    Summary of Workday Learning Spoke

    The Workday Learning spoke, developed by Bristlecone, Inc., enables ServiceNow customers to manage approvals, courses, and user data within their Workday Learning instance directly from ServiceNow. Designed primarily for Workday Learning version 36.0 (with potential compatibility for later versions), this spoke integrates key learning management functions into the ServiceNow platform, streamlining workflows and data synchronization.

    Key Features

    • Integration Requirements: Requires an Integration Hub subscription and registration of an Integration System User with OAuth 2.0 authentication to securely connect to Workday REST and Report-as-a-Service (RAAS) APIs.
    • Security and Permissions: Detailed domain and business process security policies must be configured to grant appropriate access to learning content, worker data, reports, and business processes related to Workday Learning.
    • Dependencies: The spoke depends on several ServiceNow plugins, including IntegrationHub Action Steps for SOAP and REST, Flow Designer Dynamic Inputs/Outputs, Complex Object, and Integration Hub Runtime. Some plugins require licenses.
    • Prebuilt Flows and Subflows: Includes a sample flow ("Trigger Workday Learning Integration") and multiple subflows for tasks such as assigning courses, pulling course details, retrieving user activity, tracking approvals, and mapping users between ServiceNow and Workday Learning.
    • Actions: Provides action steps categorized by Approval Management, Course Management, User Management, and Skills Management to automate and retrieve data like approvals, course assignments, course offerings, user details, and skills.
    • Application Modules: Contains modules for report configuration (RAAS reports), profile synchronization (tenant timezone), data source management for user activity and enrollment data, and scheduled imports with error handling features for syncing activities and approvals.
    • Connection and Credential Management: Employs Integration Hub aliases for managing connections and credentials, simplifying configuration across multiple environments and easing maintenance when credentials change.

    Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

    • Centralizes Workday Learning management within the ServiceNow environment, reducing the need to switch between systems.
    • Automates routine tasks such as course assignments, approval tracking, and user activity synchronization, improving efficiency and data consistency.
    • Supports secure integration through OAuth 2.0 and granular permission settings aligned with Workday security policies.
    • Facilitates customization through sample flows and subflows that can be adapted to specific organizational processes.
    • Leverages Integration Hub’s connection aliasing to reduce administrative overhead when managing multiple environments or credential updates.

    Next Steps

    To implement the Workday Learning spoke, ensure that you have an Integration Hub subscription, register the required Integration System User with appropriate permissions, and install all dependent plugins. Utilize the provided sample flows and actions to customize and automate your Workday Learning processes within ServiceNow.

    Spoke version

    Workday Learning spoke v1.1.4 is the latest version.

    Supported versions

    This spoke was built for Workday Learning v36.0, but may be compatible with later versions.

    Spoke requirements

    • Register Integration System User.
      Note:
      While filling account information details, ensure that you select the Do Not Allow UI Sessions check box.
    • Workday REST and Report-as-a-Service (RAAS) API works with OAuth 2.0 to authorize access to resources in your Workday tenant. To use OAuth 2.0, you must register your client in the tenant, using the Register API Client task.
      Record and save these values while registering your client:
      • Client ID
      • Client Secret
      • Workday REST API Endpoint
      • Token Endpoint
      • Authorization Endpoint
    • Create a security group and assign it to the integration system user and provide these permissions.

    Spoke flows

    The Workday Learning spoke provides a sample flow, Trigger Workday Learning Integration. This flow in turn triggers the subflows to automate tasks. To customize the sample flow, copy it to the required application scope.

    Spoke subflows

    The Workday Learning spoke provides sample subflows to demonstrate automating Workday Learning tasks. To customize a sample subflow, copy it to the required application scope. Available sample subflows include:

    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.
