New Alerts in BetterCloud

We’ve released a new batch of Alerts across our connectors to expand your options for Alerting and policy automation. Use these Alerts to notify you of important events on your domain, or add them as Workflow conditions to create a policy.

Google

User’s Department Changes

One particularly valuable use for this Alert is in automating department moves through Workflows. For example, if a user is added to your Marketing department, you may want to add them to your shared marketing folder in Drive, add them to appropriate groups, and add them to your marketing Slack channel.

Okta

Empty Group

Identify empty groups, giving you the opportunity either to remove groups you’re no longer using, or better utilize unused groups you’ve already configured to assign applications in Okta.

Office 365 and Namely

New User

New user events in Office 365 and Namely were already available as Workflow conditions, but you can now configure true Alerts with custom conditions, in addition to further scoping Workflow triggers. For example, you might need to trigger an entirely different onboarding Workflow for users with email addresses containing your primary domain than those containing a subdomain.

Slack

Public Channel Created

Monitor new public channels, and quickly ensure that users are following your Slack conventions.

Salesforce

User’s Department Changes

If your domain assigns different permission sets based on Salesforce departments, set up Workflows to automatically assign these when a user’s department changes, and remove a manual step from your process.

Administrator Count Exceeds Threshold

In order to make sure you’re delegating least privileges and only giving out the level of access necessary, you can determine the number of users who should have full access to your Salesforce instance. Set a threshold, and be alerted when more users are added to the role.

Activity-Based Alerts

These new Activity-Based Alerts give you insight into file and folder creations and deletions for Google, Dropbox, and Box. For example, be alerted if a file in a crucial folder is deleted, or automatically share a file containing a keyword in its title with your security compliance team.
