Hi @danieliser – in fact, my query was answered as soon as I checked your FB group, so it never made it as far as your ticket system. I couldn’t work out why my popup didn’t stop when I’d set a cookie – you pointed out to someone else in the group that their cookie wasn’t linked to the trigger, and that turned out to be my problem too.

So thanks!

Many thanks, Kuba. Those links look very useful; not to me, you understand – I had to smile when I read the comment ‘Pretty standard stuff‘ in one (it meant nothing to me) – but hopefully to a developer friend. Mind you. he denied all knowledge of webhooks until he decided they were just APIs.

If ‘we’ can find a way to do it, I’ll post it here, if that’s OK – I imagine there are plenty of UM users who might find it handy.

Hi again
As a follow-up to this, I understand that updating the Ultimate Member profile will not trigger a notification, since that relies on the WP profile being updated, rather than UM’s own one.
However, if I include the WordPress native profile field ‘Nickname’ in the UM profile, and update it through UM (confirming by checking in WP admin that it is indeed being changed), I still don’t get a notification; on the other hand, if I carry out that exact same change via WP admin dashboard, I do get a notification.

Sorry to harp on about this, but it just seems sooo close to working!

Thanks

Hi Kuba – thanks again for your time.

tbh, I’m not using the meta values at all, apart from {user_ID} in the subject or body of the email to show which user is doing the updating.

I should explain better what I’m needing to do – which is merely to notify admin of when a user has updated their profile. We have a membership system entirely independent of the website, and I’m trying to find a way for members to update their membership details online (having set up profile forms that mirror our other system & imported their details), and for our membership secretary to be informed they have done so, check it & transfer any changes to her own system. It sounds clumsy (& probably is!), but I cannot get away from using the other system as our main membership handling software.

I would ideally use Ultimate Member for this, but in the absence of an idiot’s guide to populating the webhook section of your trigger with their webhook um_user_edit_profile Hook type Action Description Run on successful submit profile form Parameters $args (array) Form Arguments Usage add_action( ‘um_user_edit_profile’, ‘function_name’, 10, 1 );
I looked at the User Meta plugin as it seemed to allow the use of WP native fields in its profile rather just its own (and indeed if you look at user details in WP admin after updating a profile, they have changed), so I assumed that the Notification plugin would pick up that change & email admin – but again, it’s only going to the user.

Thanks again for your time & apologies for the length
Pete

PS I’ve also just realised that my last post here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-notification-of-profile-update/ was directed at the wrong plugin – I should have been asking you! It explains why they haven’t replied – they’re probably wondering what on earth I was talking about. You may be joining them . . .

Thanks for the reply – I had a horrible feeling you were going to say that. I’ll keep a look out for the extension, and meantime ask UM if they have a way to do notifications.

It’s a shame – yours is an excellent plugin!

Edit: – just for the record – this is apparently not at present possible from within Ultimate Member.
Hurry up @kubitomakita!

Ive just noticed that I do get a notification if a user updates their account, if that helps . . .

Perfect!

Thanks
