Connect ContactMonkey directly to Workday and keep your employee data accurate, automatically.
What is Workday?
Workday is a cloud-based human capital management platform that helps organizations manage their workforce data, from hiring and onboarding to compensation, performance, and offboarding.
It brings together HR records, payroll, talent management, and workforce planning into one centralized system, so companies always have an accurate, real-time view of their people, whether they are full-time employees, contractors, or distributed across multiple regions.
The two platforms are highly complementary, and together they provide a powerful foundation for employee communications. Workday serves as the system of record for your workforce. By connecting Workday’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 touching a spreadsheet.

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.
