Workday Reports connector

The managed Workday Reports connector in Lakeflow Connect allows you to ingest data from Workday reports into Databricks.

This page covers the Workday Reports connector, which ingests data from Workday custom reports. To ingest data from standard Workday HCM modules, see Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) connector.

What to know before you start

Topic	Why it matters
Databricks user persona	The workflow depends on your Databricks user persona: Single-user: An admin user creates a Unity Catalog connection and an ingestion pipeline. Multi-user: An admin user creates a connection for non-admin users to create pipelines with.
Authentication method	The steps to create a connection depend on the authentication method you choose. For supported methods, see Authentication methods.
Interface	The steps to create a pipeline depend on the interface.
Ingestion frequency	The pipeline schedule depends on your latency and cost requirements.
Common patterns	Depending on your ingestion needs, the pipeline might use configurations like history tracking, column selection, and row filtering. Supported configurations vary by connector. See Feature availability.

Start ingesting Workday reports

The following table provides an overview of the end-to-end Workday Reports ingestion flow, based on user type:

User	Steps
Admin	Create Workday access credentials. See Configure Workday reports for ingestion. Either: Use Catalog Explorer to create a connection to Workday Reports so that non-admins can create pipelines. See Workday Reports. Use the data ingestion UI to create a connection and a pipeline at the same time. See Ingest Workday reports.
Non-admin	Use any supported interface to create a pipeline from an existing connection. See Ingest Workday reports.
