Accounts

Available integrations

Currently, Sparx supports direct integration with Google Workspace, Microsoft Azure, and Okta SSO. For any accounts an admin connects from these services, we will use the APIs to get updates on when a user last logged in to these services.

Data types

Sparx tracks OAuth and SSO login events. OAuth events are where a third-party software uses just a token to gain access to a user, such as any service that allows you to "Sign in with Google". For companies that use an SSO, these SSO platforms track every log in event.

Data quality

For any SSO connections (Google, Okta, or Microsoft), we will be able to get the most up-to-date login events for your employees, making all of these usage statistics entirely accurate. For any OAuth events, such as "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Microsoft", the apps will get identified by our platform and shown to you. All log in events for Microsoft OAuth will be accurate. Google does not track login events for their OAuth, leading us to create the Sparx Chrome Extension.

Sparx Chrome Extension

You can see instructions on how to setup the chrome extension here.

Some details on our chrome extension:

1. Only business website login events are tracked (e.g. airtable.com login is registered, but not twitter.com)

2. All data is encrypted to ensure data safety for users

3. The only data collected for a login event is the email of the user, the base URL (e.g. airtable.com), and the timestamp of the login

This allows us to identify login events that would not be registered without the use of this extension. Electing to not proliferate this extension to your organization will result in inaccurate login data for Google OAuth apps.
