Hello,
I'm creating a plugin that listens to OnUserSave event. I need to know if it is a new user event or an update user. Does the code below would work:

 $eventName = $modx->event->name;
     $mode = $modx->event->mode;
     switch($eventName) {
       case 'OnUserSave':
         // New user created
         if ($mode == modSystemEvent::MODE_NEW) {
  
         } else if ($mode == modSystemEvent::MODE_UPD) {

         }
       break;

Thanks for your help

It should work but, it could be a little simpler. $mode is already set for you by MODX, and since there are only two possibilities for $mode, the "else if" can just be an "else". Also, if the plugin is only connected to one event, you don't need to get the event name in the plugin, and if you're not doing anything when updating a user, you can skip the "else" altogether:

<?php
        if ($mode == modSystemEvent::MODE_NEW) {
             /* new user created *./
            /* do something */
  
        } else  {
             /* Updating existing user */
            /* do something else */ 
        }
