Run Rule once on first login

I did something like this by creating a specific role called 'verified user'. When the a user w/o verified user role logs in the rule takes effect. I was having trouble with endless path redirects so I had to just make a link to their profile page.

Then I have another rule that adds verified user role when specific profile field has some value.

I have used logintoboggan, too. But when I don't need all it's functionality I do something similar with a role to indicate state. During a login event have a rule that checks for an existing role (such as user_has_prev_logged_in). The role does not exist, then assign the user to that role, then redirect the user to the profile information page. The next time the user logs in, that role will exist and the rule will not be triggered to redirect them. I do the same thing sometimes to control a one-time "welcome" message on the screen.

Yes it is possible.
Please use the solution given here.

Don't know if someone still needs the answer.

An easy way to do so is to set the rule to fire on "user login" and add a condition on the field "last-login" checking that it's empty.

Hope it helps

All,

This is actually very simple in D7 using the Rules module. All you have to do is see if the value of the user's Last Access field is empty. When an account is created and the initial value of the Last Access is empty.

The value of this field is not set until sometime AFTER the rules have been run. So, all you have to do is setup a conditions in rules that check:

Data value is empty
site:current-user:last-access

Here is an export of my rule and it has been working fine. If anyone finds any issues, please let me know. You should be able to import this rule into your site.

{ "rules_first_time_login" : {
"LABEL" : "first time login",
"PLUGIN" : "reaction rule",
"WEIGHT" : "1",
"OWNER" : "rules",
"REQUIRES" : [ "rules" ],
"ON" : { "user_login" : [] },
"IF" : [
{ "data_is_empty" : { "data" : [ "site:current-user:last-access" ] } },
{ "user_has_role" : { "account" : [ "account" ], "roles" : { "value" : { "16" : "16" } } } }
],
"DO" : [
{ "drupal_message" : { "message" : "Welcome to Drupal Camp Florida. Please submit your session proposal below." } },
{ "redirect" : { "url" : "node\/add\/sess?destination=\/admin\/dashboard" } }
]
}
}

The role with a value of "16" is a role of "Speaker".
