Employee Authentication Node

The Employee Authentication node enables Active Directory-based employee authentication in flows. It presents a configurable login button (defaulted to "Employee") that initiates the authentication process.

Use Case

Use employee authentication node when you want to:

• Authenticate users using Active Directory credentials.
• Restrict access to certain parts of a flow based on employee status.
• Ensure secure access to sensitive information within a flow.

Don't use it when:

• You need to authenticate external users or customers.

UI Examples

TellUs

WebChat

Behavior

• Blocking: the node waits for the user to type and submit a response
• Produces output: creates multiple output properties based on user account details
• Renders: input field and auth button
• Supports validation: can be marked as required/optional
• Moves to the next node after user submission
