How to detect changed fields on profile update

    We would like to notify certain users (by sending an email) when a user updates their profile. How can we tell which fields have changed/updated on the profile update. I see a few hooks where we can send the email, but its not apparent to me that UM is sending the old and new user profile values in the hooks. Is there a hook where I can see the fields that have changed, or at least compare old to new?

    You can try this hook where you can compare $to_update with current values for $user_id either from the UM Cache or read from the DB.

    /**
	 * UM hook
	 *
	 * @type action
	 * @title um_user_pre_updating_profile
	 * @description Some actions before profile submit
	 * @input_vars
	 * [{"var":"$userinfo","type":"array","desc":"Submitted User Data"},
	 * {"var":"$user_id","type":"int","desc":"User ID"}]
	 * @change_log
	 * ["Since: 2.0"]
	 * @usage add_action( 'um_user_pre_updating_profile', 'function_name', 10, 2 );
	 * @example
	 * <?php
	 * add_action( 'um_user_pre_updating_profile', 'my_user_pre_updating_profile', 10, 2 );
	 * function my_user_pre_updating_profile( $userinfo, $user_id ) {
	 *     // your code here
	 * }
	 * ?>
	 */
	do_action( 'um_user_pre_updating_profile', $to_update, $user_id );

    @missveronicatv thank you
    is there a way to get all the user’s UM fields (including custom fields that we have added)? I would think there’s a way, I just dont know how

    Hi @ftballguy45

    You can try the following Code Snippet to retrieve fields from a specific Profile Form:

    UM()->fields()->set_id = 123;
$form_fields = UM()->fields()->get_fields();
