Okta Workflows (https://www.okta.com/au/platform/workflows/) makes it easy to automate identity processes at scale – without writing code. Use if-this-then-that logic, Okta’s pre-built connector library, and the ability to connect to any publicly available API to enable anyone to innovate with Okta.
Okta Workflows can be used in many identity use cases, covering workforce, IGA/PAM and consumer IAM. It fills the gap where out-of-the-box functionality can’t address a need, and an obvious area for blog articles. A lot of great information, like how-to guides, can be found in the help documentation: https://help.okta.com/wf/en-us/Content/Topics/Workflows/workflows-main.htm.
Also, there’s some brilliant material on https://maxkatz.net/ (Max is part of the Okta Product Acceleration Team focusing on Okta Workflows).
