--- name: workday-automation-18d7d1732766 description: "Automate HR operations in Workday -- manage workers, time off requests, absence balances, and employee data through natural language commands." requires: mcp: - rube --- # Workday Automation Automate your Workday HR operations directly from Claude Code. Look up workers, create time off requests, check absence balances, and validate time off eligibility -- all without leaving your terminal. **Toolkit docs:** [composio.dev/toolkits/workday](https://composio.dev/toolkits/workday) --- ## Setup 1. Add the Rube MCP server to your Claude Code config with URL: `https://rube.app/mcp` 2. When prompted, authenticate your Workday account through the connection link provided 3. Start automating your HR workflows with natural language --- ## Core Workflows ### 1. Search and List Workers Retrieve worker information with search and pagination. **Tool:** `WORKDAY_LIST_WORKERS` ``` Search for workers named "Sarah" and include terminated employees ``` Key parameters: - `search` -- search by name or worker ID (case-insensitive, space-delimited for OR search) - `includeTerminatedWorkers` -- include terminated workers in results - `limit` (default 20, max 100) / `offset` -- pagination controls ### 2. Create Time Off Requests Submit time off requests for workers with full business process support. **Tool:** `WORKDAY_CREATE_TIME_OFF_REQUEST` ``` Create a vacation request for worker abc123 for March 15-17, 2026 (8 hours each day) ``` Key parameters: - `ID` (required) -- Workday worker ID - `businessProcessParameters` (required) -- must include `action` with `id` field (use `"d9e4223e446c11de98360015c5e6daf6"` for submit action) - `days` (required) -- array of time off entries, each with: - `date` (required) -- date in `yyyy-mm-dd` format - `timeOffType` (required) -- object with `id` of the eligible absence type - `dailyQuantity` -- hours or days quantity - `comment`, `start`, `end`, `position`, `reason` -- optional fields - `businessProcessParameters.comment` -- optional business process comment ### 3. Check Time Off Eligibility Validate which dates a worker can take off before submitting a request. **Tool:** `WORKDAY_GET_WORKER_VALID_TIME_OFF_DATES` ``` Check if worker abc123 is eligible to take time off on March 15, 2026 ``` Key parameters: - `ID` (required) -- Workday worker ID - `date` -- specific date to validate (`yyyy-mm-dd`) - `position` -- filter by specific position ID - `timeOff` -- filter by specific time off plan/type ID - `limit` (max 100) / `offset` -- pagination ### 4. View Absence Balances Check remaining time off balances for workers across all plans. **Tool:** `WORKDAY_LIST_ABSENCE_BALANCES` ``` Show me absence balances for all workers in the organization ``` - Retrieves balances for time off plans and leave of absence types - Can be filtered by worker ID, category, and effective date ### 5. Get Current User Profile Retrieve the authenticated worker's profile information. **Tool:** `WORKDAY_GET_CURRENT_USER` ``` Show me my Workday profile information ``` - No parameters required - Returns the authenticated worker's profile - Use this first to get the worker ID for subsequent operations ### 6. View Time Off History Retrieve time off details and history for a specific worker. **Tool:** `WORKDAY_GET_WORKER_TIME_OFF_DETAILS` ``` Show me the time off history for worker abc123 ``` - Retrieves a collection of time off details for the specified worker - Useful for auditing time off usage and remaining balances --- ## Known Pitfalls - **Worker ID resolution:** Always call `WORKDAY_GET_CURRENT_USER` or `WORKDAY_LIST_WORKERS` first to resolve Workday worker IDs. Worker IDs are Workday-specific UUIDs, not employee numbers. - **Time off type IDs must be valid:** The `timeOffType.id` in `WORKDAY_CREATE_TIME_OFF_REQUEST` must reference a valid eligible absence type for that worker. Use the "Get Worker Eligible Absence Types" flow to discover valid type IDs. - **Submit action ID:** The `businessProcessParameters.action.id` should be `"d9e4223e446c11de98360015c5e6daf6"` for the submit action. Using an incorrect ID will cause the business process to fail. - **Date format:** All date fields use `yyyy-mm-dd` format. ISO 8601 with timestamps is not accepted for date-only fields. - **Pagination limits:** The maximum `limit` is 100 across all Workday endpoints. Default is 20. Always paginate for complete datasets. - **Business process approval:** Creating a time off request initiates the business process but does not guarantee approval. The request enters the normal approval workflow. --- ## Quick Reference | Tool Slug | Description | |---|---| | `WORKDAY_LIST_WORKERS` | Search and list workers with staffing info | | `WORKDAY_GET_CURRENT_USER` | Get the authenticated worker's profile | | `WORKDAY_CREATE_TIME_OFF_REQUEST` | Submit a time off request (requires `ID`, `businessProcessParameters`, `days`) | | `WORKDAY_GET_WORKER_VALID_TIME_OFF_DATES` | Check time off date eligibility (requires `ID`) | | `WORKDAY_LIST_ABSENCE_BALANCES` | Retrieve absence balances across time off plans | | `WORKDAY_GET_WORKER_TIME_OFF_DETAILS` | Get time off history for a worker | --- *Powered by [Composio](https://composio.dev)* --- Source attribution: ComposioHQ Original project: https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Dave AI. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 Gabriel Moreira Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
