    Article Summary

    The content explains how to integrate Okta with Dialpad for single sign-on (SSO) access. The process involves configuring both Okta and Dialpad settings. In Step 1, the Dialpad application is added to Okta's App Catalog. In Step 2, the Dialpad service provider attributes are configured in Okta, including authentication and SAML settings. In Step 3, the Okta identity provider attributes are configured in Dialpad by following the setup instructions provided by Okta. Finally, in Step 4, users can log in to Dialpad using their Okta credentials. They simply select "Login with another provider" and enter their company domain and Okta credentials.

    Rather than signing into Dialpad with your Google or Microsoft productivity suite, our Okta integration allows your team to access Dialpad via Okta's single sign-on option (SSO) via SAML.

    Let's dive into the details.

    Okta integrations are available to all Users on all Dialpad Ai Voice, Contact Center, and Ai Sales 

    To get started, you'll need to access certain URLs and IDs from Okta + Dialpad.
