When a new user is created in discourse. Is there a unique ID given to it. If yes, how can I access this variable?

I need to be able to find the unique ID for example <%= current_user.id %> - <<<<<< I have just made this up I have no idea if it is correct. I am just trying to give an example of the variable I need.

I need it for intercom live chat so that I can use it to identify a user even if they change there email.

Please help! :pray::pray::pray: Thank you

Not sure where all areas it shows, but if you go to the admin panel β†’ users β†’ select the user, the URL will show the user ID for that specific user. e.g. domain.com/admin/users/1/username

You could do it the other way and set a custom field. With the external in. The used id is the user son load, i believe.
