Trigger Profile Update

Hello,

Is there any way to trigger a “profile update” when a pods form is submitted for a specific user?

Let me explain:

We’ve set up Pods to extend user fields. So now we’ve got a Pods shortcode that is responsible for “user_gender”. We’ve used this function (https://tommcfarlin.com/use-the-current-user-id-with-pods/) to attach the shortcode to a specific user.

So now our shortcode looks like this:

[pods name="user" field="user_gender" where="id=1"]

When that pods shortcode is updated, the user’s gender is changed successfully to either Male or Female for that specific user; however, a “profile update” is not triggered.

We’re using another plugin that recognizes when a profile update is triggered and then pushes that data outbound. For example, this works perfectly with Ultimate Member when a user updates their profile. However, this doesn’t happen when submitting a Pods form.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!
