About This Automation

Password reset and access requests arrive constantly through the helpdesk, requiring identity checks, approval confirmation, and manual changes across multiple systems.

An automated version reads incoming tickets, verifies identity and approval status, and applies the password reset or access change directly in the connected systems. The employee is notified and the ticket is closed without manual handling at each stage.

Key features
Verifies employee identity automatically against the company directory
Confirms manager approval status before any access change is made
Applies password resets or access changes across connected systems
Logs every change automatically for audit and compliance review
Notifies the employee once the request is complete
Closes the ticket without manual follow-up

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Access Ticket Detectedtrigger

A new password reset or access request ticket lands and starts the flow.

2. Verify Employee Identity

The automation cross-checks the requester against to confirm identity automatically.

3. Send Approval Request

The manager receives an approval request with one-click approve or deny buttons.

4. Reset Password Or Grant Access

Once approved, the automation resets the password or provisions the requested access directly.

5. Escalate To IT Manager

If the manager denies the request or does not respond, the ticket is escalated for manual review.

6. Update Audit Log

The completed action, approver, and timestamp are logged automatically to the audit sheet.

7. Notify Employee

The employee receives a message confirming access is restored or granted.

8. Close Ticket

The ticket is closed automatically once the employee confirms access.
