Hi,

When a new user registers, is it possible to send the email address as a new record to a table in an external DB? We are looking to store these details in an AWS PostgreSQL DB…

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Fiorano

Hi @Senor_Fiorano,

Yes, this is possible. You should use a _post-registration action._ There is an example in this doc:

> **[Post User Registration Flow](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/actions/flows-and-triggers/post-user-registration-flow)**
>
> Learn about the Post User Registration Flow and post-user-registration Action trigger, which runs after a user has been created for a Database or Passwordless connection.
