Magento 2 Catch customer creation event on both frontend and admin

Question

I'm aware of the event emitted from CreatePost.php

$this->_eventManager->dispatch(
    'customer_register_success',
    ['account_controller' => $this, 'customer' => $customer]
);

but this is only for frontend new customer event, I have to find the best area to enter some code that runs only once when a new customer is created.

Edit: customer can be created thru frontend, API, admin page. And I need to catch all.

Edit 2: I'm trying to find the last event when a customer is created or edited, I have to run a reindex command after.

Thanks in advance.

Saveafter observer is good for you.

Frontend, Admin, API, we should use Plugin for : \Magento\Customer\Model\AccountManagement::createAccount()

Wouldn't that get me the "before" call, where the model hasn't been created yet?

Actually I don’t know your purpose. I just gave you a suggestion. Can you update your question more details?

One of the 3rd party extensions that I have, has some custom attributes on customer model, and it's forcing me to run a reindex on new customers, and everytime a customer group is changed, I've already tried update on save also, I still need to reindex customer grid every time.
