Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Help Scout, 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 Help Scout and Okta integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Help Scout 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 Help Scout and Okta
Okta + Help Scout + Slack: When a new user is provisioned in Okta, a corresponding user profile is automatically created in Help Scout. Subsequently, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel to inform the team about the new user creation.
Okta + Help Scout + Google Sheets: Automatically tracks new Help Scout user accounts created via Okta provisioning in a Google Sheet for auditing. The flow starts when a new event is triggered in Okta, then searches or creates a user in Help Scout, and subsequently logs the new user information into a Google Sheet.
