Find out which fields changed during a profile update
I want to create this little flow that gives us a slack alert each time a user's profile in Okta is updated (by our HR system connection).
I got the "changed Attributes" list, but now I want to also display the new value of those attributes (but only those that changed). So I started a helper flow to iterate over the "changed attributes" list, but I can't find a way to just return the value of a specific profile field whose name I hand over to the helper flow.
So this basically is the slack message that I want:
"Profile for user XXXXX changed.
New values:
lastWorkingDay: XXXX
manager: XXXX
mobilePhone: XXXX
(Link to Profile in Okta admin interface)
"
Do you know how that's done?

There is a template that does the "basics" already available for Workflows: (Notify a user when their profile is updated)
https://help.okta.com/wf/en-us/Content/Topics/Workflows/templates/templates-list.htm
However, it doesn't include the new values. Obtaining the new values is actually a pretty tricky process where you would likely want to leverage a Reduce card which works sort of like a "For Each" but can return a finished value. I will see if I can get this idea working. If I can you could incorporate the idea into the Template above.
I've attached a Proof of Concept that fits your use case. It contains 2 flows.
