02The adapter

A Connectify-owned Workday adapter, not a packaged connector

Our team closes that gap by keeping the Workday adapter inside our own runtime, monitored by our SRE rotation and updated as Workday, Inc. ships breaking changes. That means the field maps, sync cadences, and replay rules are shaped to your exact data model — including Worker, position and organization replication on a 5-minute cadence and Worker, position and organization replication on a 5-minute cadence. For PR firms, the difference shows up the first time the upstream API throws a 500 — the adapter retries, journals the failure, and never silently swallows a transaction.

Where Workday usually breaks — and how the adapter holds

The shape of the problem usually starts with media lists and campaign reporting. The runtime takes care of it by mapping every payload through a versioned schema layer with explicit lineage — every record can be traced from the Workday originating event down to the field that wrote it, so the warehouse team stops chasing emails. The adapter also ships with Worker, position and organization replication on a 5-minute cadence so the runtime can keep up when PR firm crews push volume spikes during seasonal peaks.

Why PR Firms pull Workday integration the hardest

PR Firms are constantly fighting media lists and campaign reporting — and Workday sits exactly in the middle of that workflow. Connectify pre-maps the Workday entities the industry actually uses (not the entire vendor catalog) and wires SAML SSO with position-aware role mapping into the lifecycle that matters: plan-to-make. That is the difference between a connector that lights up a checkbox and an adapter that and the ledger stays clean every morning.

Commercial terms — one flat monthly plan, no setup fee

Connectify charges a monthly retainer sized to your message volume — no per-API-call gotchas, no per-seat surcharges, and no setup fee to get started. The Workday adapter goes live only after it is reconciled and signed off by the team that will operate it inside the PR firm workflow. A one-page exit clause hands you the code if you ever leave, so Connectify keeps the adapter working under load to keep your business.

05FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How long does the Workday integration take to ship?

    Our standard window is thirty days from signed scope to live Workday adapter in production, plus a one-week monitored stabilization phase. For PR Firms, that includes a sandbox loop with your team, parallel-run reconciliation, and a documented runbook handed to your operations lead.

  2. How is data security handled?

    Tokens and credentials live inside a hardware-backed secret store with audit logging on every read. The Workday adapter runs on isolated workers with deny-by-default egress, and every message is replayable from a tamper-evident journal for downstream forensics.

  3. What does pricing look like?

    The Workday adapter runs on a flat monthly retainer sized to message volume — no per-API-call gotchas, no per-seat surcharges, no setup fee, and a one-page exit clause.

  4. What happens if Workday changes their API after we go live?

    Our SRE team monitors Workday change announcements and rolls compatibility updates inside our maintenance retainer. If a breaking change ships, we own the migration; you don't pay extra to stay current and you don't field calls from the vendor.

  5. Do we own the integration code at the end?

    Yes. The Connectify Workday adapter ships with full source escrow rights — at any point you can request a snapshot of the code, configuration, and runbooks. We prefer you stay on our managed runtime, but you are never locked in.

  6. Can the Workday adapter handle our custom fields?

    On first connection the adapter discovers every custom field, custom object and custom workflow inside your Workday tenant and presents them as first-class mappings — you decide which to mirror, which to ignore, and which to enrich.
