Supported Pages
The TextUs Chrome extension supports the following Workday record types and list views:

See the sections below for more information about how to use the TextUs Chrome extension with Workday.
Import and message contacts with the Find Numbers feature
The Find Numbers feature extracts any name and phone number information on a supported Workday list view or page view, then displays the information on the Numbers Found menu.
You can then review and import the user’s contact information into your TextUs account, or use batch actions to send targeted text messages, campaigns, or enroll contacts in a sequence (available with Automation licenses only).
View conversation history in Workday
Your Workday integration automatically logs all text conversations back to the corresponding Candidate and Student records. This allows your team to keep track of text communications and view previous TextUs conversations in one place.
Please note that note logging is not supported for Employee records.
