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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Okta, Gmail, 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 Okta and Gmail integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Okta and Gmail (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 Gmail
Okta + Slack: When a new event occurs in Okta, such as a user being created or updated, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the team.
Gmail + Okta + Google Sheets: When a new email arrives in Gmail, the system checks for failed Okta login attempts. If a failed login attempt is detected, the details are logged to a Google Sheet for security analysis.
