JDX & Workday Integration
Workday
Govern job content in JDX, then send approved job profiles and positions straight into your Workday tenant.
Silver-level Workday marketplace partner
Real API, on approval
Job profiles and positions move through Workday Web Services when your workflow finalizes a job — not on an overnight batch.
Positions, not just profiles
Create positions and edit position restrictions from JDX.
Mirror your choice lists
JDX pulls Workday's own reference values, so your dropdowns never drift from what exists in your tenant.
What this integration does
JDX is the system of entry for job information. Your Workday tenant stays the system of record.
- Sync job profiles both ways through Workday Web Services, on approval
- Sync positions both ways — create and edit position restrictions from JDX
- Keep choice lists current by pulling Workday's own reference values into JDX
- Bring in worker data on a nightly file feed, so JDX knows who reports to whom
- Gate every sync behind your approval workflow — nothing reaches Workday until it's approved
- Map fields to your tenant from a published best-practice starting point, not a blank sheet
- Stand it up in about eight weeks, with one Solutions Engineer on our side
-
Authentication
A scoped Workday Integration System User account that you create and control, with permissions limited to the Jobs and Positions, Implementations, and Integration security domains, plus the Manage Job Profile business process. JDX never holds Workday administrator credentials.
-
Data in transit
TLS for the API channel. Encrypted SFTP for the worker file, with optional SSH key and PGP encryption.
-
Data at rest
Encrypted storage on both ends.
-
Access control
Role-based permissions in JDX for field-level visibility on compensation, qualifications, and internal notes.
-
Compliance
SOC 2 and GDPR.
-
Audit
Transfers are logged, and success or failure notifications can be emailed to a defined contact. Imports produce a row-level results workbook.
