Manage Short Term Users with Okta Workflows

Many organizations utilize short term as well as full time employees. Short term employees are sometimes known as contractors as they are usually contracted to perform a specific task over a specified time period. A contractor would usually have a contract expiry date. That is the date at which their current contract is due to expire. Certain people within the organization, like the contractors manager, will need to be notified ahead of the expiry date, so they can potentially renew the employees contract or plan for the employee to leave the organization. It also should be noted that often for legal reasons, an employee on a contract, can not be at the employers place of work, or perform any tasks for their employer, if they do not have a current active contract. I have seen situations in the past where an employees contract expired and they had to leave the worksite for a number of days until a new contract was put in place.

Okta Workflows is the perfect solution to this use case. In this tutorial we will use a pre-configured template to create a number of flows designed to demonstrate this use case.
