Scout RFP
Add Scout RFP to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Scout RFP is strategic sourcing software, acquired by Workday in 2019 and sold since as Workday Strategic Sourcing, so this connector covers the sourcing workspace under either name. The work in it is arranged as events: an intake request from the business becomes a sourcing project, suppliers are invited and answer a questionnaire, responses are scored, and an award and its saving are recorded at the end. That is a workflow with stages, owners and due dates, and it is where an embedded integration earns its place, because your product can start an event from a need it already knows about and follow it to award without anyone retyping the request. Every organisation writes its own questionnaires, stages and custom fields, so those are mapped per customer. fastn holds the credentials and keeps the connector current.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let each customer connect their own sourcing workspace so events and intake requests are readable inside your product.
Raise an intake request from a need your product identified, so sourcing starts from real demand rather than an email.
Read supplier responses and their scores so your product can show how an event is progressing towards an award.
Read awards and recorded savings so the outcome of an event is visible where the original request was made.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reports which sourcing events are past their due stage and who owns each one.
An agent reads the responses on an event and summarises how the suppliers differ, with each read logged.
An agent raises an intake request within governed permissions, with the write attributed to the tenant that authorised it.
Example prompt
Which sourcing events are still open past their target date, and which suppliers have not responded?
Set up Scout RFP in 4 steps
- 01Enable the Scout RFP connector in your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own sourcing workspace, whether it is branded Scout RFP or Workday Strategic Sourcing.
- 03Map the event, intake request, supplier response and award fields that organisation configured, including its own questionnaires and stages.
- 04Call it from your product and expose the same connection to your agents through the MCP gateway.
Why teams use the Scout RFP integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Scout RFP integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Scout RFP account inside your product and work their work items, assignees and due dates there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: every team configures its own fields, statuses and workflow stages. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Scout RFP update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Scout RFP connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep work items in step with what happens in your product without wiring it twice.

AWS Simple Storage ServiceScout RFP integration FAQ
How do I add a Scout RFP integration to my product?
Enable the Scout RFP connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Scout RFP account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Scout RFP client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Scout RFP account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Scout RFP account and only ever sees their own work items, assignees and due dates. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Scout RFP integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reports which sourcing events are past their due stage and who owns each one.
Who maintains the Scout RFP integration?
fastn does. When Scout RFP changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can my product create and update work in Scout RFP automatically?
Yes. Items can be created, updated, assigned and transitioned from your product, and changes made in Scout RFP can trigger your workflows in return.
Does it adapt to each team's own Scout RFP setup?
Yes. However a team has configured Scout RFP, whether that is custom fields, statuses and workflow stages or its own calendars and working hours, those are mapped per customer, so an unusual setup works without custom code from you.
What can I build with the Scout RFP integration?
A common starting point: let each customer connect their own sourcing workspace so events and intake requests are readable inside your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Scout RFP integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Scout RFP does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
