How to connect Amazon SES and Okta
Create a New Scenario to Connect Amazon SES and Okta
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Amazon SES, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Amazon SES or Okta will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Amazon SES or Okta, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Amazon SES Node
Select the Amazon SES node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Amazon SES, Okta, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Amazon SES and Okta integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Amazon SES and Okta (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Amazon SES and Okta

Okta + Amazon SES + Google Sheets: Upon the creation of a new user in Okta, a welcome email is sent via Amazon SES, and the event is logged into a Google Sheet for auditing.
