Connect a Login Flow to Profiles

After you create and activate a flow in Cloud Flow Designer, you designate it as a login flow and then associate it with profiles in your org. When users with an associated profile log in, they’re directed to this login flow.
Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

  1. From Setup, enter Login Flows in the Quick Find box, then select Login Flows.
  2. Click New.
  3. On the Login Flow Edit page, enter a name for the login flow.Login Flow Setup page
  4. Select the login flow from the dropdown list. The list contains flows created with the Cloud Flow Designer. Only active flows of type Flow are supported.
  5. Select a user license for the profile that you want to connect to the login flow. When selected, a dropdown list contains the profiles available for the selected license.
  6. From the dropdown list, select the profile to associate with the login flow.
  7. If you want the login flow to resemble the Lightning Experience UI, select Render Flow in Lightning Runtime. If you don’t select the option, the login flow resembles Salesforce Classic.

    A login flow is independent of which UI users use: Lightning Experience or Salesforce Classic. You can set a login flow to resemble Lightning Experience even if users log in to Salesforce Classic. Likewise, you can set a login flow to resemble Salesforce Classic even if users log in to Lightning Experience.
