If you have control over your system, then you might use a Discourse web hook to notify your system that the user is activated. But I’m pretty sure that the easy solution is You can check the `active` field in the user record. I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t get set until they’ve validated their email address.

`http://localhost:3000/admin/users/1/jay.json` will give you a record like:

```json
{
id: 1,
username: "jay",
name: "Jay User",
avatar_template: "/user_avatar/localhost/jay/{size}/3_2.png",
email: "jay@nowehre.invalid",
secondary_emails: [],
active: true,
admin: true,
moderator: false,
last_seen_at: "2020-11-04T20:13:04.240Z",
last_emailed_at: null,
created_at: "2020-10-05T21:14:52.570Z",
last_seen_age: 27.86773951,
last_emailed_age: null,
created_at_age: 2588319.53785305,
trust_level: 1,
.....
},

```
