    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 credentials (Client ID, Client Secret) and assigning appropriate domain and business process security permissions to ensure secure access.
    • Spoke Flows and Subflows: Includes a sample flow, "Trigger Workday Learning Integration," which automates tasks by triggering subflows. Available subflows cover course assignments, course retrieval, user activity, approval tracking, and user mapping between Workday and ServiceNow.
    • Actions: Provides pre-built actions for managing approvals, creating and looking up learning assignments, retrieving course offerings, user details, and skills required for learning programs. These actions support automation triggered by ServiceNow events.
    • Modules: The spoke offers modules for report configuration (RAAS reports), profile synchronization (tenant timezone), data sources for syncing user activity, self-enrollment, and approval tracking, as well as scheduled imports handling transformation errors during synchronization.
    • Dependencies: Requires several ServiceNow plugins, including IntegrationHub Action Steps (SOAP and REST), Flow Designer Dynamic Inputs and Outputs, Complex Object, System Import Data Source, Integration Hub Runtime, and Action Template for Data Stream. Some plugins may require additional licensing.
    • Connection and Credential Management: Utilizes Integration Hub aliases to centrally manage connection and credential data, simplifying multi-environment setups and updates.

    Practical Application for ServiceNow Customers

    ServiceNow customers can use the Workday Learning spoke to efficiently integrate learning management processes, reducing manual efforts and improving data consistency across platforms. By leveraging pre-built flows, subflows, and actions, customers can automate course assignments, track user learning activity, manage approvals, and synchronize user data securely and seamlessly.

    Proper configuration of security permissions and OAuth 2.0 credentials is essential for secure and successful integration. Additionally, installing necessary plugin dependencies ensures full functionality of the spoke.

    Overall, the Workday Learning spoke enhances your ServiceNow instance by providing comprehensive automation and synchronization capabilities with Workday Learning, enabling more streamlined and effective learning management workflows.

    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.
