Automatically provision, update and deprovision users in Sparkpost from JumpCloud using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, and user identity in JumpCloud for Sparkpost. Save time and avoid mistakes, as well as potential security risks, related to manually creating users.

- Search for the application and click to open its configuration panel.

Tip: Try using the New Users-only filter when selecting users to import. This will move all of your new users to the top of the list, making them easier to identify and select.
