This story automates the full lifecycle of a new user access request — from a self-service form submission, through a Slack-based approval, all the way to account creation in Okta or Office 365. No manual handoffs, no chasing approvals.


What you'll see:

  • Submit a new account request through a self-service Tines Page, choosing between Okta or Office 365
  • Get routed to a second Page to capture a phone number for the new account
  • Send an automatic approval request to a Slack channel for the system owner to review
  • Branch the flow based on the response — approved or denied
  • Generate a secure password automatically upon approval
  • Provision the new user account directly in Okta or Microsoft Entra ID (Office 365)
  • Open a Jira ticket to track the provisioning task
  • Email the new user their credentials and notify the telephony team to complete their setup
  • Email the requester if the request is not approved — keeping everyone informed automatically

Perfect for:

  • IT operations teams: handling a high volume of new starter access requests that currently require manual back-and-forth with system owners
  • IT service desk teams: replacing email-based approval chains for Okta or Office 365 account creation
  • IT managers and system owners: who need a governed, auditable process for approving access requests without being pulled into manual provisioning tasks

Requirements:

  • Okta — API credential for your Okta domain
  • Microsoft Graph — OAuth credential for creating users in Microsoft Entra ID (Office 365)
  • Slack — Slackbot API credential to send approval requests to a channel
  • Jira — API key, domain, project key, and service account username
  • Resources configured for: company_email_domainokta_domainslack_channeljira_domainjira_key, and jira_username
