Email Notifications when Member Profile is Updated

[mpninc]

We need an email notification sent to our admins whenever a member updates their profile. We use the form builder and profile extended add-ons. I tried adding the following code to my functions.php (using both eMember_profile_updated and eMember_profile_updated_form_builder) but I cannot get it to work. Nothing seems to happen at all and I don’t see anything in the logs. Am I missing something or is there a different hook that I need to be using? Maybe I just messed up the code or am approaching it the wrong way. Any help or insights would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

add_action(‘eMember_profile_updated’, ‘run_my_custom_function’, 10, 2);
function run_my_custom_function($fields, $custom_fields){
$member_id = $fields[‘member_id’];
$username = $fields[‘username’];
$to = “email@mysite.com”;
$subject = “Member Profile Updated”;
$header = “From: ” . “accounts@mysite.com” . “rn”;
$message = “Member profile updated. Please review user details for ” . $username;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
}

I tried adding the following code to my functions.php

Is the add_action() function in a part of your theme’s functions.php file, that is actually being parsed, when the form is displayed?

is there a different hook that I need to be using?

You seem to be doing it right, according to this previous thread:

eMember – Is it possible to have email to admin after customer update profile?

Thank you for your reply but I am not sure what you mean by “Is the add_action() function in a part of your theme’s functions.php file, that is actually being parsed, when the form is displayed?” How do I even know? Is there a certain place in functions.php that the add_action() function needs to be?

I can see that you are using the form builder addon. Try the following hook which is triggered by that addon:

add_action('eMember_profile_updated_form_builder', 'run_my_custom_function', 10, 2);

Give that a try.
