Erlaube Auslösen der Automatisierung "nach Benutzeraktualisierung" ohne benutzerdefiniertes Feld

[tobiaseigen]

Currently, if you want to be notified of user signups in a topic or PM using automation, you have to create a custom user field and use that as the trigger. It would be helpful to change this so account creation/activation triggers the automation, so you don’t have to create a custom user field.

I wonder if I can configure a webhook for example that emails me every time someone creates a new member on my forum?

Automation is a good idea! I just tested this and you can actually use an existing automation, if you’re willing to create a user custom field and require your users to complete it at signup.

Steps that worked for me:

1. create a custom user field and make it required
2. create a topic in your Staff category
3. create a new automation
4. choose “Create a post” script
5. choose “After user update” trigger
6. choose your custom field
7. select “once per user”
8. select “new users only”
9. specify system as the creator
10. specify the topic ID of your topic (the number that appears in the URL)
11. write the content you like, including the variable e.g. “{{updated_user_username}} signed up!”
12. sign up a new test user to test

But a change to the trigger so you could have ‘user created/activated’ for this and not need a superfluous custom field would be

Hi, could you please tell how to find “After User Update” in Automation Plugin?
I checked all functions under Automation, didn’t see “After User Update”
