Does okta have a webhook event that can post a REST response to an endpoint every time a user successfully signs into an app?

Hello @YogeshD.21662 (Customer) ,
Check out the documentation here: https://developer.okta.com/docs/concepts/event-hooks/
It may not always be possible to detect when an application is successfully signed in to, as some logins may fail on the SP end and the error would be displayed from the SP and not from Okta.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Tim, I looked into the docs, however, didnt find an event that does what I am looking for. There is an event that triggers when a user logs into Okta but I am looking for the event that can trigger when a user logs into a specific App.
Thanks again,
Technically speaking, Okta cannot say with absolute certainty that a user has successfully signed into any app or not. Okta builds an assertion, hands it to the user's browser along with the URL where the SP consumes the assertion. That's where Okta's involvement ends. The user's browser connects to the SP's URL to submit the assertion and then it's up to the SP to sign the user in successfully (or not). But since neither the user nor the SP communicates that decision back to Okta, Okta can't say for sure that the login was successful. The event that Okta writes to the system log to indicate a successful app login simply means that Okta's side of the login process completed successfully.
