Answer 1

You can try customer_save_after, the only thing that the registration sends this event twice

Answer 2

You can use the customer_register_success event. It is triggered after the customer is succesfully created. Here is the link of event cheat sheets. Hope it also helps you.

Answer 3

The answer to this question is that there isn't an event for that.

Answer 4

customer_save_after is the event which gets called after a new customer registration.

Read about all the events here:

Answer 5

I discovered how to achieve this today. It involves using one of the generic controller events. This node in the config.xml will hook into the right event:

<events>
 ....
  <controller_action_postdispatch_customer_account_createPost>
    <observers>
     <your_module_here>...etc

The controller_action_postdispatch_REQUESTPATH event is thrown for every controller that extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action (which is basically all of them) which makes it very easy to target. Ditto for controller_action_predispatch_REQUESTPATH.

Answer 6

customer_register_success is the event dispatched after successful customer registration.
Here's from the code from Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php::454 in magento 1.8:

protected function _dispatchRegisterSuccess($customer)
{
    Mage::dispatchEvent('customer_register_success',
        array('account_controller' => $this, 'customer' => $customer)
    );
}
