Hello everyone, I didn’t find any documentation/information on how to call an Okta Workflow using an API call. Is that possible ? If yes, how and if you have any documentation i’ll take it for sure ! 🙂 What i want to do is simple : - I have an Okta Workflow that notify some users, from other application, that a user did some modification on his account. - I have an CIAM application, and want to start that workflows “manually” (by an API call for exemple). Thanks a lot, and have a nice day 🙂 ---

Take a look at these options for how to configure a flow to be exposed as an API endpoint: [API Endpoint | Okta](https://help.okta.com/wf/en-us/content/topics/workflows/function-reference/http/http_accept.htm) ---
