Why teams connect Google Cloud Platform and Workday

Land the financial records from Workday in Google Cloud Platform continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Suppliers, Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS) from Workday into tables in Google Cloud Platform in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Google Cloud Platform can be written back to fields in Workday where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • Publish change events to Pub/Sub so downstream services react to record updates as they happen.

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in Google Cloud Platform, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Workday where the finance team can act on them.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in Google Cloud Platform gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Workday arrive in Google Cloud Platform as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between Google Cloud Platform 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.

Google Cloud Platform objects Workday objects
BigQuery datasets Namespaces that group tables; syncs target tables within a dataset. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.
BigQuery tables The primary analytics destination, written through load jobs or the Storage Write API and queried with SQL. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Cloud SQL databases Managed Postgres, MySQL, and SQL Server instances synced like ordinary relational databases. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
Cloud Storage objects Staging area for file-based bulk loads into BigQuery and other services. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems.
Pub/Sub topics Event streams used to move change events between systems in near real time. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools.
Firestore documents Document data read and written through the Firestore API for app-facing syncs. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used.

How the Google Cloud Platform and Workday connectors work

Google Cloud Platform

Integration surface
Per-service REST and gRPC APIs; BigQuery speaks SQL and Cloud SQL exposes standard database wire protocols
Authentication
IAM service accounts with OAuth 2.0 tokens
Change detection
Varies by service: log-based CDC on Cloud SQL (logical replication or binlog, also via Datastream), Pub/Sub for event delivery, polling for BigQuery tables
Capabilities
read · write · CDC · webhooks
Rate limits
Quotas are set per service and per project; BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Cloud SQL each enforce their own limits

Workday

Integration surface
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
Change detection
Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface
Capabilities
