Generating a unique email/userid

Generating a unique email/userid

source: BambooHR
destination: OKTA/EntraID

Has anyone setup a workflow to add a new user (John Smith) to OKTA when there may already be a John.Smith@company.com userid/email present in the system and then to cycle through and maybe create a John.Smith2@company.com or John.Smith3@company.com etc...

Thanks so much

Eric

Hi,

I have not done that, but shouldn't be too hard. You would need a step to create the username (possibly a variable) and the next step would check if the username is in use. If so, the IF branch can then update the variable (e.g. with a +1). Depending on the volume, it might make more sense to store a table or csv of values.
