How do I use expression language to map okta user account create date to salesforce hire date.
Trying to setup auto provisioning and we have Hire Date (YYYY-MM-DD) as mandate field in Salesforce. Can I use an expression in okta mapping to use okta user account create date for this value?

Hi @DanielS.06873 (Customer) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
This is not supported out-of-the-box. The Okta Expression Language typically leverages the users profile attributes and while you can get the Okta User creation date by running an API call, the property is not listed as a Profile attribute.
Example below:
That being said, more complex options might be available.
If it's an option you are willing to consider, you can create a custom attribute
in Okta and populate the value manually or via various methods like external Profile source like a HR solution, then map it to the hire date in Salesforce.
Workflows might also be a valid option. Here is a tutorial video , although it's not your exact use case, it can give you a feel for what it might imply.
If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
Hope my answer helps!
