How to automate Gladly user provisioning, and what it actually costs

Summary and recommendation

Gladly, the customer service platform, does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Gladly offers SAML 2.0 SSO integration with enterprise identity providers like Okta and Azure AD, this only handles authentication—users must still be manually created in Gladly's admin panel before they can sign in via SSO. Even on Enterprise plans with custom pricing, there's no automated user lifecycle management, meaning IT teams must manually provision and deprovision every customer service agent.

This creates a significant operational burden for contact centers, where staff turnover rates are notoriously high and seasonal scaling is common. Without automated provisioning, IT teams face delays onboarding new agents during peak seasons, and security risks from lingering accounts when agents leave. The manual process becomes particularly problematic for organizations running large support teams or multiple contact centers, where dozens of agents may need to be onboarded weekly.

The strategic alternative

Stitchflow provides SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation for Gladly without requiring any custom development work. Works with any Gladly plan and integrates with your existing IdP (Okta, Entra, Google Workspace, OneLogin). Flat pricing under $5K/year, regardless of team size.

The cost of not automating

Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Gladly accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

The Gladly pricing problem

Gladly gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

What this means in practice

Contact centers face unique provisioning challenges that Gladly's manual approach can't handle:

Seasonal scaling delays: Many support teams need to rapidly scale during peak seasons (holiday shopping, tax season, back-to-school). Without SCIM, IT must manually create accounts for dozens of temporary agents, creating bottlenecks when speed matters most.

Turnover management overhead: Customer service has notoriously high turnover rates. Every departing agent requires manual account deactivation, and every new hire requires manual setup - multiplying IT workload during already stressful transitions.

Security gap during transitions: The manual process creates windows where departing agents retain access while IT catches up on deprovisioning, or new agents can't access systems while waiting for manual account creation.

Additional constraints

No JIT provisioning
Even with SSO enabled, users must be pre-created in Gladly before they can authenticate
Support dependency for SSO
SSO configuration requires contacting Gladly support - no self-service setup
Not in Okta OIN
Must be configured as custom SAML application, adding setup complexity
Role mapping complexity
Gladly's pricing varies by role type (Analyst vs Support users), but role assignment must be done manually during account creation

Summary of challenges

  • Gladly does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
  • Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
  • Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually

What Gladly actually offers for identity

SAML SSO (Enterprise plan required)

Gladly supports basic SAML 2.0 integration but requires manual setup through their support team:

SettingDetails
ProtocolSAML 2.0
Supported IdPsOkta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, generic SAML
ConfigurationContact support to enable SSO
User requirementManual account creation required before SSO login

Critical limitation: Even with SSO enabled, every user must be manually created in Gladly Hero > Settings > Users. There's no Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning or automated account creation.

No SCIM provisioning

Gladly has zero native SCIM support across all plans:

Why this matters for contact centers

Customer service teams face unique provisioning challenges:

High turnover rates mean frequent onboarding/offboarding
Seasonal scaling requires rapid provisioning of temporary agents
Security risks from delayed deprovisioning when agents leave

Gladly's manual-only approach creates operational bottlenecks precisely when contact centers need speed and automation most. IT teams must individually create, update, and remove each agent account, turning what should be automated workflows into time-consuming manual tasks.

What IT admins are saying

Community sentiment on Gladly's provisioning capabilities reflects frustration with manual processes in a high-turnover industry:

  • No automated user provisioning despite being an enterprise customer service platform
  • Manual onboarding and offboarding of contact center agents creates delays
  • SSO setup requires contacting support rather than self-service configuration
  • Seasonal scaling of support teams becomes a manual nightmare for IT

Feedback on implementation process

The recurring theme

For customer service teams with high agent turnover and seasonal scaling needs, Gladly's manual provisioning creates operational bottlenecks exactly when speed matters most—during hiring spikes and departures.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
Small customer service team (<20 agents)Manual management acceptable if turnover is low
Stable support team with minimal hiringManual provisioning with SAML SSO for security
High-volume contact center (50+ agents)Use Stitchflow: agent turnover makes automation essential
Seasonal customer service scalingUse Stitchflow: rapid onboarding/offboarding critical
Enterprise with compliance requirementsUse Stitchflow: audit trails and deprovisioning controls required

The bottom line

Gladly delivers excellent customer service capabilities but completely lacks automated provisioning despite being designed for enterprise contact centers. With high agent turnover and seasonal scaling needs common in customer service, manual user management creates operational bottlenecks and security risks. Stitchflow eliminates these pain points with fully automated provisioning that scales with your support team demands.

Visual CMS / Headless CMS

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Builder.io, the visual CMS platform used by developers and content teams, does not offer SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Builder.io provides SAML 2.0 SSO integration on their Enterprise tier with identity providers like Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace, this only handles authentication—not the automated provisioning and deprovisioning of user accounts. IT teams must manually create and manage user accounts in Builder.io, then separately assign appropriate permissions for different Spaces and projects. This creates a significant operational gap for organizations using Builder.io across multiple content teams. Without SCIM, departing employees retain access to Builder.io Spaces until manually removed, creating security risks around content management systems that often contain sensitive marketing materials and website code. The manual overhead becomes particularly problematic when managing access across multiple Builder.io Spaces, each requiring individual permission management for developers, marketers, and content editors.

Employee Engagement / People Analytics

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Culture Amp, the employee engagement and people analytics platform, explicitly does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. This is an intentional design decision - Culture Amp separates authentication (handled via SAML SSO) from employee data management (handled via HRIS integrations). While this approach works for their core HR use case, it creates a significant gap for IT teams managing user lifecycle across multiple SaaS applications through their identity provider. The lack of SCIM support means IT admins cannot automate user provisioning, deprovisioning, or attribute updates through standard identity governance workflows. Since Culture Amp contains sensitive employee feedback data and organizational hierarchy information that affects survey visibility, manual user management creates both security risks and operational overhead. Organizations are forced to rely on separate HRIS integrations or manual processes, breaking the unified provisioning model that most enterprises expect from their SaaS stack.

Marketing Automation

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Iterable, the marketing automation platform, does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Iterable offers SAML 2.0 SSO with just-in-time (JIT) provisioning that can create user accounts on first login, this creates a one-way flow that leaves IT teams without automated deprovisioning capabilities. Users who lose access in your identity provider won't be automatically removed from Iterable, requiring manual intervention to verify account status and revoke access within the platform itself. This creates a significant security gap for marketing teams using Iterable. When employees leave or change roles, their Iterable accounts remain active even after IdP access is revoked, potentially allowing continued access to customer data, campaign insights, and marketing automation workflows. For compliance-conscious organizations, this manual deprovisioning requirement creates audit trail gaps and increases the risk of data exposure from dormant accounts.
