User Login Notification
The User Login Notification ECA workflow sends a notification when a user logs into the site. This is useful for security monitoring, audit logging, or alerting administrators about user activity.
Overview
This workflow is triggered by the user login event and sends a notification (typically an email) to a configured recipient whenever a user successfully authenticates. The notification includes details about the user who logged in, such as their username and the time of login.
Workflow Structure

Conditions
Conditions can be configured to filter which login events trigger the notification. For example:
Only notify when users with the "Administrator" role log in.

Customization Examples
Notify Only for Admin Logins
Add a condition to the workflow that checks the logged-in user's role:
Condition: User has role
Role: Administrator
Negate: No
This ensures that notifications are only sent when administrator accounts log in.
Include IP Address in Notification
Modify the email action's body to include the user's IP address using available tokens, providing additional context for security monitoring.
