Why teams connect Braze and Workday

Connect the financial records in Workday with the work happening in Braze, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Workday holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Braze is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Payroll Results, Suppliers, Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries in Workday and Segments, Campaigns, Canvases, Subscription Groups in Braze in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Braze keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Workday is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
  • Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • Export campaign and Canvas engagement data into a warehouse for cross-channel reporting.
  • Sync audience membership computed in the warehouse into Braze segments for targeting.

Where Braze tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where Braze handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Workday next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

Where Braze collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Workday

Payment and charge activity flows into Workday as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.
