BenjaminS.51727 (Customer) asked a question.
I'm setting up an automation to alert users of their impending password expiration. I'd like to put a date into the email of WHEN the password expires.
I've tried to read the passwordChanged attribute using "user.passwordChanged" in an expression in the email template, but that breaks the entire template.
How can I get the password last changed date?
why can't you read this attribute from the directory server directly? that should be easy to fetch & automate. is there any specific requirement to use it from OKTA ?
What directory server do you mean? We are using the Okta Universal Directory as our main user store. Users are provisioned there, and need to update their password there regularly. We now want to use an Automation to notify them of the password expiring soon, and want to display the date when the password expires.
Ok Now I get it. well you can use the GetUser API, It gives you the User Last Password changed Time in JSON format. I hope it helps.
Example response given below.

I couldn't find any reference to get the Last Password Changed Time from OKTA expression Language.
https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/okta-expression-language/
It is not mentioned that user profile has any function for fetching the Last Password changed time.
But If you want to automate, why to stick on a language, Write the Java API for automation.
We want to get rid of our on-prem systems entirely, wouldn't make much sense to spin up VMs just to do email sending.
However, it might be necessary to do it, the automation system of Okta leaves a lot to be desired at the moment.
Thank you for your help!
