How to use it

  • Choose this event only when its timing matches the step you need to automate.
  • Review the trigger data in the editor and pass only necessary values to later actions.
  • Test the workflow with a non-critical account or record before enabling it on a live site.

Security and privacy

Login-related events are not confirmation that authentication succeeded. Do not pass passwords, password-reset tokens, session secrets, or other credentials into messages or external services. Review the plugin’s payload handling and run-log storage before enabling login-related workflows on a production site.

Important note

WordPress hooks may run during a process rather than after it has completed. Confirm the firing point and available data in your environment before relying on this trigger for business-critical automation.
