How to register an OAuth app for SD Worx

Apideck enables you to build a native integration with SD Worx, a comprehensive HR and payroll solution that delivers people solutions across the entire employee lifecycle. This guide explains how to configure the SD Worx connector.


Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  1. An SD Worx account with API access enabled
  2. Your SD Worx Company ID (contact SD Worx support to obtain this)

Getting credentials from SD Worx

1. Contact SD Worx Support

To get started with the SD Worx API, contact SD Worx support to:

  • Request API access for your account
  • Obtain your Company ID
  • Get your OAuth client credentials (Client ID and Client Secret)
  • Ensure the necessary API permissions are granted

2. Obtain your Company ID

Your Company ID is a unique identifier for your organization within the SD Worx system. This will be provided by SD Worx support when you request API access.

💡 Tip: Keep your Company ID handy—you'll need it during the connection setup.


3. Get OAuth credentials

SD Worx uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. You will receive:

  • Client ID — Your application's unique identifier
  • Client Secret — A key used to sign JWT assertions

Configure connector

Once you have your SD Worx credentials, you can enter them in Apideck to connect securely.

Go to Apideck → Configuration → HRIS → SD Worx

Enter the following credentials:

  • Client ID — Your OAuth client ID from SD Worx
  • Client Secret — Your OAuth client secret from SD Worx

Apideck - Configure SD Worx credentials


Environment selection

SD Worx provides both production and testing environments:

  • Production: https://app.sdworx.com/wow
  • Testing: https://app.acc.sdworx.com/wow

The connector automatically detects the environment based on your server URL configuration. Make sure to select the correct one in the dropdown.
