Using Main Subdomain for Zendesk User Creation

Understand why using the main subdomain in Zendesk API doesn't allow setting a specific brand for welcome emails.

Can I use the main subdomain for creating users and still set a specific brand for welcome emails?

No, using the main subdomain for creating users will not allow you to set a specific brand for welcome emails.

To ensure that users receive welcome emails from a specific brand, you must either use the brand's subdomain or include theactive_brand_idattribute in your API request. Using the main subdomain will default to the main account's brand, which may not be the desired outcome if you manage multiple brands.
