The Okta connector enables Okta to be integrated into a range of innovative business processes that you can automate from Workato, including Okta acting as a trigger for downstream actions, like multi-channel notifications, sophisticated integrations such as provisioning, or polling Okta for identity information to enable secure workflows. The connector also enables Okta to act as a consumer of events and data from other apps, like HR, Service Management, SIEM, and more.\n\nWith so many possibilities, where do you start? Here are three use cases you can implement right away!\n

1) Take action based on events in Okta.<\/h3>\nWith the new connector, you can plug Okta into a limitless range of event-based workflows. For example, you can automate the escalation of security issues. A security notification from Okta (e.g. for an unusual login pattern) can trigger a new ticket in ServiceNow<\/a>, send it to PagerDuty<\/a>, and post a notification in the relevant Slack<\/a> channel.\n\nYou can also use the connector to construct an app onboarding workflow. When a user is provisioned for an app, the tutorials and policies for that app are automatically sent to the user via email. Similarly, you can create a workflow for multi-channel notifications. When a user account is deactivated, for example, that user\u2019s manager is sent a Slack message.\n

2) Automated employee and partner lifecycle workflows from end-to-end with integrated identity access management.<\/h3>\nOur new connector enables you to fully automate your employee or partner lifecycles, from Step A to Step Z. For example, when a new employee signs their offer letter in an HR app\u2014like Workday<\/a> or Zenefits<\/a>\u2014it will trigger the creation of a new Okta user. The workflow can then automatically provision that new user across all associated systems.\n\n
