Is there an event for customer account registration in Magento?

Question

I would like to be able to run some functionality with a module that I am building whenever a customer registers an account, but I can't seem to find any event that is fired upon a new customer registration.

Does anybody know of an event that is dispatched for that?

Answer 1

Whenever I'm looking for an event, I'll temporarily edit the Mage.php file to output all the events for a particular request.

File: app/Mage.php
public static function dispatchEvent($name, array $data = array())
{
    Mage::log('Event: ' . $name); //not using Mage::log, as 
    //file_put_contents('/tmp/test.log','Dispatching '. $name. "\n",FILE_APPEND); //poor man's log
    Varien_Profiler::start('DISPATCH EVENT:'.$name);
    $result = self::app()->dispatchEvent($name, $data);
    #$result = self::registry('events')->dispatch($name, $data);
    Varien_Profiler::stop('DISPATCH EVENT:'.$name);
    return $result;
}

and then perform whatever action it is I'm trying to hook into. Magento events are logically named, so scanning/sorting through the resulting logs usually reveals what I'm after.
