Synchronizing attributes from Identity Provider through SAML SSO

Hi all.

We want to set up SSO to Salesforce via an external identity provider, and the authentication flow is clear.

However, we'd also like to do something else, which is synchronizing certain attributes in the Salesforce user record when they change in the Identity Provider (for example: when the Department of a user is changed, that to be synced to Salesforce on the next SSO).

Is that possible to do via SAML configuration? Is there some documentation on how to do it? I have found the Identity Connect option by the way, but it seems significantly more complex to set up than SSO via SAML.

Thanks in advance.
