where Wrike 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.

What you can sync between Workday and Wrike

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.

Workday objects Wrike objects How this pairing syncs
Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. Contacts Account members and user groups referenced by task responsibles and authors; read to resolve IDs to names and email addresses. Workers is specific to Workday and Contacts to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems. Workflows Sets of custom statuses grouped into stages (Active, Completed, Cancelled, Deferred); read to map task status transitions to database values. Organizations is specific to Workday and Workflows to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools. Spaces Top-level containers that hold Folders, Projects, and their members; used to scope which Folders a given sync covers. Positions is specific to Workday and Spaces to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. Tasks The primary unit of work and main record; created, updated, completed, and deleted via the REST v4 API and synced two-way. Subtasks are Tasks linked by superTask/subTask references. Compensation is specific to Workday and Tasks to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. Folders & Projects The container hierarchy: Folders group Tasks, and Projects add dates, an owner, and a status. Each maps to a synced table scope, and its structure defines what a sync covers. Time Off and Absence is specific to Workday and Folders & Projects to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. Custom Fields Typed fields (Text, Numeric, Date, DropDown, Contacts, Checkbox) defined at account or space level; mapped to database columns, with values written by field ID. Payroll Results is specific to Workday and Custom Fields to Wrike — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Workday and Wrike

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.

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

Wrike Workday Sub-second propagation

DetectionWrike notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks scoped to a folder, a space, or the whole account fire on events like TaskCreated, TaskStatusChanged, and FolderCreated, with event.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Wrike: Approximately 400 requests/minute per user (estimated on a per-second basis) with a higher per-IP ceiling; exceeding the limit or tripping Wrike's internal overload protection returns HTTP 429, handled with exponential backoff.

How the Workday and Wrike connectors work

Workday

Integration surface
SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for the REST API; integration system users with WS-Security or certificate-based auth for SOAP
Change detection
Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface
Capabilities
read · write

Wrike

Integration surface
REST API v4 (JSON), single account endpoint such as www.wrike.com/api/v4; the data-center host (US or EU) comes from the OAuth token response, plus REST-managed Webhooks
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for multi-user apps (Authorization header carrying access_token and requested scopes), and a legacy Permanent Access Token for single-account and testing use
Change detection
Webhooks scoped to a folder, a space, or the whole account fire on events like TaskCreated, TaskStatusChanged, and FolderCreated, with event filtering and custom payload fields; polling the task updatedDate is the fallback
Capabilities

Rate limits
Approximately 400 requests/minute per user (estimated on a per-second basis) with a higher per-IP ceiling; exceeding the limit or tripping Wrike's internal overload protection returns HTTP 429, handled with exponential backoff
