User Assigned to Application

Trigger a flow when a user is assigned to an app in Okta.

Options

This event card is triggered when the specified app instance in your Okta org receives a user update.

Field Definition Type Required

Use App Instance ID?

Choose how you want to designate the app instance that registers the change and triggers the flow:

  • Yes: Manually enter the app instance identifier using the App Instance ID field.

  • No: Select the app instance using the Application and Application Instance fields in the dropdown list.

Dropdown

TRUE

Application

Specify the app to monitor for the user change.

  • If you don't want to filter for a specific app, select -- All Apps -- from the dropdown list.

  • If you want to filter for a specific instance of an app in your org, choose the app from the dropdown list.

    The dropdown displays up to 1000 apps.

  • To specify an app that isn't in the list:

    1. Select Yes for the Use App Instance ID? option.

    2. Choose -- Enter App Instance ID -- in the Application dropdown menu.

    3. Choose -- Enter App Instance ID -- in the Application Instance dropdown menu.

    4. Manually enter the app instance identifier in the App Instance ID field.

Dropdown

TRUE

Application Instance

Select an instance of an Application within your Okta org.

  • If you want the event triggered when the user change happens only for a specific instance of an app, choose that app instance from the dropdown list.

    The dropdown displays up to 2000 app instances.

  • If you want the event triggered when the user change happens for any apps in your org, select -- All App Instances --.

    However, this option only appears if you select -- All Apps -- for the Application option, as you can't select all instances of a specific application.

Dropdown

TRUE

App Instance ID

Specify an app instance using its unique identifier.

This field is necessary if you choose Yes for the Use App Instance ID? option.

Follow these steps to find the app instance identifier for an app:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to ApplicationsApplications. Click the app to open it.
  2. When the app opens, check the page URL in your browser. The app instance ID is found in the URL: https://{yourcompany}.okta.com/admin/app/{yourappname}/instance/{YOURAPPINSTANCEID}/

    For example, if the app URL is https://acme.okta.com/admin/app/office365/instance/0oahjhk34aUxGnWcZ0h7/ then the app instance ID is 0oahjhk34aUxGnWcZ0h7.
