Hi Auth0 community,

I am looking into ways to configure an automation using Actions, Rules or Hooks that would trigger based on an update of user and/or app metadata attributes. Idea is I would like to fire a notification to a 3rd party system that the user profile has been updated, with or without the updated metadata as part of the payload.

I looked at Actions triggers, but none seem to be the right one. Hooks seem to follow the same triggers. Rules on the other hand, while a legacy feature, seem to be completely customizable, and thus a possible solution.

Did anyone try to solve for such a use case and has any tips?

Am I missing something about Actions triggers that could apply here?

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Hi @awylon,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

There isn’t an Action for `user update` like there is for `post-login` or `password change`.

You can essentially build your own Action on any log event (in this case you would want Success API Operation `sapi`) by using [Log Streams](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/log-streams) and AWS EventBridge + Lambda Function.

You will send a stream of logs to EventBridge, set to trigger a lambda on the specific event you are looking for.

Does that make sense?
