Example

Simple login journey

a The Username Collector node node prompts the user to enter their username.

b The Password Collector node node prompts the user to enter their password.

c The Data Store Decision node locates the user in the backend identity store and determines if the credentials are correct:

  • If the credentials are correct, the journey follows the succcess outcome and the user is authenticated.

  • If the credentials aren’t correct, the node directs the user to the Retry Limit Decision node.

d The Retry Limit Decision node determines how many times the user has attempted these credentials:

  • If the number of attempts doesn’t exceed the maximum, the user is redirected to the Username Collector node to attempt their credentials again.

  • If the number of attempts exceeds the maximum, the journey follows the failure outcome.
