How to connect Box and Okta
Create a New Scenario to Connect Box 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 Box, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Box or Okta will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Box or Okta, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Box Node
Select the Box node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the Box and Okta Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Box, 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 Box and Okta integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Box 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 Box and Okta
Okta + Box + Slack: When a user's profile is updated in Okta, check if the user has files provisioned in Box, and send a Slack message to a channel notifying of the user's profile update and Box file status.
Okta + Box + Jira: When a new user is created in Okta, create a Jira ticket to ensure they receive access to necessary Box folders. The ticket will track provisioning access.
