DEPRICATED: Workday SOAP API Powershell Script Module

Sorry, this project has been depricated.

Description

Provides simple methods for accessing the Workday SOAP API.

This simple Powershell Module has been written to fulfill my employer's Workday automation needs. I see this as a prototype, while I experiment with the best way to expose the complexities of the Workday API in a Powershell-y way. Thinking that the community might find it helpful and may even wish to comment or contribute, I have hosted the source on GitHub (https://github.com/treestryder/powershell_module_workdayapi).

Features

• Easy command-line use, after setting default configuration options and securely saving them to the current user's profile.
• Get Worker information for one or all workers.
• Get / Set / Update Worker email.
• Get / Set / Update Worker phone.
• Upload Worker Photos.
• Upload Worker Documents.
• Run reports.
• Trigger Integrations and retreive their status.
• Submit arbitrary API calls.
• A sample script to push A.D. changes to Workday (samples/Push_AD_to_Workday.ps1).

Fine Print

Please use with caution. This module could cause baldness, could warp time and space, could kill your puppy or, could do nothing at all. I am sharing what I am using as a starting point for a community developed solution.

Any and all contributions are more than welcome and appreciated.
