How to integrate Planday in automation workflow?

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

STEP 1

Select Planday in workflow

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

STEP 2

Connect Planday

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

WEXTL wants to integrate with your Planday account. Approve?

STEP 3

Build a workflow

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

Planday

How Planday connects and integrates with WEXTL

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

Full Planday API documentation

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

Demonstration of Planday connection step inside WEXTL Workflow Builder [4].

Field	Type	Help
Application IDRequired	text	This is your Application ID. To generate this, login to planday and navigate to Settings > Integrations > API Access. When setting application credentials on Planday website, use the following redirect uri: `the Callback URL shown in this connection form`.

Connect Planday to popular apps on WEXTL

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

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

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

Planday on WEXTL has 56 modules for combining hr automations. Explore Planday documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about automating Planday in your workflows.

Planday has 7 triggers, including "Watch Absence Requests", "Watch Employee Shifts", and "Watch Employees", and more. Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.

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

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