Okta Workflows - Preview release notes

Current release

Preview release of Okta Workflows 2023.05.2 began deployment on May 24, 2023.

Jira Service Desk connector

The Jira Service Desk connector is now called the Jira Service Management connector to reflect the changed name for this product. There are no changes in functionality for existing Jira Service Desk cards.

Freshservice connector update

Freshservice announced the deprecation of username and password authentication as of May 31, 2023. After this date, any connections created using the Authorize By Credentials option on the Freshservice connector will stop working. To avoid errors in their Freshservice workflows, users should migrate their connections to use the Authorize By API Key option. See Deprecation of username and password-based basic authentication for API v2.
