Use cases

What teams actually do with the Workday Adaptive Planning integration

New-hire onboarding cascade

Offboarding orchestration

Workday Adaptive Planning termination event → BeforeQuery revokes SSO, transfers file ownership, closes tickets, cancels calendar invites, and archives the employee's Slack DMs — the entire deprovisioning cascade tracked to zero orphaned access in under 15 minutes.

Workday Adaptive Planning — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to Workday Adaptive Planning.

The minimum set for the playbooks you enable. For onboarding: users, roles, manager relationships, start dates. For PTO Q&A: leave balances + policy. You approve the scope at install; nothing else is pulled. Sensitive fields (comp, PHI) can be excluded even from approved scopes.
Role-change events from Workday Adaptive Planning propagate through the Context Graph on next sync (typically < 5 min). Group memberships, approval chains, and access policies re-evaluate automatically. Any playbook that depended on the old role uses the new one on its next run — no manual re-configuration.
Standard OAuth 2.0 where Workday Adaptive Planning supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your Workday Adaptive Planning data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every Workday Adaptive Planning integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific Workday Adaptive Planning objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch Workday Adaptive Planning for real.
