Accelerate innovation on the Workday Platform.
Build custom apps, workflows, and agents for unique business needs — with Workday data, processes, security, and governance built in.
Why enterprises build with Workday Extend.
Workday Extend helps organizations create custom capabilities directly on the Workday platform. Teams build from data, business processes, security, reporting, UI, APIs, and orchestration, keeping applications connected to the context where people and financial work happens.
Consolidate and simplify fragmented systems.
Organizations often rely on niche applications, spreadsheets, and manual processes for needs that standard configuration does not cover. Workday Extend helps teams consolidate these disconnected tools by building purpose-built apps on the secure Workday platform.
Before beginning a custom build, teams can evaluate pre-built and partner solutions through the Workday Marketplace.
Respond rapidly with custom apps and workflows.
When a new business requirement appears, teams can build custom experiences, business processes, data objects, and automation across Workday and external systems. Workday Extend supports a continuum from low- and no-code tools to professional developer experiences.
Workday Integrations help teams connect APIs, workflows, and data across Workday and external systems. This lets teams automate end-to-end processes without standing up a separate integration stack.
Innovate with AI and custom agents.
Workday Extend Professional expands the platform for enterprise-scale apps, AI-infused experiences, and custom agents. Teams can use Workday Build developer tools, apps, orchestration, APIs, connectors, and agent-building capabilities to create solutions with Workday business context.
Custom and partner agents can be governed through the Workday Agent System of Record. The Workday Agent System of Record Is Now Generally Available explains how ASOR supports openness and interoperability through standards such as MCP and A2A.
