Authorization
When you add a Greenhouse card to a flow for the first time, Okta Workflows prompts you to configure the connection. This connection links to your Greenhouse account and saves your account information, so you can reuse the connection for future Greenhouse flows.
You can create multiple unique connections and manage them from the Connections page in the Okta Workflows Console.
Before you begin

-
Okta Workflows administrator authority
