How Zapier works
Zapier makes it easy to integrate AWS Lambda with Okta - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.
Choose a trigger
A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Function" from AWS Lambda.
Add your action
An action happens after the trigger—such as "Activate User" in Okta.
You’re connected!
Zapier seamlessly connects AWS Lambda and Okta, automating your workflow.
Supported triggers and actions
Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.

Frequently Asked Questions about AWS Lambda + Okta integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with AWS Lambda and Okta
How do I integrate AWS Lambda with Okta for user management?
To integrate AWS Lambda with Okta for user management, you can create a Lambda function that utilizes the Okta API to perform actions like creating or updating users. You’ll need to configure triggers based on events such as new user creation in your application, and the Lambda function will handle the communication with Okta.
Can AWS Lambda functions be triggered by events in Okta?
While AWS Lambda cannot be directly triggered by events in Okta, you can use intermediary services like webhooks. When an event occurs in Okta, you can send a webhook to an endpoint that triggers your AWS Lambda function.
What permissions are required to access Okta from AWS Lambda?
The permissions required depend on the actions your AWS Lambda function will perform. Typically, you need API token access on Okta that allows for required operations like user management or directory schema updates. Ensure that these tokens are securely stored and accessed within your AWS environment.
What are some common use cases for integrating AWS Lambda with Okta?
Common use cases include synchronization of user data between systems, automation of onboarding and offboarding processes, and triggering custom workflows when specific events happen in either platform.
How do we handle errors during the integration process?
To handle errors during integration, implement error logging within your AWS Lambda functions. You may also set up alerts using Amazon CloudWatch to instantly notify you of any failures or issues so you can address them promptly.
Is there a limitation on how often actions can be triggered from an event in this integration setup?
The frequency of invoking actions via this setup largely depends on any rate limiting imposed by either AWS or Okta APIs. Be sure to review the API rate limits for both services to ensure compliance and optimize performance.
Do we need any specific framework or tool to help with integrating these two services?
While no specific framework is strictly necessary to integrate AWS Lambda with Okta, using tools like the Serverless Framework can simplify setup and deployment processes by managing configurations and resources efficiently.
