  1. Go to Spendflo, Users>SSO.

  2. Click on Add New connection button on the top right

  4. Keep this page open since we'll come back here again

Completing the SAML setting

  1. Paste the values copied from Spendflo on Okta in the following way:

    • ACS URL copied from Spendflo to Single sign-on URL in Okta

Set access permissions on Okta

  1. Go to the Application page in Okta and click on the gear icon on the app you just set up.

  4. In the claim domain section, add the domain you want to configure this SSO with. The domain using which the users of your organization will login to spendflo with.

  5. Copy the Record Name and Record Value to create a new TXT record in your DNS file.

  6. After you have added the domain, click on validate. The Validation will take 1-2 minutes

The new login method after the integration

Once the Okta integration is complete, the new way to log in to Spendflo would be to write your email address on the Spendflo sign-in page. The system will automatically detect your domain and will redirect you to Okta for authentication; once verified by Okta, you'll be logged in to your Spendflo profile.
