How to Install
There are three steps to install the Workday integration:

. Write this down.

3) Find Human Resources and hover over it to be able to interact with the menu. Via the three-dots menu, go to Web Service
and click on View SDL
(note that the page may take a minute to fully load).
4) Search for wsdl:service
in the file OR navigate directly to the very bottom of the page. You should see something like this:
Copy everything before service
in the location attribute. In the example tenant above, this would be https://wd2-impl-services1.workday.com/ccx
but it may be different for your tenant (e.g., https://wd5-services1.myworkday.com/ccx
).
Set up an Integration System User

2) Choose the “Create Integration System User” task.
3) Enter a username and password in the Account Information section on the “Create Integration System User” page. Make sure to write these down, you'll need these when connecting Workday to Pillar.
4) Once created, you'll need to create a new Security Group for the user. In the Search field, search for “Create Security Group”. Select the “Create Security Group” task.
5) On the “Create Security Group” page, select “Integration System Security Group” from the Type of Tenanted Security Group pull-down menu. Enter a name in the Name field.

Usage
Once the integration is installed, it's time for you to select the roles you'd like to sync with Pillar. Pillar will automatically join interviews for synced roles and scheduled via the ATS according to your organization's settings. There are two settings in Pillar for capturing interviews:
Import All - Pillar will join every interview scheduled through the ATS
Choose Jobs Individually - Specify which jobs Pillar should join
By default, Pillar will use the Choose roles individually setting when the integration is installed.
Once the correct roles are selected, they will populate into Pillar with a toggle next to each.
Note: toggling a role "on" activates Pillar's engagement with that role. This may include recording/transcribing interviews, as well as the activation of automated emails to candidates and interviewers, depending on your organization engagement.
