Xoxoday Empuls ICM integrates natively with Salesforce and Workday to automatically pull incentive input data on a predefined schedule and push payroll submission data back through APIs, enabling end-to-end incentive compensation processing without manual file exports.
Native Integration with Salesforce and Workday
Xoxoday Empuls supports direct, two-way integration with both Salesforce and Workday, covering the full lifecycle of incentive compensation management — from pulling performance and sales data as inputs, to delivering processed payout figures back into payroll systems. For organisations already running CRM workflows in Salesforce or HR and payroll operations in Workday, Xoxoday Empuls eliminates the need for manual data extraction and re-entry. Data flows automatically at predefined frequencies, keeping incentive calculations aligned with the most current records without requiring spreadsheet handoffs or intermediary file transfers.Replicating Existing Data Templates
A key advantage of the Xoxoday Empuls ICM integration is that it mirrors your existing data formats. Rather than restructuring how your organisation already captures data in Salesforce or Workday, Xoxoday Empuls replicates the existing templates and maps fields accordingly. Your teams continue working in the systems they know, while Xoxoday Empuls fetches and processes the data in the background. For example, if your sales team tracks quota attainment and deal closures in Salesforce, Xoxoday Empuls fetches those records automatically to calculate commission and incentive payouts — using the same column structures and data schemas your team already maintains. No reformatting, no manual mapping on each cycle.Payroll Submission via Workday API
Once incentive calculations are complete, Xoxoday Empuls uses Workday’s API to write payroll submission data directly back into the system. This removes a recurring bottleneck in compensation cycles where finance teams would otherwise manually reconcile incentive outputs against payroll runs. The API-based output ensures processed payout data lands in Workday in the correct format, ready for the next payroll cycle. Organisations running monthly or quarterly incentive plans benefit significantly from this automation, particularly when managing large sales teams or multi-tier incentive structures across regions.A Closed Loop from Input to Payout
Xoxoday Empuls handles both the input and output sides of the integration. Salesforce feeds in the performance and sales data. Workday receives the final payout figures. Everything in between — calculation logic, plan rules, approval workflows — runs within Xoxoday Empuls. The result is a closed loop that reduces manual errors, shortens compensation cycles, and gives compensation managers a single source of truth. Organisations that previously relied on spreadsheets or manual payroll journal entries find this particularly valuable when scaling incentive programmes across larger teams or multiple business units. Because Xoxoday Empuls can operate alongside other connected HR systems — including SAP SuccessFactors and Darwinbox — the same integration principles extend across your broader HR and finance stack, not just Workday alone.Learn more: [Xoxoday Empuls Help Centre — Integration](
