Okta Connectors APIs

Questions
1

I am trying to integrate okta connectos to my web app.

My goal is to allow a user to use my okta application to create connectors (such as Github) and use them to view their data on my website directly by using the Okta-provided APIs. After going through the documents, I was able to find:
https://help.okta.com/wf/en-us/content/topics/workflows/connector-reference/github/github.htm

Here by reading I understood that this has to be done throught the okta admin portal.

Please provide me some guide to do this.

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi there @theaplhadev01,

Welcome to the community!

Workflow capabilities are available to test through a trial account.

This tutorial provides instructions on how to start working with workflows, starting with setting up an Okta account, although it is not specific to workflow connectors.

There is an Okta Workflow community you may be interested in joining, including office hours and a Slack community. Please check out the resources section at the end of the tutorial.

I don’t want to create a workflow. I want the user on my website to be able to connect to various connectors provided by Okta.

The end goal is for my users to be able to use the connectors to connect their accounts and use the apis of those connectors to interact with them.

E.g.

If they connect their github account, they can view their repos and commits on our website directly using the Okta Github connector.

The link you referenced in your original post is related to Workflows, where Okta is able to make requests to third party services based on Connectors that were built especially for Workflows. These connectors still require that the admin that configures the workflow to authenticate the connector themselves.

From your use case, I don’t actually see how Okta factors into this beyond there being an Okta Application that users access. Sounds to me like your integration would need to be directly integrated to connect to Github.
