Short and handy Okta Workflows tips and tricks. Read the full series.

One of the first things to consider after creating a flow is how to run it. You can run (trigger) a flow in the following ways:

  • On event: A flow runs when an event fires, such as User Okta Profile Updated.
  • On schedule: A flow runs at a specific time, such as every Monday at 6:00 a.m.
  • API endpoint: A flow runs when an external system calls its unique URL.
  • Manually: An admin triggers a flow by clicking the Run button for one-off tasks.
  • Delegated flow: A non-super admin runs a specific flow directly from the Okta Admin Console.
