Okta Workflows Connector Builder

Okta’s Workflows Connector Builder is a no-code development tool for creating connectors on the Workflows platform. It leverages the same Workflows functionality used by Okta customers to turn their use cases into automated pre-canned flows. Flogrammers (Workflow Programmers) can use Connector Builder to package their flows with authentication and branding to be used by customers in their own tenants, or submitted to the Okta Integration Network for inclusion in the public catalog for use by all Okta customers on the Workflows platform. For additional information on Okta Workflows, see the documentation here and for additional information on Connector Builder, see the documentation here.

This tutorial provides a walk though of how to use the Okta Workflows Connector Builder.

Sample Use Case

Okta provides a number of Workflow Connectors in the public facing catalogue. The list of available connectors can be found here. The Slack connector provides a number of actions that can be used to interact with your Slack workspace. On occasions, you may need to interact with Slack in a more user interactive way via modals. Modals are the Slack app equivalent of alert boxes, pop-ups, or dialog boxes. They capture and maintain focus within Slack until the user submits or dismisses the modal. Because modals require a Slack app definition, they fall outside of what the current Workflow connector provides. In this tutorial, we will create a custom connector that can be used to interact with Slack modals. For further information on Slack modals and creating a Slack application, see the Slack documentation here.
