Workday RaaS

Workday Report-as-a-Service (RaaS) is a feature that exposes reports as web services. These reports must be configured as Advanced type reports to be web service enabled.

Custom Reports Setup

Custom Reports (advanced type) can be exposed as a Web Service to be used programmatically. Workato uses this web service to automate report run and to integrate report data from Workday to other applications.
