Which webhook fires when a reply is accepted?

[deleted] 2 months ago Resolved

I want to notify an external system whenever a reply is accepted as the answer in a Q&A space. I see post and reply created events — is there a dedicated accepted-answer webhook, or do I listen for an update?

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

[deleted] OP

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

Go to your profile, then Edit, and scroll to the relevant section. The option you are looking for is there. If the section is hidden, confirm you are on a recent version — some controls were added in 1.4.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

[deleted] OP

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.
