Why teams connect Firebase and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from Firebase: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers, Organizations from Workday into Realtime Database Nodes, Authentication Users, Cloud Storage Objects, Cloud Functions Triggers in Firebase and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Firebase, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • Write CRM-side changes (plan, status, owner) back into Firestore documents the app reads.
  • Combine Firebase Authentication users with billing and CRM records into one customer table.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Firebase; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Workday.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Firebase propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Workday appear in Firebase as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between Firebase and Workday

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Firebase objects Workday objects
Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.
Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems.
Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools.
Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used.
