With Firebase Authentication triggers you can only trigger a Cloud Function in response to the **creation** and **deletion** of a Firebase user account. See https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/auth-events — Renaud Tarnec, Jul 29 '19 at 15:22

There are no Cloud Functions triggers for when a user signs in to your app with Firebase Authentication. If you have something to do what the user signs in, that should be controlled by the app itself, since it has the callback for signin and signout. You could directly invoke an HTTP or callable type function in that case, and pass the function the UID to look up using the Firebase Admin SDK.
