HR Data Definition (Workday API Integration)

Here, you need to select employee attributes that you want to be processed for the employee along with the polling interval for Workday® API Integration. You can also apply custom filters on the report data.

Full Load

If you have selected Full Load then a full report for all the selected attributes from the employee attributes will be generated. This report will be generated on the basis of type of polling interval selected.

For polling, you can refer to Workday® API polling.

Periodic Full Sync

Periodic Full Sync lets you keep your HR data up-to-date by scheduling regular updates. You can choose to run these updates every day, week, two weeks, or four weeks. For example, if you pick '1 day,' your first update will start 24 hours after setup, with future updates happening daily. This lets you ensure your HR data stays fully synchronized as needed.

Initial one-time full sync

You can select the Initial one-time full sync checkbox if you want to receive an initial pull of the full report as soon as the flow is deployed.

Apply Selection Criteria

Hire2Retire enables you to process specific events and filter out the rest by defining filter criteria.

You can create complex filters using And or Or conditions.
