I’m integrating with the webhook, and when I receive a Post event, we have the post_type field. How can I find the type list? Do we have documentation about webhook events? In resume, I wondering to discover if the user made a comment, shared a post, or another related event.

[image] Lucas Souza: when I receive a Post event, we have the post_type field. How can I find the type list? Maybe this should be documented here: Configure webhooks that trigger on Discourse events to integrate with external services. You can get the post types from the rails console by running Post.types. That returns :regular=>1, :moderator_action=>2, :small_action=>3, :whisper=>4 [image] Lucas Souza: I wondering to discover if the user made a comment, shared a post, or another related event. Any regular post on the site will have its post_type field set to 1 (regular.) Post type 2 (moderator_actions) is for posts that are generated when moderators handle flags in the review queue. I think that’s the only time that post type is used. Post type 3 (small_actions) is for posts that are automatically generated when a topic is opened, closed, etc. Post type 4 is for whisper posts.

@Lucas_Alves … must be so frustrating to just get no instructions, but also to completely miss any doc about it. Like, at least, for me it is frustrating. Now, since I found your post here which was exactly what I was looking for, let me share how I detect if it is a “comment” (strictly speaking a POST that is a FOLLOW UP of any kind to the TOPIC) the post_type is 1 the post_number is greater than 1 the version is 1 If you want to specifically get only replies to a specific other coment you could use reply_to_post_number (if not empty, that is the post number of the post being replied to) I hope this helps, and I wish, Discourse would call this object property comment, not post, just like they call like for Like actions!

Got it.

Is there some way to know if the user created a post or just reply another post?
And do we have the event when the user shares a topic/post?
