Pyn + Workday
Workday is your system of record. Pyn is the experience layer on top, turning Workday events into personalized messages that reach people wherever they work.
Workday knows when someone starts, gets promoted, changes teams, or hits their anniversary. Pyn uses that data to:
- Send timely messages to the right person - through Slack, email, or Teams.
- Send polls and forms - like probation checks or onboarding buddy selection.
- Automate integrations - like adding people to a Calendar invite or Slack group.
- Set your HR Calendar - to manage salary reviews, holidays or company events.
No manual emails. No spreadsheets. No one has to remember.
Workday captures your people data. Pyn puts it to work.
Workday is excellent at what it’s built for: storing employee data, tracking org changes, managing payroll. What it’s not built for is reaching employees in the flow of their day with messages that actually feel personal.
Pyn sits on top of Workday and does exactly that. When something changes in Workday, Pyn reacts. It sends the right message, to the right person, through Slack, Teams, or email.
Why connect Pyn and Workday?
Turn Workday events into employee moments. A new hire added, a promotion recorded, a departure logged. Pyn listens for changes in your Workday data and triggers the right communications automatically. No one has to notice, remember, or act manually.
Reach people where they actually work. Most employees rarely log into Workday. Pyn meets them in Slack, Teams, or email instead, with messages that feel like they came from a real person rather than a system notification.
Personalize using your Workday data. Pyn uses the fields you pull from Workday (role, department, location, manager, tenure, and more) to tailor every message. An engineering manager in London gets something different than a new sales hire in Austin.
Cover the whole lifecycle. Onboarding is just the start. Pyn also handles things like promotions, internal moves, parental leave returns, manager transitions, and offboarding, and more or less any other moment driven by a change in Workday.
Connect Workday with tools you use
The ability to trigger communications based on Workday events ensures employees receive what they need at exactly the right time.
