Contao Summit 2026 in Leipzig 15th and 16th October

closeAccount

The closeAccount hook is triggered when a user closes their account. It passes the user ID, the operation mode and the module as arguments and does not expect a return value.

The operation mode will either be close_deactivate or close_delete.

Parameters

  1. int $userId

    ID of the user which closed their account.

  2. string $mode

    The “close account” mode. Either close_deactivate or close_delete.

  3. \Contao\Module $module

    The front end module object. This allows you to retrieve all data from the current tl_module result set.

Example

// src/EventListener/CloseAccountListener.php
namespace App\EventListener;

use Contao\CoreBundle\DependencyInjection\Attribute\AsHook;
use Contao\Module;

#[AsHook('closeAccount')]
class CloseAccountListener
{
    public function __invoke(int $userId, string $mode, Module $module): void
    {
        // Do something …
    }
}
