Workday Integration for HR, Payroll, Time Off, Benefits and Learning — Workday HRIS integration for workforce management

Organizations that run on Workday can now connect it once, with their own Workday account, and use that one connection across the platform. No passwords are stored. Workday becomes the system of record for people, managers, departments and locations. Time-off balances come from Workday, so schedules and leave requests count what Workday holds. Benefit elections appear in Benefits Management, and Workday pay results show on My Paychecks. Data also flows back to Workday: approved hours are sent for payroll, an offer accepted in Offer Manager can start the hire in Workday, course completions finish the worker's Workday Learning enrollment, and a recognition award can be paid as a Workday one-time payment. Workday's own notifications can trigger a sync straight away, so changes don't wait for the next scheduled sync. The Workday connector is offered as an add-on.

Use case: A retail chain on Workday connects it once, and store schedules, leave balances, new hires and payroll hours stay in step with Workday without anyone re-typing data in two systems.

Available in: Payroll Connect → Admin → Integrations → Workday

Preview Onboarding as a New Hire — test an employee onboarding template before it goes live

HR teams can now see an onboarding template the way a particular new hire will see it before anyone is hired. Preview asks only for the details the template's groups and conditions depend on, such as location, department or job, or lets you pick a real person. It then opens that hire's onboarding screen, form pages and phone view full screen. You can tick off welcome items, tasks, check-ins, forms and policies, or finish the whole plan to see the completion screen. Nothing is saved and nobody is notified, and two lists show which items wait on the hire's profile and which don't apply to them.

Use case: An HR coordinator checks that a warehouse hire in Texas gets the right safety forms and first-week tasks, and that an office hire doesn't, before the template is used for next Monday's start class.

Available in: Onboarding Hub → Templates → a template → Preview

Playbook Versions with Review Before Publishing — version control and rollback for AI workflow automations

Changes to an AI playbook are now saved as a draft and don't affect live automations until an admin reviews them and chooses Publish Version. When a new version is published, the playbook's scheduled and event-triggered automations pause until someone checks their inputs and approval settings. Runs already in progress keep the steps and inputs they started with. Published versions are listed on the playbook page, and any earlier version, or the plan a past run used, can be copied back to a draft and published again. Operations and IT teams can now change automated processes without an unfinished edit reaching production.

Use case: An operations admin reworks a weekly staffing-gap playbook, reviews the draft, publishes it, and returns to the previous version from Published versions when the new step needs more work.

Available in: Loop → AI Playbooks → a playbook → Publish Version / Published versions
