Log User Out With an Invalid Status

Need help
1

Hello! I am having an issue trying to display an alert and then log a user out based on a certain condition. I have a sign-in workflow that logs the current user in. Then, the User data type contains a user_status that can be either active or disabled. When the user_status of the user who just logged in is “disabled”, I want to display an alert message, reset the login inputs, and then log the user out. The problem is that no matter where I put the “Log The User Out” action in the workflow, even if I put all the other actions in a custom workflow prior to the “Log The User Out” action, only the “Log the User Out” action is executed and nothing else.

Am I missing something here? The documentation does not indicate that if I include a “Log the User Out” action, it will be the only one fired. Also, I am not convinved that custom workflows actually finish before other events, as I have never been able to prove this to be the case in any application I have worked on.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Have you tried creating a custom event and put the log out action in that. Then from the 1st workflow schedule the custom event for X seconds later. But also think if its a good idea, to me you would want to log them out as fast as possible

Well, ironically your idea worked. And, it actually worked with a delay of 0 seconds. But, when I used a “Trigger Custom Event” action it didn’t work. It only works when I used the “Schedule a Customer Event” action with a delay of 0 seconds. I’ll take the win! Thanks!

FYI, the Custom Even used has only one action… “Log the User Out”.
