How to integrate Dayforce in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Dayforce connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Dayforce
When prompted, authorize access to Dayforce in WEXTL once. Dayforce credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Dayforce account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Dayforce yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Dayforce to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Dayforce connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Dayforce app is called in workflows. That allows your hr automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Dayforce supports.
The following table illustrates what fields Dayforce integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].
Video slide demonstrates how Dayforce is connected in WEXTL builder [4].
| Field | Type | Help |
|---|---|---|
Company CodeRequired | text | For example, |
Namespace / CompanyRequired | text | Dayforce instance. The namespace is the same as the Company value used when logging in to Dayforce. You can obtain this value from your system administrator, if needed. |
UsernameRequired | text | — |
PasswordRequired | password | — |
Connect Dayforce to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Dayforce below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Dayforce. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Dayforce integration
Select Watch Job Postings trigger from Dayforce - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Dayforce, workflow will start [7] from Watch Job Postings node.
Search for Get a Background Job Log, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Job Postings and Get a Background Job Log, so only important data pass from Watch Job Postings to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Dayforce automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Dayforce on WEXTL has 18 modules for combining hr automations. Explore Dayforce documentation for more.
Video slide demonstrates how Watch Job Postings and Get a Background Job Log [6] nodes are used in Dayforce workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Dayforce in your workflows.
Dayforce has 1 trigger, including "Watch Job Postings". Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.
Integration has 17 actions, including "Create Schedules", "Get a Background Job Log", and "Get an Employee", and more. Refer to our Dayforce Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The Dayforce integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Dayforce official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where Dayforce provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Dayforce or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Dayforce inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Dayforce modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
