What actions can I run in Payday?

49 actions are available, including "Get a Customer", "Get a Customer by SSN", and "Get an Employee", and more. Run them from any trigger in your automation stack — map fields once and they execute automatically.

Do I need to write code to automate this?

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 it is never required.

Is the integration secure?

Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.

When to use Payday

Common scenarios where Payday automation saves time and reduces manual work.

Use Payday's "Watch Products" trigger to react the instant an event occurs and push data into connected tools.
Run "Get a Customer by SSN" in Payday from any upstream event — map fields once and let the automation handle the rest.
Combine "Get a Customer" from Payday with triggers or actions in other apps to close the loop — one event, many downstream outcomes.
