# Login User Flow Behavior

## Overview

The Login User Flow Behavior allows the user to incorporate a process that triggers in Decisions based on a **User Login** **Event**. A User Login Event can be set to run whenever a user logs in to the Portal, and adds functionality around the login process.

**User Login Flow Restrictions**User Login flows currently do not support UI elements or navigate actions, thus, they cannot show a user anything nor can they send the user to a specific part of the portal.The following example will walk through creating a Flow that's triggered when a user logs in to the Decisions Portal. The Flow will show a popup notifying the user about the Login event.
