Create a Login Flow with Flow Builder

Use the point-and-click Flow Builder to create a login flow declaratively. With this tool, you create a screen flow—a collection of screens and connectors that step users through a business process when they log in.
Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

User Permissions Needed
To open, edit, or create a flow in Flow Builder: Manage Flow

You can also use Visualforce to create a Visualforce Page login flow in code.

Note

Modify the default login flow to meet your needs. You can customize the login page by:

  • Supplying your own logo
  • Changing the colors of the background and login button
  • Displaying content on the right frame of the page

Follow these steps to build a login flow.

  1. Create a screen flow.

    Make sure that you save and activate the flow.

    Note

  2. From Setup, designate the flow as a login flow, and associate the flow with user profiles. See Set Up a Login Flow and Connect to Profiles.
