Manual Trigger with a variable

[Tim Bourguignon]

Hey there,

I'm trying to automate an offboarding process, but I'm not ready to trigger it automatically on archiving of the user accounts.

I'm searching for a way to trigger it manually with a variable (email address) that I would pass as a parameter.

What would be the best way to achieve this?

Thanks,

Tim

Following this tutorial https://xfanatical.com/blog/automate-g-suite-offboarding-workflow/ I created a testing OrgUnit where nobody will land by mistake.

So the question still stands but lost urgency.

Hello Tim, 

The Manual trigger does not support variables yet. 

To get the offboarding workflow automation triggered with the user's primary email, there are different trigger options.

• Data uploaded trigger. It accepts a CSV file with only 1 column, say User Email, and bulk processes offboarding workflow for each user in the CSV file. It's a recommended way if you want to offboard a number of users.
• Group member added trigger. When a user is moved to a group, trigger the offboarding workflow automation. The trigger will output the user's primary email address.
• User's organizational unit changed trigger. When a user is moved to another organizational unit, trigger the offboarding workflow automation.  The trigger will output the user's primary email address.
• User archived. When a user is archived,  trigger the offboarding workflow automation. The trigger will output the user's primary email address. However, this trigger is not recommended for the offboarding process, as many offboarding tasks require the Google user accounts to be active. 

Thank you.
