Why teams connect SendGrid and Workday
Connect the financial records in Workday with the work happening in SendGrid, 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. SendGrid 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 Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers in Workday and Categories, Senders, Single Sends, Unsubscribe Groups in SendGrid in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records SendGrid 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
- 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.
- Write bounces, spam reports, and unsubscribes back to the CRM to keep email opt-in status accurate everywhere
- Stream Event Webhook engagement data into a Postgres database or warehouse for campaign and deliverability reporting
Where SendGrid 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 SendGrid 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 SendGrid 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 SendGrid 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.
| SendGrid objects | Workday objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Unsubscribe Groups Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. | |
| Email Activity Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. | |
| Contacts Marketing recipients upserted from CRM or database records, including custom field values. | Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. | |
| List Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. | |
| Segments Query-based contact groups whose membership SendGrid computes from contact fields. | Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. | |
| Categories Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. |

How the SendGrid and Workday connectors work
SendGrid
- Integration surface
- REST API (v3)
- Authentication
- API key (create in SendGrid Settings > API Keys with Custom Access / Full Access for the objects to sync; key begins with "SG")
- Change detection
- Event Webhook posts delivery and engagement events (processed, delivered, open, click, bounce, spam report) to an HTTP endpoint; contact and list changes are detected by polling
- Capabilities
- read · write · webhooks
- Rate limits
- Subject to the platform's API rate limits; contact upserts are batched, asynchronous jobs rather than per-row writes
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
- read · write

FAQ
SendGrid and Workday integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between SendGrid and Workday: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as SendGrid's Unsubscribe Groups and Email Activity), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both SendGrid and Workday. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on SendGrid: Event Webhook posts delivery and engagement events (processed, delivered, open, click, bounce, spam report) to an HTTP endpoint; contact and list changes are detected by polling. On Workday: Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Workday side: Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers, plus custom fields where Workday exposes them. On the SendGrid side: Categories, Senders, Single Sends, Unsubscribe Groups. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
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 SendGrid and Workday: Where SendGrid tracks people or companies: one identity; Where SendGrid handles customer conversations: billing context in view; Where SendGrid 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.
