What Telara does

Capability matrix

Before you connect

Prerequisites

A Workday tenant Telara can reach.
An integration user whose security groups cover the people data Telara should see.

Vendor setup

Get the credential

1
Note the REST root
Copy the Workday REST service root for this tenant (the URL Workday documents for API access, not the worker inbox URL).
2
Connect or paste
Settings → Integrations → Workday. Prefer Connect when the tenant allows it. Some tenants still paste a username and password for a dedicated integration user.

In Telara

Connect in Telara

OAuth 2.0

Workday REST APIs are tenant-scoped. Store base_url as the enabled Workday REST service root for the tenant.

In Telara, open Settings → Integrations, choose this connector, and click Connect. Telara sends you to the vendor to approve access, then returns you here. You do not create an OAuth app or paste a client secret.

Fields Telara asks for
  • Base Url
Basic auth

Workday tenant basic auth, when enabled by the customer tenant.

In Telara, open Settings → Integrations, choose this connector, and enter the username and password (or key) Telara asks for.

Data handling

Permissions & data handling

Telara has not published a permission list for this connector yet. Treat the vendor consent screen as the source of truth until this page lists scopes.

Excluded from semantic search: Employee.

After connect

Verify it worked

After you save, Telara runs a read-only check against the account. The integration shows as connected when that check succeeds.

Honesty

Known limitations

The inbox / UI hostname is usually the wrong URL.
Narrow security groups produce a narrow view in Telara. That is Workday access, not a missing connector.
