Concept: Integration Step

An integration is a Workday operation that generates an integration file (such as a payroll integration file) for future use by an external trading partner's application, or by another integration. An integration step always launches an associated

Integration Process Event

business process for that integration system. When you edit a business process definition with an effective date that's in the future, you can add an

Integration

step but you won't be able to configure the step.

You can select from a list of integrations. Each integration is configured for you and your trading partner. Refer to the integration team that configured your integrations for more information.

When an

Integration

step fails, the entire business process that the

Integration

step belongs to is automatically terminated. Example: A network error occurred between your Workday tenant and your integration system. If you don't want the failed

Integration

step to terminate the business process, you can configure redirect on the step. If the step fails, Workday routes it to a configured user to take action. You can set up redirect on an

Integration

step by accessing the

Maintain Redirect

related action.
