systems you need
Our Integration Approach
• Design automations leveraging existing APIs
and EIBs – minimize need for Workday
admin help
• Drag and drop activities to pull/push
information in/out from/to Workday
• Launch EIBs
• Invoke API Operations
• Available On-Prem and Automation Cloud
New Record:
•New Candidate
Updated Record:
•Existing Evergreen Requisition
•Existing Job Requisition
•Existing Organization
•Existing Worker
•Existing Purchase Item
Use Workday actions to trigger UiPath processes,
including the following events (planned):
7
Deep integration enables Workday users to seamlessly add
UiPath RPA to Workday
UiPath Activity for
Workday
Pre-packaged activities that allow users
to quickly create UiPath Robots that can
retrieve data out of Workday, import data
within Workday, as well as invoke various
Workday operations.
Available in
UiPath Studio and UiPath Marketplace
8
Pre-packaged set of activities, available on UiPath Studio, that connects the UiPath
Enterprise RPA Platform to Workday using Workday’s publicly-supported APIs – making it
easy for users to automate interactions with Workday reports and data.
UiPath Activity for Workday
Type Activity Details
Connection &
Authorization
Workday Application
Scope
Enables the UiPath Robot to
get access to Workday
Workday Object
Get Workday Report
Launch EIB
UiPath Robots can retrieve
data from Workday system,
as well as to trigger changes
within Workday through
launch EIB functionality.
Invoke Workday
Operation
Enables the UiPath Robot to
invoke specific Workday
operations needed to drive
automations.
9
Common use cases across Workday solutions
Human Resources
• UiPath Robots can automatically and
on a schedule create reports of active
and terminated employees and use
the data to update in multiple
systems or send notifications to
external providers like compensation
and benefits platform.
• Filling data gaps into the Workday
system through an UiPath Robot that
identifies data inconsistency based
on predefined rules. Based on all
inconsistencies, the robot creates
Jira tickets and assigns the HR Ops
team for further actions.
Finance Management
• UiPath Robots can automate the
data extraction from the Workday
payroll report and extract the
details to update the report for the
life insurance providers and other
3rd party medical providers.
• Data gathering for internal audit
can be triggered by an UiPath
Robots that based on the Workday
Report as a Service for all global
employees, removes all duplicates
and updates it in the financial audit
tool.
Corporate Planning,
Budgeting
• UiPath Robots can retrieve the
Workday data from generated
reports and update other
systems like Salesforce and
SAP to reflect the organizational
changes with impact on the
workforce planning and
budgeting.

Use Cases
12
All areas in HR can benefit from
automation
Talent Acquisition
Compensation
& Benefits
Employee
experience
Safety &
Compliance
Learning &
Development
Robots provide unbiased
scoring of candidates,
automate new hire
paperwork and onboarding
activities.
Robots automate payroll
changes, updates to
benefits and provide
decision support in
developing compensation
models.
Chatbots augment HR
Helpdesk, answer frequent
questions and perform
common activities (across
all HR, Payroll, Benefit
systems)
Robots detect compliance
and safety risks, automate
common regulatory tasks
(I-9 submissions, compliance
training validation).
Robots automate delivery
of learning materials,
assist managers in building
performance plans, verify
completion of required
training.
HR Operations
Manage onboarding and
offboarding activities,
contingent work and
regular recurrent
processes
HR systems &
technology
Automatically load or
update large volumes of
employee data, create
system access for new
hires and close access for
terminations
Conceptual Architecture (Notional)
Workday
UiPath Assistant and Apps
LoB users trigger
background automations
via actions within a primary
application (Workday)
LoB users OR trigger local
automations to assist with
tasks, via a consistent,
intuitive, non-disruptive
UI – seamlessly integrating
with secondary applications
Contextual actions within everyday activities
LoB general tasks – ad-hoc or related to a larger process
Examples:
• Kick off Review or Approval workflow
including steps in 3rd party systems
• Automatically push/pull data associated
with current activity
• Generate and send Letters/Documents
• Trigger fulfillment activities
Examples:
• Generate a report based on a one-off
request
• Process a document and automatically
trigger multi-system tasks
• Submit a request
• Check status or query data
• Run an automation and output result to
Workday
Add/edit record in
Workday to
trigger
automation
Unattended

end tasks
Outcomes and

Robot brings up
UiPath Forms or Apps
Interface and guides
the user
AI and IDP
incorporated
automatically
as needed
Several ways to seamlessly incorporate Automation without disruption
Key Benefits:
• Cross-system activities are performed by robots, with several methods to trigger automations via multiple events and application actions
• Central orchestration to manage automations across both Attended and Unattended robots
• Integrate intelligent capabilities like AI/ML and Intelligent Document Processing directly within workflows so that outputs are executed on directly or incorporated into a familiar process
Robot connects
directly to Workday
when needed
14
Integration pattern – Perform Actions based on
Workday Report
Robot queries
Workday Report
(Attended with
manual trigger
or Unattended)
Generates
document (offer
letter, contract, etc)
Data scraped from
legacy applications
and joined
Downstream actions (send offer
letter or contract to user, request
signature, update LoB System)
Changes synced to Workday
15
16
Integration Pattern – Workday or Other 3rd Party Event Triggers
Unattended Automation
Several Trigger methods –
1) Workday Extend UiPath Extension
2) Scheduled polling for changes
Future (early 2023) – Integration Service Triggers for Automation
Cloud Users
User makes
request (chat,
self-service
portal)
API call made to
UiPath Orchestrator
to start job (or
polling for event)
Unattended robot
starts job
User Notified via
various channels
(voice, SMS, collab,
email, chat
Workflow results and
output parameters
passed back
Example actions:
• Create credentials for new employees
• Request fulfillment (order equipment,
initiate upgrade request)
• Perform tasks on behalf of user (sign
up for training, schedule orientation
activities)
Or
LoB User (HR
Specialist, etc)
makes update
in Workday
Changed synced to Workday

Editor's Notes

  • #10 Who is it for?
  • #13 Add HRIS / HR Tech section
  • #18 Here is a specific example where the ML model makes predictions about inventory levels for each of thousands of products. This model combines demand data with supplier data to set resupply thresholds that ensure that the least amount of product is warehoused to meet demand. This gets complex fast, as upstream suppliers differ in their ability to send products. The last thing you want to do is to have more demand than supply can handle. The COVID crisis was an extreme example of this, and we saw many companies improve their demand forecasting models in order to be better prepared next time. The steps you see occur mostly when the stock level dips. Without using the UiPath robots, this was the manual steps the procurement officer took to resupply a single SKU. Imagine the effort spent when a dozen or more of these occurred each day. You can see where the robot manages the process, interacting with Tableau, SAP, Excel, Outlook, and Slack, to ensure that a low inventory condition triggered a reliable reorder process. You can also see why this produces a 95% effort reduction – because the robot is doing the connecting and data sharing instead of the person. It all occurs with oversight and approval of the human officer, so there is no loss of governance or dilution of responsibility either. Let’s look at this from the user’s perspective.
