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

This automation updates a custom profile field for all active users in your Okta org. It runs on a schedule and writes each user’s email address to their Custom 1 profile attribute — a handy pattern whenever you need to populate or sync a profile field across many users at once.

How the flow works

1. Scheduled Flow trigger runs the flow on a schedule.
2. Okta – List Users with Search searches for all users with status ACTIVE and streams each user to the helper flow.

How the helper flow works

1. Helper Flow receives a user record object with all user fields and reads the ID, Email, and Login fields.
2. Okta – Update User updates the user profile using the user ID and sets the Custom 1 field to the user’s Email.
