- Type – Select the type Modify or Offboarding
- Event – select any of the events options available (view events above)
- Active – activate or deactivate the Event workflow
- Pre-approved – When on the workflow does not need to be approved, when off the workflow (action after the user is moved to Group or Org unit) has to be approved again.
- The Workflow (Event workflow) must be approved by default, for the actual events (actions selected) to run, enable pre-approved to run the job without needing approval, disable pre-approval and the job itself must be approved again.
- Conditional flow – enable the Conditional flow option
When the details are filled in click on Next.
Event workflow – actions #
In the “Choose Actions” tab click on “Add action” and select any of the actions available
Depending on the Workflow type, different options will be available.
- Modify – modify actions will be available to be selected
- Offboarding – offboarding actions will be available to be selected
- Note: The last action of offboarding will delete the users
In this example:
“Enter action name” to search for any actions
- Groups > Add users to groups
- Folder, Shared Drive permission change > Add as “viewer” to Shared Drive
When ready with the actions click on Send approval request.
The Event workflow can be:
- Eye icon – view details for the workflow
- File icon – view the results of the Event workflow
- Pen icon – edit the actions before the workflow is approved
- X button – delete the Event workflow
Security officer #
NOTE: For Event and Recurring workflow – by default Security Officer must approve the request. The “pre-approved” (selected above) is for the Actions on the workflow to run without approval, the Event workflow itself must be approved.
When the request is sent an automatic email will be sent to the Security officers of your domain.
This will lead the Security Officer to the approval page – Flow > Event workflow.
Result #
When the Event workflow is approved.
- The workflow will be triggered when the event occurs
- In this case when a user is moved to Org. Unit (contractors)
- The actions selected will run automatically – every time the event occurs
The result can be seen in Flow > Event workflow > Results
It will lead to the Workflow tab, where all the workflows triggered by the selected Event workflow happen.
