STEP 1
Select LDAP in workflow
Pick LDAP app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
LDAP Integration
Search and manage a directory over LDAP: Active Directory, OpenLDAP and other LDAP servers. Search people and groups, add, change, rename and delete entries, and check an attribute. Use LDAP inside visual workflows on WEXTL to compose logic that vendor integrations alone cannot cover. Pair it with app triggers and actions on the canvas to build end-to-end automations.

Supported triggers and actions for LDAP integration
Triggers can detect changes in LDAP and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside LDAP automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- Search entriesFind entries in a directory with a simple condition builder or an LDAP filter.
- Add an entryCreate a new entry with its attributes.
- Compare an attributeCheck whether an entry has a given value for an attribute, without reading the entry.
- Delete an entryDelete an entry that has no children.
- Modify an entryAdd, replace or remove attribute values on an entry.
- Rename an entryChange the name of an entry, or move it under another parent.
How to integrate LDAP in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your LDAP connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect LDAP
When prompted, authorize access to LDAP in WEXTL once. LDAP credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
LDAP Access Approval
WEXTL wants to integrate with your LDAP account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with LDAP yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect LDAP to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.
LDAP
Connect LDAP to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with LDAP below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with LDAP. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with LDAP integration
Select Search entries action from LDAP - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in LDAP, workflow will start [7] from Search entries node.
Search for Add an entry, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Search entries and Add an entry, so only important data pass from Search entries to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of LDAP automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
LDAP on WEXTL has 6 modules for building built-in automations. Explore LDAP documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating LDAP in your workflows.
LDAP is a built-in WEXTL workflow node. In practice, search and manage a directory over LDAP: Active Directory, OpenLDAP and other LDAP servers. Search people and groups, add, change, rename and delete entries, and check an attribute. Configure the node's settings panel to control how it behaves inside your automation.
Drop LDAP onto the visual canvas alongside app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes. Connect it to the steps before and after, configure its parameters, and it runs as part of the automation every time the workflow executes.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. WEXTL authenticates every connection per account, encrypts credentials at rest, and lets you enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation that uses LDAP.
LDAP runs alongside app integrations on the same workflow canvas. It receives data from upstream steps (triggers or other nodes) and passes results to downstream steps. Refer to our LDAP Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
Absolutely. LDAP works with every trigger source and every app integration on WEXTL. Combine it with native app triggers, scheduled polling, or the Custom Webhook node so LDAP can react to events from any external system.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes like LDAP inside the workflow builder [4]. You can combine LDAP with app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) to build the exact flow you need.
