Call Sailpoint IDN workflow from Event Trigger

[arjun_sengupta]

Hello Everyone,

Is it possible to trigger Sailpoint IDN workflows from Event triggers?
Example: We are looking to call a Sailpoint IDN workflow through the “Access Request Pre-Approval Event Subscription”
This is enable the customization to be done in IDN workflows instead of relying on a third-party system such as basic SOD checks, block access to terminated accounts, etc

Appreciate any help.

Regards
Arjun

Hi Arjun,

Workflows doesn’t yet have direct support for our request response type triggers, which includes the Access Request Preapproval trigger. Workflows only supports fire and forget triggers. I have been thinking about ways to do this using the existing capabilities of workflows, and I believe this is possible today. It will, however, require some additional setup that is not trivial. Let me draft a show and tell describing how to do this, and i’ll report back here once I have it.

Thank you Colin,

There is a way a workflow can call another workflow as mentioned by @chazeauc

Chained Workflows

**A really happy new year !!** Introduction We were recently tasked with solving a simple use case. As is often the case, the solution, though, was not. Statement The use case can be stated by this simple sentence : Out of a group of accesses (Roles or Access Profile), any identity is to only have one at any given time. Example In order to better understand, here is an example of what we want : Say we have the following group of Access Profiles : {AP1, AP2, AP3, AP4} Upon receiving…

May be we can leverage something similar to send back the response (Provided Event Trigger is ASYNC). I was not able to figure out how to call the workflow from the trigger directly.

It will be a great use case for many scenarios . Much appreciated.

As promised, here is my show and tell for configuring the “Access Request Submitted” trigger in Workflows.

Implementing A Request Response Type Trigger in Workflows

[DevCom-VideoTemplate - Copy_Marketplace-Gradient_Tutorials-Blue] At the time of this writing, SailPoint Workflows does not have native support for our request response type triggers, such as the Access Request Preapproval trigger. However, there is a way to implement request response triggers using the current capabilities of Workflows. This guide will demonstrate how to configure a Workflow that can successfully receive events from the Access Request Preapproval trigger as well as respon…
