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

[joeplc]

Hi,

I have been using eMember.

1)I noticed that it is possible to receive email to admin after customer makes registration. I have a need to receive email to admin after customer makes updates from profile edit page. Or is there any way that the admin can know when customer makes update to their information?

2)Also I would like to know if it is possible to make multiple profile edit pages. It would be nice if I can offer cutomers different pages to make edition to some of their specific information on specific pages. thanks

It is not a common practice to do this. This is why eMember does not have this option. Imagine having a few thousand members and then the members updating the profile multiple times. You would end up having a flood of emails for this. If you really need this for a particular project we can do a custom job for you.

I would like to know if it is possible to make multiple profile edit pages

No, the profile edit/update works in one page.

Question,

I Have form builder addon.

Surely an additional email field can be created for the admin – only using a text field. Validate required. Prefill entry as desired email address. This then is available for selection in the forms Notification box. I know this was designed for notifying the customer of the profile changes but surely this would work also.

Regards,

R.

The existing system does not have the granularity to discern partial profile updates, without a moderate amount of redesign. If you want a more detailed assessment of what it would take, please request a custom work order quote:

I have noticed that WordPress has a hook that allows you to create this functionality (profile_updated).

Would it be possible to add a hook to eMember on the profile update so anyone could add the admin notification on profile change themselves?

We’d simple need the same functionality as the WordPress hook (access to old data, and of course the new data).

Thanks

There is already an action hook for this. The following action hook is triggered after a member updates the profile from the profile edit page:

eMember_profile_updated

Example code usage:

add_action('eMember_profile_updated', 'my_custom_after_profile_update_code', 10, 2);



function my_custom_after_profile_update_code($fields, $custom_fields){

$email_address = $fields['email'];

//TODO - Do something like send an email to this member's email address.

}

Thanks…I was looking for a hook that also included the original values (before update)…is this possible?

Can I use this function code without “wp_eMember_get_user_details($field_name)”? If I just have “my_custom_after_profile_update_code($fields)”, that will pass the current logged-in user’s field data?

Thanks!

[admin]

Yes. That “eMember_profile_updated” action hook gets triggered after a member updates the profile. You don’t need to use it with any other shortcode.

Thank you!

This hook is really useful to alert admin when a user updates their profile, but following up Robert’s request above – is there a someway to get the old data too so an admin can see what change has been made?

…is there a someway to get the old data too so an admin can see what change has been made?

Unfortunately, no. Because MySQL is not a “transactional database,” and web browsing is “stateless,” there would have to be profound design changes to the plugin.

[tjgorman]

No worries – thanks!

Sharing for others looking to do something similar. I am using the following code to receive an email if a user changes their email address. The email displays both the old and new email address. It works great.

---

add_action(‘eMember_profile_updated’, ‘my_custom_after_profile_update_code’, 10, 2);

function my_custom_after_profile_update_code($fields){

$email_new = $fields;

$to = “admin_email@address.com”;

$subject = “Member Profile Updated'”;

$user = wp_eMember_get_user_details(‘user_name’);

$email_old = wp_eMember_get_user_details(’email’);

$header = “From: ” . “admin_email@address.com” . “rn”;

$message = “Member updated email address

User: ” . $user. “

New Email: ” . $email_new. “

Old Email: ” . $email_old. “

if ( $email_new !== $email_old){

mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

}}

@sahmcolorado — Thank you for sharing. Do you also track all other profile differences, besides the email address?
