How to connect PostgreSQL and Okta
Create a New Scenario to Connect PostgreSQL and Okta
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a PostgreSQL, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, PostgreSQL or Okta will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PostgreSQL or Okta, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the PostgreSQL Node
Select the PostgreSQL node from the app selection panel on the right.


PostgreSQL

Configure the PostgreSQL
Click on the PostgreSQL node to configure it. You can modify the PostgreSQL URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Okta Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the PostgreSQL node, select Okta from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Okta.

Authenticate Okta
Now, click the Okta node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Okta settings. Authentication allows you to use Okta through Latenode.
Configure the PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL 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 donβt 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 PostgreSQL, Okta, 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 PostgreSQL and Okta integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL and Okta
Okta + PostgreSQL + Slack: When a new user is added to Okta, their information is logged into a PostgreSQL database. A message is then sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the security team of the new user.
Okta + PostgreSQL + Google Sheets: When a new user event occurs in Okta, the event details are stored in a PostgreSQL database. Weekly, a summary of these events is compiled and added to a Google Sheet for tracking and analysis.

FAQ PostgreSQL and Okta
How can I connect my PostgreSQL account to Okta using Latenode?
To connect your PostgreSQL account to Okta on Latenode, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your Latenode account.
- Navigate to the integrations section.
- Select PostgreSQL and click on "Connect".
- Authenticate your PostgreSQL and Okta accounts by providing the necessary permissions.
- Once connected, you can create workflows using both apps.
Can I automate user provisioning from Okta to PostgreSQL?
Yes, you can! Latenode's visual builder simplifies automating user provisioning. Triggered by Okta events, it updates your PostgreSQL database in real-time, reducing manual data entry and ensuring consistent user data.
What types of tasks can I perform by integrating PostgreSQL with Okta?
Integrating PostgreSQL with Okta allows you to perform various tasks, including:
- Automatically updating PostgreSQL user profiles based on Okta group memberships.
- Syncing Okta user data into PostgreSQL for custom reporting and analytics.
- Creating new PostgreSQL database accounts when a user is added to Okta.
- Auditing Okta authentication events and storing them in PostgreSQL for security analysis.
- Managing PostgreSQL database access based on Okta roles and permissions.
How do I query my PostgreSQL database within Latenode workflows?
Latenode offers a dedicated PostgreSQL node, allowing you to execute SQL queries directly within your workflows. Use variables and data mapping for dynamic queries and real-time data retrieval.
Are there any limitations to the PostgreSQL and Okta integration on Latenode?
While the integration is powerful, there are certain limitations to be aware of:
- Large data transfers may impact workflow execution time.
- Complex SQL queries might require optimization for performance.
- Custom Okta attributes may need manual mapping to PostgreSQL fields.
