We are able to get the Connector to connect to Workday but no mater what information I pass for "SystemID" I get "expected a text value" error. WorkdayHCM.GetEmployeeEmploymentInfo("Employee ID", what goes here? )

I've tried a Text field in my App, typing in a name using "text", 'text' and text .. all with the same error.

Has anyone used the Connector that can explain what they are expecting us to pass for "systemID" ??

The field is either the EmployeeID number or the WorkerID number of that person (not everyone in Workday is an employee). Many of my customers will sync the Workday EmployeeID number to a field in AD/Azure AD. You would then query Azure AD (standard connector) to get that value.

Alternatively, you might trigger your workflow when Workday changes. Then, Workday tells your workflow what the WorkerID is:

Re: Using the WorkDay Connector

I do have an incident opened and am waiting for a response. I created a simple trigger flow to connect to WorkDay and try to retrieve data. Below is what I sent in for the Incident:

The actual error is:

Re: Using the WorkDay Connector

@Anonymous ,

The Workday Day connector is currently in Preview stage and have a few issues which the Product Team is still working on to fix it.

I haven't used this connector but based on the document: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/workdayhcm/

SystemID is a string and is part of a key that uniquely identify integratable object.

Hopefully this helps and if not, please have a Support ticket open with us and we will assist you further.

Thanks and Regards
