Building Agentic Apps on Workday.
Build custom apps and agents that act on Workday data and business context, with developer tools and enterprise governance in one platform.
What are agentic apps?
Agentic apps combine custom applications, AI agents, enterprise data, and business processes so work can move from insight to governed action. On Workday, they use people and financial context, configured business processes, APIs, and orchestration to connect work across systems.
Workday Extend Professional is designed for enterprise-scale custom apps, agents, and AI. It is part of Workday Build, the developer platform for people, money, and agents.
Build custom agents.
Workday Extend Professional provides a low-code agent-building experience for professional developers and IT teams building organization-specific agents and agentic apps. Teams can build custom agents that run on Workday, use Workday tools and connectors, and manage them alongside Extend apps and orchestrations.
Teams should use the approved product name supplied by Extend Product Marketing when this page goes live; current messaging identifies the low-code developer experience as Sana Agent Builder / Workday Flowise Agent Builder.
APIs and orchestration.
Custom apps and agents can take action across Workday and external systems through APIs, connectors, and Workday Integrations. Workday’s open platform supports standards and protocols including MCP, A2A, REST, GraphQL, SOAP, JDBC, and Iceberg.
Agent governance.
The Workday Agent System of Record is Workday’s centralized platform for managing an organization’s digital agentic workforce. It supports discovery, registration, configuration, monitoring, and management of Workday-built, partner-built, self-built, and external agents in the Agent Management Hub.
