Why teams connect GitHub and Workday

Connect the financial records in Workday with the work happening in GitHub, 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. GitHub 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 Workers, Organizations, Positions, Compensation in Workday and Repositories, Issues, Pull Requests, Commits in GitHub in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records GitHub 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

  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • Sync organization and team membership with an identity or HR system to automate access reviews and offboarding.
  • Create GitHub issues automatically from records written elsewhere, such as bug reports logged in a CRM case object.

Where GitHub 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 GitHub 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.

Where GitHub 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.

What you can sync between GitHub 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.

GitHub objects Workday objects
Releases Tagged versions synced into changelogs, CRMs, or customer-notification systems. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs.
Workflow runs (Actions) CI results synced into incident and reporting systems. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems.
Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.
Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
