Automatically download and use CSV to create user
I am hoping to add OKTA users automatically after they are marked as hired in out Applicant Tracking System (ATS). The ATS can provide a CSV of all new hires at an interval we decide. Is there a built in method to automatically use the file to create new users, or would internal development be needed on my end?
I would like the end result to be- Person is hired in ATS. At a set interval that CSV is used to create OKTA users. Once in OKTA those users have accounts created in our other systems that are already part of the OKTA ecosystem (HRIS, Payroll, Benefits, etc)
Hi Drew,
First you need to define the Attribute mapping inside your OKTA user profile. so that it can understand the CSV file generated by the ATS system. Secondly, You can use the OKTA create user API's which will import the CSV file from a shared location automatically based on a scheduled time interval. To automate the process some Java/Python code is required.
Otherwise, OKTA Admin can manually upload the CSV file.
