Workday (OAuth)
Integrate your application with the Workday API
🚀 Quickstart
Connect to Workday with Tenklo and see data flow in 2 minutes.
In Tenklo (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Workday (OAuth).
Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then log in to Workday. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.
Let's make your first request to the Workday API (fetch worker information). Replace the placeholders below with your Environment API key, integration ID, and connection ID:
curl "https://api.tenklo.dev/proxy/v1/{connectionConfig.tenant}/workers" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
-H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
-H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"Or fetch credentials dynamically via the Node SDK or API.
The {connectionConfig.tenant} in the URL represents the tenant. You can get this value from your connection configuration after creating the connection.
Follow our Auth implementation guide to integrate Tenklo in your app.
To obtain your own production credentials, follow the setup guide linked below.
✅ You're connected! Check the Logs tab in Tenklo to inspect requests.
Next step: Embed the auth flow in your app to let your users connect their Workday accounts.

🚨 API Gotchas
- Workday provides two APIs, a REST and a SOAP one and Tenklo supports them both.
- Access to most of Workday's API doc resources, including detailed documentation on OAuth authentication flows, is typically restricted to Workday customers and partners. To access these resources, you can:
- Sign In to Workday Community: Visit the Workday Community and sign in with your Workday credentials. If you don't have an account, you can request one.
