Office hours questions and answers

How do I set up a return value in a helper flow?

The How to Set Up Helper Flow Return Values in Workflows guide shows how to set up a return value in a helper flow.

How do I get a list of Okta Workflows in my subdomain? I want to regularly audit my domain for:

  1. New flows created by someone.
  2. For an existing workflow, see if it was updated and when.
  3. Generate automated reports to show the health and status of workflows.

The System Log has events about flow creation and update. You can use the System Log for (1) and (2).

The Execution Log Streaming feature could be an option if you have an SIEM product for (3).

How do you build a workflow to notify a list of users from a spreadsheet/Google sheet?

The Import Users from Google Sheets and Create Users in Okta tutorial shows show to import users from a Google Sheets document.

The Send an Email Notification for a New Okta Event tutorial shows how to send an email notification.
