Can you pass a user field value through a webhook?

[Ryan_H (Ryan Harris)]

I have a custom user field added to my setup, with the plugin to shoot that event off and enable the custom field in a webhook. Is there any way to pass the value of that custom field to my api?

I was wondering the same thing. More generally: what fields are part of the payload for user events, post events, and topic events respectively? Is the following list up to date? If so, the answer to the OP would be no and it would be great if at least custom user fields required at sign-up could be included in the payload (since they are obviously considered important by the admin).

@adrapereira

User

user_registered and user_activated

username, email, name, trust_level

trust_level_changed

username, old_trust_level, new_trust_level

message_sent

sender_username, receiver_username, msg_title, msg_content

Do we want the message content to be sent?

Another option is to define the required information of a user and use it whenever we’re referring to a user. For example, instead of sender_username we would have sender_info which has {ID, name, username, email, trust_level, …}.

Topic

Topic_created

ID, title, content, creator_username, categories

Topic_liked

ID, title, username, number_of_likes

Topic_{pinned,unpinned,archived,closed,invisibled,bookmarked}

ID, title, username

Post

Post_liked

post_ID, topic_ID, username, number_of_likes

Reply_posted

post_ID, topic_ID, username, content

Other

Auto_close_set

I don’t know what this one means…

Flag_raised

post_id, topic_id, reason

UserSerializer returns the whitelisted user custom fields. So the WebHookUserSerializer which inheriting it also should return those fields.

[tophee (Christoph)]

Excuse my ignorance, but could you rephrase that? What is the WebHookUserSerializer?

What I’d like to do is use a webhook to externally log every user creation, including all custom user fields entered upon signup… (ideally including the IP, but that’s probably a different issue)

Sorry, maybe my last post is so technical for normal users to understand.

What I really mean is custom user fields which whitelisted via site settings public user custom fields and staff user custom fields are already available in the user web hooks.
