How to integrate Payday in automation workflow?

3 simple steps to make your Payday connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.

STEP 1

Select Payday in workflow

Pick Payday app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.

STEP 2

Connect Payday

When prompted, authorize access to Payday in WEXTL once. Payday credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].

WEXTL wants to integrate with your Payday account. Approve?

STEP 3

Build a workflow

Build your workflow with Payday yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Payday to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

Payday

How Payday connects and integrates with WEXTL

Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Payday 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 Payday supports.

Full Payday API documentation

The following table illustrates what fields Payday integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Video slide demonstrates how Payday is connected in WEXTL builder [4].

Field	Type	Help
API Environment	select	—
Client IDRequired	text	Create an OAuth application and get a clientId at the company settings page in your account
Client SecretRequired	password	Copy your clientSecret at the company settings page in your account

Connect Payday to popular apps on WEXTL

Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Payday below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Payday. 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 Payday integration

Select Watch Products trigger from Payday - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Payday, workflow will start [7] from Watch Products node.

Search for Create Product Movement, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Products and Create Product Movement, so only important data pass from Watch Products to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Payday automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].

Payday on WEXTL has 51 modules for combining hr automations. Explore Payday documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about automating Payday in your workflows.

Payday has 2 triggers, including "Watch Products" and "Watch Users". Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.

Integration has 49 actions, including "Get a Customer", "Get a Customer by SSN", and "Get a Product", and more. Refer to our Payday 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 Payday integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Payday official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.

Absolutely. Where Payday 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 Payday 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 Payday 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 Payday modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
