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

Configure the Gmail and Okta Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Gmail 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 Gmail, 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 Gmail and Okta integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Gmail 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 Gmail and Okta
Gmail + Okta + Slack: When a new email arrives in Gmail, the workflow checks Okta for the user associated with the email address. If the Okta event indicates a suspicious login (e.g., from an unusual location), a message is sent to the security team's Slack channel.
Okta + Google Sheets + Gmail: When a user is provisioned or de-provisioned in Okta (New Event trigger), the event details (user ID, action type, timestamp) are added as a new row in a Google Sheet. A confirmation email is then sent via Gmail to the user or relevant administrator.
