What is the meaning of the "Post is created" option?

When I check the “Post is created” option, the event of the user replying to the post will also be triggered. I understand that the user’s reply to the post belongs to the “Post is updated” event. What if I only want the event to be triggered when the post is first created and not when the user replies?

I think you want ‘topic is created’. A topic can consist of many posts, the first post and all its replies. When you edit a post the post is updated.

@Discourse

• Topic: A series of messages grouped together in a meaningful conversation with a title, listed in a category, beginning with an Original Post, and including all replies in chronological order. This is similar to what other platforms might call a “thread.”
• Post: An individual message within a topic. Each post can be authored by different users, moved to another topic, or become the start of a new topic.

Thank you for your reply. You are correct, I confused the concepts of topic and post.
