Send notifications for lifecycle activity

Notify users or admins about relevant lifecycle events such as provisioning, deprovisioning or suspension.

Summary

Problem: An IT administrator needs to be notified when a new user is added or removed from an app, when a user is suspended, or when a user performs a specific action.

Solution: Workflows triggers a custom notification through email or a chat application as a result of any lifecycle event.

Applications: Connectors that support lifecycle management combined with Gmail, Outlook, PagerDuty, and ServiceNow. For the full list of Workflows connectors, see Connectors.

Guidelines and limitations

• Limits in downstream apps can prevent the successful execution of Flows.
• This use case is intended for an organization's internal notifications. Messaging for a large numbers of external end users is not supported.
• Okta event hooks have a daily limit of 100K transactions per day.
• Workflows system-wide limits also apply. See Learn about Workflows best practices and limits.
