I want to fire an event when a user signs in on the client side. Currently i can do it for new users cause they land on a welcome page. When a user signs in normally I increment user.logins on the server side and take them to their dashboard. Is there a good way to know if it's a new sign so i can fire a client side event?

Set a cookie if it’s a new sign in, then check for this cookie
You have access to req object in next auth
Also you can use middleware for that redirect after doing the cookie check

if you want to show a differnt page for example for the first signed in users
vs users who have already signed in multiple times

for first signed in users this isn't needed
nextAuth config has a
pages :{ newUser: path }
