Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Okta, Freshdesk, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the Okta and Freshdesk integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Okta and Freshdesk (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Okta and Freshdesk
Okta + Freshdesk + Slack: When a new user is provisioned in Okta, a corresponding contact is created in Freshdesk. Subsequently, a notification is sent to the IT team in Slack to inform them about the new user creation.
Freshdesk + Okta + Google Sheets: When a user reports multiple errors via Freshdesk tickets, the system suspends the user's Okta access. User data is then saved to Google Sheets for auditing and record-keeping purposes.
