Why teams connect Nutshell and Workday

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Workday and Nutshell in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Nutshell knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Workday knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Positions, Compensation, Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results in Workday to People, Companies, Activities, Tasks in Nutshell with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
  • Sync Nutshell leads into a warehouse or Postgres so small B2B teams can report on pipeline without exports.
  • Push closed-won leads to accounting software to trigger invoicing automatically.

Billing detail changes flow back

When a contact or address is corrected in Nutshell, Workday gets the update before the next invoice goes out.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Nutshell when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

Where Nutshell tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in Workday with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.
