How to set up field mappings for Workday employees

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Merge supports active/inactive as well as pending employees (new hires) for our Workday integration. Workday has different endpoints for active/inactive employees compared to pending employees, so the field mappings will be separate.

To set up a field mapping for employees:

  1. Go to the linked account page -> Field Mapping

  2. Click + Mapping -> Map a new target field

  3. Select the Employee common model and name your target field

As an example, let's say we want to map the descriptor from the Job_Family_Reference field in Workday. There will be two field options for that field in the dropdown selector.

  • If we want to set this field mapping up for active/inactive employees, select the field that begins with wd:Worker_Data

  • If we want to set this field mapping up for pending employees, select the field that begins with env:Body

To set up a field mapping for active/inactive as well as pending employees you will need to set up 2 separate field mappings for both the env:Body and the wd:Worker_Data options.
