Solution
Set up an Event hook that will notify when a certain event is triggered in the Okta tenant System Logs.
- "Event hooks are outbound calls from Okta, sent when specified events occur within the org. They take the form of HTTPS REST calls to a URL specify, encapsulating information about the events in JSON objects in the request body. These calls from Okta are meant to be used as triggers for process flows within your own software systems.
- To handle event hook calls from Okta, is a need to implement a web service with an internet-accessible endpoint. It's your responsibility to develop the code and arrange its hosting on a system external to Okta. Okta defines the REST API contract for the requests that it sends."
The exact event would want to set up a hook for the Attribute update event type, the event will appear in our documentation search for "app.saml.sensitive.attribute.update".
