Connect, Automate, and Solve: Inside the Okta Workflows Discussion Group

While the Okta Community hosts over two dozen discussion groups, the Workflows group consistently drives some of the most enthusiastic, active conversations across the entire forum. That’s no accident. Identity automation moves fast, and builders need a place to compare notes.

Okta Builder Advocate Max Katz is at the center of that collaboration. Leading the group both online and offline through local meetups, he champions direct peer-to-peer connection:

“I enjoy helping people directly — and seeing the community step in to help each other without needing me at all.”

What is the Okta Workflows Discussion Group?

The Okta Workflows Discussion Group is a dedicated collaborative hub within the Okta Community where nearly 400 identity engineers, IT admins, and automation architects ask implementation questions, troubleshoot logic flows, discover pre-built connectors, and share operational templates.

Beyond the technical resources, it functions as a tight-knit network where members tackle complex identity challenges together. As Katz notes:

“The best topics are when another member answers a question before we even see it — that's the group working as intended, not just us answering support tickets.”
