Find Affinity contacts when absence eligibility changes
Give managers a ready contact review when availability rules change for a worker.
Trigger
Worker Eligible Absence Type Changed
Triggers when a worker becomes eligible or ineligible for an absence type. This trigger monitors the list of eligible absence types for a specific worker and detects when new absence types are added (worker becomes eligible) or when absence types are removed (worker becomes ineligible). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare the list of absence type IDs between polls. Note: Due to Workday security permissions, this endpoint typically only allows access to the authenticated user's own data.
Action
Get all persons
The affinity api offers paginated access to person data using `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. bulk extraction needs special permissions and supports multiple parameters.
