Choose groups and watched categories on signup

[JammyDodger]

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 may be of some use:

@AlexDev

Some details about this API endpoint that are important to note:

• The API user should be an admin(so they should have global scope) to be able to change another user’s notification level.
• Endpoint URL: siteurl/t/<topic_id>/notifications
• Request type: POST
• Parameters:
  • username or external_id of the target user. If empty, the admin’s own notifcation level for the topic will be changed.
  • notification_level: integer value corresponding to the level
    • muted: 0,
    • regular: 1,
    • normal: 1, # alias for regular
    • tracking: 2,
    • watching: 3,

(Though if they’re added to a group automatically, you can also set the group default notifications for categories and tags and set them that way?)
