Slack-Okta-Integration

Purpose

This automation script is to sync our users between two platforms (i.e. Slack and Okta) by consuming thier REST API.

Scenario

When someone new joins our slack channel we would like them to be also added into Okta to get access to our hashicorp vault and other platforms.

Testing locally

Prerequisite

To perform test on individual services files to see what response we expect from the API. You can run the following command

1. pnpm install
2. For requesting users from Slack

pnpm run fetchSlackUsers

3. For requesting users from Okta

pnpm run fetchOktaUsers

Since ts-node is giving out too much of issue 1, 2 while trying to run it, we will be using tsx.

Okta API

We need to consume 3 API's from okta to achieve our goals.

1. List all users https://developer.okta.com/docs/api/openapi/okta-management/management/tag/User/#tag/User/operation/listUsers

2. Create a user https://developer.okta.com/docs/api/openapi/okta-management/management/tag/User/#tag/User/operation/createUser

3. Delete a user https://developer.okta.com/docs/api/openapi/okta-management/management/tag/User/#tag/User/operation/deleteUser

Slack API

Consume API users.list

• Since slack does not provide with only active users list, we have to filter out the result (bot users, deactived/deleted users)
