I know there can be custom user fields, but is there any way of sorting out group requests and category watching from the signup form? (Either the normal Discourse signup form, or using a plugin, or separately using the API?) Thanks.

I guess there might be two possibilities. A Discourse plugin that changes the sign up process. A separate script that uses the Discourse API to sign up and simultaneously make a group request and/or watch certain categories. I’m pretty sure it’s not possible using the standard settings. Am…

I’m not sure what you mean by “sorting out” but this might be the droid you’re looking for :grin: Discourse-automation even if sign-up is not in the Available triggers list… but I guess maybe sign-up is also user added to group TL0 ?

The Custom Wizard Plugin looks promising. I’ll have time to try it out next month! It looks like a wizard could be triggered straight after the user signs up, allowing notification levels to be set per category. The plugin also allows a user to be added to a group. I’m not entirely sure how Discou…

Your welcome. If you figure out a template for first time set Up for users to pick categories let me know haven’t had much time to dig deep.

[תמונה] Jonathan5: Would the Automation plugin be able to set watch status per category based on custom fields too? I don’t believe this is currently possible using Automation. However, I think we do have a new API endpoint that can now allow an admin to set a user’s notification level, which…

[תמונה] Jonathan5: (I’d like to have prospective users, on the signup page, be able to tick certain categories to decide which to “watch”.) That’s an interesting use case. You can use the “Add user to group through User Custom Field” automation script, and then set up the “Category default n…

Thank you. I will look into that. It does have the disadvantage of potential confusion when people change their notification settings but remain in the original group.

Thanks again. I’m not too keen on using that because I think the answer to this question is still No:
