Sentinel gives your team real-time visibility into Workday integrations by monitoring the Workday Integration Event Service. It collects, transforms, analyzes, and categorizes integration event data — then alerts the right people, at the right time, with the right context.
Whether you’re troubleshooting a payroll delay or preempting a missed onboarding, Sentinel helps you stay one step ahead of issues that impact employee trust and business continuity.
What Is Sentinel?
Sentinel is a purpose-built monitoring layer for Workday integrations. It connects directly to your Workday tenant through a secure OAuth connection and continuously monitors integration events — including those from Connectors, Studio, EIB, SFTP/flat file workflows, direct API integrations, and more.
It doesn’t replace Workday’s tooling — it surfaces critical signals from it, so your team can catch issues before they escalate.
Key Benefits
Empower Doers with Contextual Alerts
Sentinel alerts include severity, error summaries, timestamps, and ownership — so front-line HRIS and IT teams know exactly what’s broken and where to look.
Enable Managers with Oversight and Accountability
Sentinel makes integration health visible across the team. Managers can track acknowledgments, see who’s watching an issue, and know when something’s resolved — all without pinging someone on Slack.
Reduce Resolution Time and Noise
Sentinel turns Workday’s raw integration events into categorized, human-readable insights. That means fewer false alarms and faster response to real problems.
Build Trust in Business-Critical Workflows
When payroll, onboarding, offboarding, or compliance workflows break, the impact is real. Sentinel gives you confidence that issues are spotted early — and resolved fast.
Secure by Design
Sentinel follows strict enterprise-grade security standards, including ISO 27001 certification. Data access is tightly scoped, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never exceeds what’s required to monitor integration health.
Who Is Sentinel For?
Sentinel is built for teams who live in the Workday ecosystem:
HRIS Analysts & Technologists managing the configuration and performance of Workday integrations
People Systems Teams ensuring HR workflows run without friction
IT or Integration Admins responsible for uptime, error handling, and vendor connections
People Ops & HR Leaders who need visibility without digging into logs
How Sentinel Works
Sentinel integrates directly with your Workday tenant using a secure OAuth connection. Once connected, it listens to the Workday Integration Event Service, pulling real-time data across:
Workday Connectors
Studio integrations
EIBs (Enterprise Interface Builder)
SFTP/Flat File delivery workflows
Custom APIs and other integration endpoints
These events are automatically transformed, categorized, and analyzed for anomalies or failures. Sentinel then sends human-readable alerts tailored to your team’s workflows and assists in the process of remediating issues.
