The spoke requires an Integration Hub subscription and is designed for Workday Learning version 36.0, with potential compatibility for later versions.
Key Features
- Integration Setup: Requires registering an Integration System User with OAuth 2.0 client credentials (Client ID, Client Secret) and assigning specific domain and business process permissions to ensure secure and authorized access to Workday Learning data.
- Dependencies: Installation requires several ServiceNow plugins including IntegrationHub Action Steps for SOAP and REST, Flow Designer Dynamic Inputs/Outputs, Complex Object, System Import Data Source, Integration Hub Runtime, and Action Template for Data Stream.
- Flows and Subflows: Provides a sample flow (“Trigger Workday Learning Integration”) and several subflows to automate key learning tasks such as assigning courses, pulling course and user activity data, tracking approvals, and mapping users between Workday Learning and ServiceNow.
- Actions: Includes predefined actions categorized into Approval Management, Course Management, User Management, and Skills Management, enabling retrieval and creation of assignments, course details, user data, and skills information.
- Modules: The spoke offers modules for configuring RAAS reports, setting tenant timezone, and managing data source synchronization for user activity, self-enrollment, and approval tracking with error handling capabilities.
- Connection and Credential Management: Utilizes Integration Hub aliases to manage connection and credential information efficiently across multiple environments, simplifying maintenance and updates.

Connection and credential alias requirements
Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection. For more information, see Connections and Credentials.
