I have a problem with sending a personal message when the user deletes a topic for the first time.
Two weeks ago, this worked very well (a bit too well, thanks for fixing that). But now, no message is sent even for a newly created user.
I didn’t edit the automation, so I don’t think it’s related to the settings. In case it matters, `trust level` is `any`, my admin user is the PM sender, and the delay is 0. Of course, the automation is enabled. The plugin in general also works; the “add to group based on a custom user field” automation just ran, but the solution one does not.
Is it possible that the post just marked as a solution is taken into account in the check whether the user has already solved a topic and therefore every user has already solved a topic when the check is running in the automation?

Thanks for the report, I’ll be looking into this. 👌

Many thanks, @Moin. This has been fixed here: [FIX: Exclude the first solution itself when checking if an existing solution by nattsw · Pull Request #378 · discourse/discourse-solved · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved/pull/378)
