MatthewH.10249 (State of Iowa) asked a question.
Do Okta Workflow Trigger Cards Impact API Rate Limits?
I want to know if cards like Okta's "User Added to Group", "User Removed From Group" and "User Okta Profile Updated". These are found in the Okta "Connected Apps" that are events used to start a Flow.

Hi Matthew,
Thank you for posting in our Community Portal!
They should not impact any API Rate Limits, Okta Workflows has built-in Rate Limiters.
I will also attach an article for reference:
Okta Workflows | Okta
If you have any other questions or run into any issues, feel free to open a case with us and we will gladly help!
Have a great weekend ahead!
Best regards,
To expand on the previous answer:
The specific "Event" cards you are referring to are Event Hooks. Essentially when you setup one of those specific cards a "Hidden" Event Hook is created in the background for those specific events and linked to the card.
From the Okta documentation on Event Hooks:
https://developer.okta.com/docs/concepts/event-hooks/#security
*Event Hooks are limited to sending 100,000 events per 24-hour period
If I have 20 parent Workflows that each are triggered by their own "Added To Group" "Event" card, are we incurring 20x usage everytime someone is added to any group? If so, should we create one generic master parent Worflow with an "Event" card and have "If" logic in that Workflow to determine what group was impacted then make async calls one or more of the 20 Workflows which would now be child Workflows? Not ideal but if it saves us from limits it would be worth it.
