## Event Context

![Flow](./img/trigger-path.png)

Identity Attribute Changed events occur when any attributes aggegrated from an authoritative source differ from the current attributes for an identity during an identity refresh. See [Configuring Correlation](https://community.sailpoint.com/t5/Connectors/Configuring-Correlation/ta-p/74045) for more information.

This event trigger provides a flexible way to extend Joiner-Mover-Leaver processes. This provides more proactive governance and ensures users can quickly get necessary access when they enter your organization.

Some uses cases for this trigger include the following:

- Notify an administrator or system to take the appropriate provisioning actions as part of the Mover workflow.
- Notify a system to trigger another action, like triggering a certification campaign when an identity's manager changes, for example.

This is an example input from this trigger:

```json
{
  "identity": {
    "type": "IDENTITY",
    "id": "2c91808568c529c60168cca6f90c1313",
    "name": "William Wilson"
  },
  "changes": [
    {
      "attribute": "department",
      "oldValue": "sales",
      "newValue": "marketing"
    }
  ]
}
```
