What is Dayforce?
Dayforce is a unified human capital management platform that helps organizations manage the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and scheduling to payroll, benefits, and workforce analytics.
It brings together HR, payroll, time and attendance, and talent management into one continuous system, so companies can make faster, better-informed workforce decisions whether their employees are salaried, hourly, or working across multiple sites.
The two platforms are highly complementary, and together they provide a reliable foundation for employee communications. Dayforce serves as the system of record for your workforce. By connecting Dayforce’s live people data with ContactMonkey’s analytics-forward email platform, IC teams can build accurate audience segments, reach the right employees every time, and measure engagement against real headcount, without relying on static exports.

FAQ
Every night. When you come in the morning, your employee lists already reflect anyone who joined, moved teams, or left the day before.
They're automatically removed on the next sync. You won't accidentally send to former employees or inactive accounts.
The basics (name, email, department, location, job title) come over automatically. You can also bring in additional fields if you want to segment by things like region, management level, or employment type.
No, that's the point. IT connects Workday to ContactMonkey once. After that, your lists update on their own. No tickets, no chasing anyone down before a send.
Yes. ContactMonkey only reads the employee data needed to build and maintain your contact lists. Nothing is stored beyond what's required to power your sends, and the connection to Workday is managed through a secure, authenticated setup that your IT team controls. ContactMonkey is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant.
