Post-Registration, post-meta hook?

by

Is there a hook in WP to access meta data of a user JUST after they have registered and meta data has been added to the database?

I was reading to use profile_update, but wouldn’t that be invoked every time they update their profile? I just want something to occur the moment that they have registered, and the users meta has been entered in to the database.

Please let me know,

Thanks!

You can use user_register

add_action('user_register', 'wpse42506_user_register', 10, 3);
function wpse42506_user_register( $user_ID ) {
    // do stuff here
}

If you want to just use the user information, you can use get_userdata

If you need more control, you can initiate a new WP_User
