Where can one find out about event webhooks and Zapier?

Have a look at this topic:

Trigger a Zapier task with Discourse Webhooks

[image] Want to use Discourse Webhooks to trigger a task via Zapier? Let’s get started! Zapier requires a trigger and an action. In this howto the trigger will be a Discourse Webhook and the action will be to send an email. Send an Email on any User event We will now set up a Zap to send email on any user event (i.e when a user is created, approved or updated). To trigger on a specific user event, see Trigger on a specific user event below. Create a Discourse Webhook Create a new Disco…

One possible issue with using the User Event webhook is that it fires for more events than user creation. For example, it is sent every time a user logs into the site. You will need to filter it on Zapier by checking to see if the X-Discourse-Event header has its value set to user_created. The “Trigger on a specific user event” section of the topic I linked to shows how to do that. The problem I’m seeing with doing this on Zapier is that it could get quite expensive processing User Event webhooks for events that you are not interested in. A webhook that only fires when a user is created or updated could be useful.
