HR, payroll and recruiting

Workday Human Capital Management logoWorkday Human Capital Management on Make Enterprise

Workday Human Capital Management is an HR, payroll or recruiting system. Employee, candidate and pay data. Personal information moves here, so every hand-off needs an owner. Here is what Make lists for it, what we build around it, and what to settle before you automate it.

Module names below are copied from Make's Workday Human Capital Management page, last reviewed .

What do we build around Workday Human Capital Management?

These are the kinds of scenarios we build for hr, payroll and recruiting. They describe our work, not features of Workday Human Capital Management.

  • Onboarding and offboarding checklists that span HR, IT and finance
  • Candidate-to-employee hand-offs from recruiting into the HR system
  • Access-removal steps tied to an exit date
  • Headcount and time-off feeds into reporting

Example flows

  • An accepted offer creates the employee record and opens the IT and finance tasks
  • A termination date starts the access-removal checklist and notifies each system owner
  • Approved time off appears on the team calendar without anyone retyping it

What should you settle before automating Workday Human Capital Management?

Settle these before the first production scenario so builders can start without waiting on a later security review.

  • Which fields are personal or pay data, and which scenarios may move them
  • Who can see scenario run data, since it can contain those fields
  • Retention for logs that hold employee data
  • What a scenario does when a record is missing or contradicts another system

Platform-level controls such as SSO, roles, encryption and log retention are Make's own published terms; see make.com/security and our Make Enterprise page for how we scope against them. Make describes the Enterprise plan itself at make.com/enterprise.

Frequently asked questions

Can Make connect to Workday Human Capital Management?

Yes. Make has a Workday Human Capital Management app, and its page states that it is supported and maintained by Make. It is listed in Make's Enterprise integrations category. The modules and names on this page are what Make shows on its own Workday Human Capital Management page as of November 5, 2026, so check Make's page for the current list.

What do you build around Workday Human Capital Management?

We build the scenarios around it: onboarding and offboarding checklists that span HR, IT and finance; candidate-to-employee hand-offs from recruiting into the HR system; access-removal steps tied to an exit date. Scope is set on a call, and each scenario is documented in plain language before hand-over.

What should we decide before automating Workday Human Capital Management?

Start with the guardrails: which fields are personal or pay data, and which scenarios may move them; who can see scenario run data, since it can contain those fields; retention for logs that hold employee data. Settling these first lets builders start without waiting on a security review later.

Does the connection need Workday Human Capital Management admin access?

That depends on what the scenarios do and on Workday Human Capital Management's own permission model. We aim for a dedicated service account with the narrowest role that works, and we record which scenarios write and which only read. Your Workday Human Capital Management administrator decides what that account may reach.
