Why Connect Make to Workday?

No single source of truth when scenarios live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Production order data in Make and inventory levels in Workday are reconciled manually, risking stock-outs

Reporting across Make and Workday requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Client engagement details in Make and time-tracking data in Workday do not align, making billing inaccurate

Make limitations compound the integration challenge: steeper learning curve than Zapier, particularly for non-technical users unfamiliar with the concepts of routers, iterators, and data mapping

Manually copying data between Make and Workday wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Make and Workday aligned

How We Help

Connecting Make (automation) with Workday (hr & payroll) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Professional Services and Manufacturing businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of scenarios and connections data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Make uses a REST + Webhook API, and Workday authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Real-Time Visibility Across Teams

When a record updates in Make, every team member working in Workday sees the change instantly. No lag, no stale dashboards, no conflicting reports.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying data between Make and Workday by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

Custom-Built for Your Workflow

Built-In Error Handling and Alerts

Our integrations include automatic retries, error queuing, and real-time notifications. If something fails between Make and Workday, your team knows immediately and the system self-recovers where possible.

Make to Workday Use Cases
