Hi Discourse Team & Community,

I’m looking for a way to **automatically mute a category when a user leaves a group**.

## **🚀 What I Want to Achieve**

- When a user **joins a group** , they **track** the group’s related category (this works via `Group Category Notification Default`). **[✅ I already did it with `Custom Wizard` plugin]**
- When a user **leaves a group** , their related category should be **muted automatically** , so they stop receiving notifications and email digests.
- Ideally, this should be **fully automated without manual intervention**.

## **❓ My Questions**

1️⃣ **Is there a built-in way** (without coding or API calls) to mute a category when a user leaves a group?  
2️⃣ **Would it be possible to add “User Leaves Group” as a trigger** in the Discourse Automations Plugin?  
3️⃣ **Any workarounds** that don’t require manual admin intervention?

I’d love to hear how others have handled this scenario or if there’s any **feature request in progress** to add this capability.

Thanks in advance! 🙌
