Which webhook fires when a reply is accepted?

JA Jamal Reed 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?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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