HRIS Intros Not Supported
Donut's HRIS Intros feature, which automatically imports data based on your HRIS groups for Cross-Group and Within-Group Intros, is not compatible with Okta or Entra. With these systems, you'll need to set groups manually.
Celebrations Limitations
Okta and Entra provide less people data via Merge's API than other HRIS systems supported by Donut. Some details like start dates and birthdays may be unavailable.
This means you'll need to manually enter the data that Donut can't pull from your HRIS.

Here is a more granular overview of what Celebrations dates can be automatically imported via an HRIS integration with Okta or Entra:
Okta: What Donut Can Import
By default, Okta does not provide the following data natively through our integration:
Birthdays 🚫
Start Dates 🚫
Manager 🚫
Team/Department 🚫
However, if your organization tracks this information in custom fields in Okta, Donut can help import it and set up automatic syncing.
✅ How to import this data into Donut:
Ensure that birthdays, start dates, manager, team/department, and/or other employee data are stored in Okta as custom fields.
If they are not already being tracked, your team will need to manually add and maintain these fields in Okta.
For birthdays and start dates, make sure they are formatted as
yyyy-mm-ddto ensure compatibility.Once these fields are set up, contact our support team to configure the automatic sync and ensure Donut pulls the correct data.
