What your agents can do in Workday

Find workers
Lists current workers (employees and contingent workers), optionally matching a case-insensitive name search, optionally with terminated workers.
Get a worker
Reads one worker's profile by Workday ID, by reference ID (Employee_ID=21001 or Contingent_Worker_ID=…), or me for the person who signed in.
List a manager's direct reports
Lists the workers who report directly to a manager (a Workday ID, Employee_ID=…, or me).
List a team's workers
Lists the workers in one supervisory organization (a team), by its Workday ID or Organization_Reference_ID=…; a worker's primarySupervisoryOrganization.id names theirs.
List a worker's time off
Lists a worker's time-off entries, optionally between two dates.
Get time-off balances
Reads a worker's balances for every absence plan and leave type, as of today or a given date.
List the time-off types a worker may request
Lists the time-off types, absence tables and leave types a worker is eligible for.
List job postings
Lists the company's job postings.
Run a WQL query
Runs a read-only Workday Query Language query, like SELECT worker, fullName, email_PrimaryWork FROM allWorkers WHERE … , and returns the rows in data with total.
Write 1
Create, change or send.
Request time off
Submits a time-off request for a worker: one time-off type (an id from "List the time-off types a worker may request") on one or more dates, with an optional amount per day.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.

Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.

Ask about your Workday data

- 02
Let an agent update Workday
Have the agent request time off in Workday as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Workday and Slack: it can find workers in Workday and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
