Let’s get started! bulb Tip: Zapier now has an [official Discourse integration](https://zapier.com/apps/discourse/integrations) with built-in triggers and actions (e.g. “New Post”, “Create Post”). For common use cases, this is simpler than configuring generic webhooks manually. The guide below covers the manual webhook approach, which gives you more flexibility and access to all Discourse event types. Zapier requires a trigger and an action. In this howto the trigger… 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-creation-notification/153176)._
