This article provides steps to send custom-branded emails from Okta Workflows after a custom domain is configured in the Okta organization.
- Okta Workflows
The domain associated with an email depends on how it is triggered. For a user to receive an email associated with a Brand, the email must be triggered either by the user while on the Custom Domain associated with the Brand or via API.
-
Configure a CUSTOM domain. See Configure a custom domain and email address for instructions.
-
Create a new Okta connection with the CUSTOM domain listed in the Domain section. See Create a new connector for instructions. Name this connection something that clearly states the CUSTOM domain is used.
-
Create the Workflow that will send the email. Be sure to select the CUSTOM domain connection when adding the card.
NOTE: This example uses the Activate user card.
-
Please confirm the CUSTOM domain is selected as the connection for the Activate user card.
NOTE: Only the card that sends the email requires the custom domain connection. All other cards can use either the DEFAULT or CUSTOM domain connection.
- After selecting the CUSTOM domain connection, confirm that the correct name appears in the flow.
- The flow is now configured to send emails using the CUSTOM domain configured within the tenant.
