Workday Inc., an enterprise resource planning software company, today announced plans to acquire Pipedream Inc., a startup that provides an integrated platform for artificial intelligence agents, for an undisclosed price.
Founded in 2019, Pipedream provides a low-code, event-driven environment that allows developers to write small amounts of production code (such as Node.js or Python) that responds to triggers such as webhooks or scheduled events. This code can also pull data from and push data to application programming interfaces, and integrate with other services.
Pipedream provides over 3,000 built-in app integrations or connectors and over 10,000 tools, triggers, and actions that you can use to build workflows and power your AI agents. With over 5,000 customers and tens of thousands of users, the platform enables developers and knowledge workers to build automated flows and agent-driven experiences across multiple systems without having to separately handle authentication, API throttling, and connector maintenance.
The company is also focused on agent workflows, going beyond simply moving data from A to B, including helping build AI agents that can understand prompts and intent. Agents can retrieve data from connected systems, trigger tasks, update records, send notifications, and more on your behalf, then integrate the data into broader business workflows.
Pipedream handles many of the complex components for developers, including managed authentication, standardized tokens, refresh flows, secure credential storage, and orchestration of triggers and actions in a cloud environment. The platform also supports visual workflow building and offers a software development kit and API to embed custom code if needed.
Workday plans to use Pipedream’s technology to extend its existing intelligence to the thousands of applications people work in every day, including Asana Inc., Hubspot Inc., Jira, Recurly Inc., and Slack. After the acquisition, Workday customers will be able to bring information and workflows from across the business directly into Workday and take action on the external apps their teams rely on. This is accomplished by providing the connectivity that AI agents need to go beyond insight and get the job done.
“Workday represents a significant advancement in practical AI, becoming a connected system for our customers to plan, coordinate and execute work,” said Gabe Monroy, senior vice president of platforms, products and technology at Workday.
For the acquisition, Pipedream raised $22.4 million in two rounds of funding, according to Tracxn data. Investors include Cortado Ventures, Myelin Ventures, and Starship Ventures.
“By joining Workday, we can bring that simplicity to more than 11,000 organizations around the world, unlocking AI-powered workflows that make their lives dramatically easier,” said Tod Sacerdoti, Founder and CEO of Pipedream.
Subject to customary closing conditions, Workday’s acquisition of Pipe Dream is expected to close in Workday’s fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2026, ending January 31, 2026.
