Workday Learning integration with Zoom for Automated Attendance Tracking

API and Webhooks
1

We need to integrate Workday Learning with Zoom for Automated Attendance Tracking so that we can identify people who actually attended a meeting/webinar as opposed to those who have registered but did not attend. Not finding any solid information online about this integration so hoping someone here can point us in the right direction.

Workday Learning doesn’t have a native Zoom integration for attendance tracking, but you can achieve this by:

  1. Zoom Attendance Reports → Use Zoom’s API or admin dashboard to pull attendee data.
  2. Workday Learning Custom Integration → Workday Studio or an iPaaS tool (e.g., Workato, Boomi) can sync Zoom reports with Workday.
  3. Webhook Automation → Set up Zoom webhooks to log attendance in Workday in real time.

If no direct solution exists, check with Workday/Zoom support or explore third-party middleware for automation. :rocket:

Hi @Anthony4 - Wondering if you’ve had any luck with this since a year ago.
I work at college that has recently transitioned to Workday - and one of the challenges (same as with your statement above) - is that we need to have an auto registration vs. attendance for blended courses (in-person or virtual instructor led)

The web team did manage to integrate Zoom + Workday HOWEVER, and this is a big one - I’m running into 2 issues:

  1. Each time I change information on the Course Offering level (the lesson “instance”) - any assigned instructor gets a NEW email, and the link is then ALSO updated. This is very difficult, because I need to make sure that if changes are made after the fact, or if I need to share a link to persons who are not registering through Workday it stays static.

  2. As an “Organizer” for a department, I need to have access to the attendance records through one account. However, Workday assumes that I cannot schedule more than one concurrent meeting - thereby completely defeating my ability to use it to schedule events. I have to schedule them in Zoom, use those attendance records, then also configure them into Workday, and enroll the folks who registered and attended in Zoom; essentially doubling my work, for an already multi-screen unclear process.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately, we abandoned this since the whole process became too cumbersome. We made very little progress with this and it seems like we just decided not to pursue any further.

Sorry I don’t have anything helpful for you on this.
