# Create a Workday Propagation Connection

This use case shows you how to create a propagation connection between a Workday source identity store and your PingOne directory target identity store.

A Workday propagation connection is unique in requiring a writeback of information from the target, PingOne directory, to the source, Workday. Workday is demonstrated because of its unique writeback requirement. This use case guides you in successfully creating a Workday propagation connection.

This scenario illustrates the following common operations:

* Create a propagation plan.

* Create a propagation store.

* Create a writeback propagation store (applicable only to Workday).

* Create a propagation rule.

* Create a writeback propagation rule (applicable only to Workday).

* Create propagation rule mappings.

* Create writeback propagation rule mappings (applicable only to Workday).

* Create a new propagation revision.

## Prerequisites

Get an access token from the worker application that you created in [Create an admin Worker app connection](../../../getting-started/create-an-admin-worker-app.html). To get a token from a different worker application in an alternate sandbox environment, run the token request endpoint using the client ID and client secret of your chosen worker app to authenticate the request. For more information, refer to [Get a PingOne admin access token](../../../getting-started/create-a-test-environment/step-1-get-access-token.html).

## Workflow order of operations

To create a Workday inbound propagation connection, you will need to complete the following tasks:

1. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/passwordPolicies` to create a password policy for the population of users to synchronize with Workday.

2. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/populations` to create a population of users to synchronize with Workday.

3. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/plans` to create a Workday propagation plan.

4. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/stores` to create a Workday inbound source propagation store with a `type` of `Workday`.

5. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/stores` to create a Workday inbound target propagation store with a `type` of `PingOne`.

6. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/stores` to create a Workday writeback source propagation store of `type` directory (applicable only to Workday). No separate writeback target propagation store is required, the target is the Workday inbound source propagation store.

7. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/plans/{{planID}}/rules` to create a Workday propagation rule for mapping `Workday` attributes to `PingOne` attributes.

8. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/plans/{{planID}}/rules` to create a Workday propagation rule for mapping `directory` attributes to `Workday` attributes (applicable only to Workday).

9. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/rules/{{ruleID}}/mappings` to create a Workday inbound propagation rule mapping that associates a specific Workday attribute to a specific PingOne attribute.

10. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/plans/{{ruleID}}/rules` to create a Workday writeback propagation rule mapping that associates a specific `directory` attribute to a specific `Workday` attribute (applicable only to Workday).

11. Make a `GET` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/rules/{{ruleID}}/mappings` to verify Workday inbound propagation rule mappings of attributes between `Workday` and `PingOne`.

12. Make a `GET` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/rules/{{ruleID}}/mappings` to verify Workday writeback propagation rule mappings of attributes between `directory` and `Workday` (applicable only to Workday).

13. Make a `GET` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/rules` to verify the Workday inbound propagation rule between `Workday` and `PingOne` and the Workday writeback propagation rule between `directory` and `Workday` (applicable only to Workday).

14. Make a `GET` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/stores` to verify Workday propagation stores of types `Workday`, `PingOne`, and `directory`.

15. Make a `GET` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/plans` to verify Workday propagation plans.

16. Make a `POST` request to `/environments/{{envID}}/propagation/revisions` to create a new propagation revision to ensure all operations are reflected in the PingOne Admin Console.
