Why teams connect Front and Workday
Connect the financial records in Workday with the work happening in Front, 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. Front 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 Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results, Suppliers, Customers and Invoices in Workday and Comments, Contacts, Accounts, Inboxes in Front in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Front 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.
- Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
- Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
Where Front 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 Front 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 Front 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.
What you can sync between Front 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.
| Front objects | Workday objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. | Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. | |
| Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. | Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. | |
| Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. | Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. | |
| Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. | Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. | |
| Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. | Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. | |
| Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. | Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems. |

FAQ
Front and Workday integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Front and Workday: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Front's Comments and Contacts), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Front and Workday: Where Front tracks people or companies: one identity; Where Front handles customer conversations: billing context in view; Where Front collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Workday. 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.
-
Front: REST API (Core API). Authentication: OAuth authorization via the Stacksync UI ("Connections" > "create new connection" > "Front" > "Authorize") — no coding required. Workday: SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 for the REST API; integration system users with WS-Security or certificate-based auth for SOAP. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Workday: Workday data is effective-dated: records carry validity dates, and reads can be scoped to an as-of moment, which shapes how syncs interpret changes. Front: The data model is conversation-centric: messages, comments, and tags attach to conversations rather than tickets, which shapes how support data maps to relational tables. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Front and Workday without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Front and Workday records are not retained after a sync operation.
