About the Workday integration

Add the Workday piece to a flow, connect your account once, and the rest of the builder can read from it and write to it. Because the piece is open source you can run it on our cloud or self-host it, and combine Workday with 760+ other apps in the same flow.

Workday, answered.

Yes. Activepieces is open source and free to start, and the Workday piece is included on every plan, from the free cloud tier to any self-hosted deployment.

Add the Workday piece to a flow, then authenticate with OAuth 2.0. Once connected, its 14 triggers and 25 actions are available anywhere in the builder.

"Business Process Event Completed" can start a flow that runs "Approve Task", and you can chain Workday together with any of 760+ other apps and AI steps in between.

Yes. Activepieces is fully self-hostable, so you can run the Workday piece on your own infrastructure with your connections and your data staying in your environment.

Yes. Every piece you connect can be exposed over one Activepieces MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client can call Workday actions as tools.
