Is there a way to only log the user in with Facebook (or Google) if they are already a user? I suspect that I may be overcomplicating things for myself so I should probably give some background. My app has two types of user - parents and children. Only parents can sign up. So they sign themselves u…

Did you try checking the box that returns the user thing if the account already exists? That’s what I use to check if the user is already registered. [image]

Hi @john3 , thanks - I was about to say that this doesn’t apply in my case, but can you tell me more please about your workflow? In the first step of the workflow in your screenshot, you have signup/login with Facebook action - this immediately adds the Facebook user to your database, right? Then the…

You should add conditionals to the rest of your signup flow that will stop it from running at login if they are not already registered and add more steps to the flow to define what happens next.

Just run a check to see if the profile fields you require have been filled out for the current user. If they haven’t redirect them to a form to fill out the info. So if a user logs in for the first time with Facebook, they will be redirected to a form that gets the information you seek, and then ad…

You could also add the check on the members area page. If you are doing it as a single page app then it’s a bit different but same logic.

@marcusjamesreed , @john3 , thanks. I guess I was hoping there was another built-in way. @john3 , the return user checkbox you mentioned is interesting, but I found something odd with it, or perhaps it’s just me not understanding what it is meant to do. Like the field level in your screenshot, I have …

Yes I think you’re misunderstanding it - the checkbox only lets you know that the user exists - you have to do something with it. It says it returns the user thing if the account already exists. It’s prudent to assume that in bubble the workflow logic is not set unless you specify it. So you need to…

Thanks @john3 , I was going by the documentation, which implies that the checkbox returns the existing user so you can refer to them in subsequent workflow steps. I take your point though, it all has to be explicitly implemented. I will work through it.

Hey John, I’m also trying to implement a LinkedIn login/signup but I can’t prevent the system from trying to create a new account every time. In my mind, I think the workflow that I have tries to log the user in, if the account exists - it returns the User then I pass that to the portal page. Wha…

They signup/login with Facebook and you redirect them to a user area only if their age is verified.
