If a User Event webhook is activated, creating a topic or a post sends the user\_updated webhook. Tested on the latest Discourse.

Well I guess we are assuming that something like “last posted at” just changed and pushing that across.

That is a very odd interpretation of the meaning, I would expect only a user preference was updated. Possibly by the user only.

I’d also expect a webhook when badge & group memberships are changed.

This is how it used to work.

This would be very useful.

Hmm this is a regression then – who touched webhooks last @tgxworld?

Not me, Rails 5 touched it 😛
I’ll have a look

A user webhook is also being sent when a user logs in or out. Creating a user through SSO is sending 3 user webhooks. First a `user_created` one for the new user. Then `user_updated` for the same user, then `user_updated` for the discobot. This is tested on a live version of Discourse.

It looks like the behavior of the `user_updated` event was changed in
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/519b70ea4692834638e4b95c92b81a2160621681](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/519b70ea4692834638e4b95c92b81a2160621681)
which triggers as long as a column on the user is changed. @zogstrip Do we need all the columns to trigger the event? If not I’ll add a a filter that checks the columns which have changed against the `UserUpdated::OPTION_ATTR` constant.

I needed it for the group-tracker plugin

In that case I only need the `primary_group_id` so `UserUpdater::OPTION_ATTR` will have to be updated.
