Overview

You can use the Workday REST Snap to connect to the Workday REST APIs. This Snap supports all standard REST operations and provides a few enhancements from the traditional APIs, including better object models and better performance with faster API query responses. The=is Snap identifies the REST APIs using the OpenAPI specification specified for the service and connects to endpoints under the selected service. It also supports authentication mechanisms such as OAuth2.0.

Snap Type

The Workday REST Snap is a Write-type Snap.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Workday REST Account, data to query, and Workday access to the specified objects. Contact your organization's Workday Security Administrator for appropriate access.

Support for Ultra Pipelines

The Workday REST Snap supports Ultra Pipelines.

Limitation

The Workday REST Snap does not support specific Unicode, Special, and UTF-8 byte characters because of the API limitation. This Snap produces an unexpected preview in the output when you pass input data with special or Unicode characters.

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution if the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.
