Creating a Conditional Workflow for Onboarding with GAT Flow

GAT Flow is a user management tool for Google Workspace domains. The Admins can create different types of workflows to Onboard, Offboard, or Modify the users in the domain.

The Conditional flow allows the Admins to create any workflow that will be executed based on different conditions.

Furthermore, those conditions can be combined to create the workflow you need.

Alternatively, the Conditions can be used in Event and Recurring workflows

Fill in the details:

• Next – click to proceed
