Last time, you built the chassis 🔧

Security, the rule-based BP, the Reference Letter template — all wired up and ready. But here's the thing about a chassis: it doesn't go anywhere on its own!

Right now, your setup can distribute a dynamic doc on demand… it just doesn't have a doc to distribute — yet! 😉

You're going to build the actual document in Workday Docs, wire it into the BP you set up in Part 1, initiate its distribution via EIB, and watch it land in your workers' inboxes with the name and date filled in, ready for their review and acknowledgment.

Then you'll top it off with a completion-tracking report so you know exactly who's done and who's dragging their feet.

By the end, that "send this to 2,000 people by tomorrow" request? Handled in an afternoon.

Let's bring it to life ⚡

The series

📍 Part 2 (you’re here): Produce and send out the dynamic document using Workday Docs + the Request Reference Letter EIB.

Here's a sneak peek of where you're headed:

Workers get the doc in their inboxes to sign/acknowledge…

…then it’s stored on their worker profile. ABC, 123.

This is where the good stuff lives.

Free builds awareness. Premium fills all the gaps 🦄

Below:

  • Build the dynamic doc in Workday Docs with worker fields

  • Wire the template into your rule-based BP

  • Generate, populate, and load the EIB

  • Configure a completion-tracking report so you’ve got eyes on the process!

is there anyway to copy the bp definition so that it doesn't show up in the inbox as a request reference letter? We allow self service on req ref letter bp, so this may be confusing to some users

Hey, Ryan!

No, it's not possible to do that — see above:

"The title of this inbox task starts with “Request Reference Letter”. Unfortunately, this can’t be customized, so make sure you communicate this to the recipients well in advance to avoid confusion."

This is definitely the main (and arguably only) drawback of this method, but it's manageable by communicating it to your users in advance. The inbox task's title already contains the name of your dedicated Reference Letter Template (e.g., "Non-Compete Agreement"), and the attached file + instructions should make it abundantly clear what the user is signing.
