I’m using webhooks to process new users [via zapier](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-webhooks-and-zapier/56753), and lately it’s being triggered too often.

The option we have in the admin is `When a user is created, approved or updated.`

I thought that the email would only be sent on [new user creation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/should-the-email-address-of-a-new-user-be-included-in-the-webhook/59255). but we’re getting it even if the user had a badge awarded, joined a group, etc.

So the question is.. what’s the best way to identify when the webhook is related to a new user, vs a user being updated?

Thanks!
