Integration with Okta's HRIS system for employee data synchronization

## What Harmony does with Okta HRIS

Harmony connects to Okta HRIS to keep employee records, department structures, and lifecycle events in sync so that service requests and automations always reflect the current state of your workforce. When a new hire is added in Okta HRIS, Harmony can immediately kick off onboarding workflows without any manual handoff. Offboarding triggers are handled the same way, ensuring access and tasks are tied to real HR data rather than stale spreadsheets. The result is an HR-aware service desk that operates directly inside Slack or Microsoft Teams.

## Data synced

- Employee profiles including name, title, and contact details
- Department and team organizational structure
- Employment lifecycle status such as active, on leave, or terminated
- Manager and reporting-line relationships

## Actions available

- Create or update employee records when HR events occur
- Trigger onboarding or offboarding workflow sequences based on lifecycle changes
- Sync updated org chart data to refresh routing rules and approver assignments

## Real-world use cases

**New hire ready on day one**: When HR marks a new employee as active in Okta HRIS, Harmony immediately launches the onboarding checklist in Slack, assigning equipment requests and account provisioning tasks to the right teams without any manual intervention.

**Instant offboarding on termination**: The moment a termination is recorded in Okta HRIS, Harmony triggers a structured offboarding workflow in Slack that notifies IT, revokes pending approvals, and logs each completed step for the HR team's audit trail.

**Manager change, approvals rerouted**: When a reporting-line update is synced from Okta HRIS, Harmony automatically recalculates approval chains so that any open IT or HR tickets in the queue are immediately reassigned to the new manager without the employee needing to resubmit.
