Hi, Is it possible to automatically welcome a new user when he makes his first post (when the system uses` js.post.notice.new_user`) with a post on the same topic? ---

Yes this feature already exists, as you can see in your own post. Works for long absent members as well as first posts by new signups. (This is only visible to established community members.) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/1/31ac65c74bf2e76ef98f1ac1734ed9b32450f94c.jpeg) ---

I think what @j_assuncao means is something visible **to the new user** once they make their first post. Granted, other users can send a welcome reply to the user, but what Jorge is asking if the system can “welcome” the user when they’ve created their first post. ---

Yes, that’s exactly it. I would like an automated post welcoming the new user after his first post. ---

This will require a custom plugin or some web hook integration, no feature like this exists at the moment. ---

Thank you for your reply @sam. How can this be made via web hooks? ---

You would need to write and deploy a web service that listens for the hook and then interacts with the user via the API. ---
