Access Workday reports through Download tool

[bryanmac_92]

How can I access Workday using the Download tool?

I have a URL, Username and Password but not sure what else I need. 

Confused by this process.

I found this thread for reference: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Workday-Connector/td-p/941552

just use the download tool -> set up your url - > encode your username/password as username:password. use the base_64 tool -> throw "Basic "+your base64 term.

@Apathetichell,

Can you provide insight into how to configure the download tool for this? the Header tab? Payload tab?

[apathetichell]

throw your username:password into a field. use the base 64 tool to encode. add a new formula tool - through 'Basic '+- output of your base 64. your url is whatever your report URL is. You should not need a payload to retrieve your Workday report - but ask your Workday admin. Content-Type should be determined by your report. Use GET as your http action. Talk to your Workday team if you have any errors.
