Integrate with Oracle Process Automation in Journeys

Integration with Oracle Process Automation (OPA) enables you to extend journeys and create Process Automation tasks for automating certain business processes in your organization.

When assigned, the task performer can initiate and track the status of the request in their journey or journey task. For example, asset request for a new hire.

Before You Start

  • Purchase OPA to use with Journeys. OPA is then automatically provisioned to your environments.
  • Configure Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
  • In OPA, configure and activate the process application you need to use.
  • For more information about OPA, see these resources on Oracle Help Center:
    • Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation guide
    • Oracle Process Automation guide

    • Go to the Checklist Integrations task and add a new integration.
