Okta and Tray

Okta is the source of truth for identity, but keeping users and access synchronized across every system takes more than built-in workflows. Tray connects Okta with HR, ITSM, and application tools to automate provisioning, enforce policies, and maintain visibility.

Tray orchestrates identity workflows across Okta and connected systems, adding multi-step logic, approvals, and governance that extend what’s possible with native automation. Teams can manage identity, access, and compliance through one governed platform that scales with your environment.

Automations

Automations with Okta and Tray

Tray automates how Okta connects with your other systems. HR or directory events can start workflows that create, modify, or deactivate users across SaaS, on-prem, and internal tools. Workflows can use Okta event hooks or scheduled checks to detect changes, apply logic for access policies, and manage approvals before updates occur.

Each workflow includes retries, error handling, and sequencing controls so changes happen in the right order and under governance. A single workflow can create users in Okta, add them to Jira projects, and post onboarding notifications in Slack, all in one governed process.

Workflows are designed visually in Tray’s drag-and-drop builder, making complex identity automation faster to build and easier to govern. Tray processes high-volume provisioning events with built-in queuing, retries, and dependency management to keep data consistent across systems.

Integrations

Integrations with Okta and Tray

Tray connects Okta with HR, IT, and security tools to unify identity management. Integrations keep user records and access policies consistent across systems. Tray supports hybrid identity environments where Okta can act as the source or target alongside tools such as Azure Active Directory (AD), Ping, or custom directories.

Tray’s HTTP connector supports custom authentication, pagination, and rate-limit handling to integrate any system with an API, including complex internal or legacy applications.

Workflows can extend with HTTP steps to include specialized or proprietary systems while maintaining full control.

Okta integration capabilities

Integrate Okta with 700+ applications using the Okta connector or any system with an API using Tray’s HTTP connector. These domains mirror Okta APIs and how IT teams actually manage identities, groups, and access policies across systems.

Manage lifecycle and access across systems

  • Create and update users: Add, update, or deactivate users based on HR or system changes
  • Sync group membership: Align roles, departments, and permissions across applications
  • Mirror changes: Update connected systems when Okta attributes change
  • Remove users: Trigger offboarding workflows and revoke access consistently
  • Attach attributes: Sync metadata such as manager, cost center, or location
  • Integrate with SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management): Manage identities and attributes using standard protocols

Agents

Build agents with Okta and Tray

Agents built in Tray Merlin Agent Builder can check, update, and enforce access across systems using Okta data for context. Okta acts as the trusted source of truth for identity and access data, so every agent action stays aligned with verified records. These agents combine identity details from Okta with data from HR, ITSM, or finance tools to take action under defined permissions.

Ground agents with relevant Okta knowledge

  • Combine sources: Use Okta with HR or ITSM data for context-aware actions
  • Build a data source: Query approved user, group, and app assignment data through APIs
  • Filter scope: Limit access by department, role, or app
  • Detect changes: Use event triggers or scheduled checks to stay current
  • Use company knowledge: Return approved data grounded in internal context and link back to the correct records

FAQs

Yes. Tray integrates through the official Okta API to manage users, groups, apps, and events securely.
