Listening for Role Changes in Netlify Identity UI

I’m looking to implement a workflow where we can listen for role changes made through Netlify Identity. Here’s what we’re trying to achieve:

  1. User signs up via Netlify Identity UI
  2. We verify the user’s details through our admin process
  3. We update the user’s role to grant access to gated content
  4. When this role update occurs, we want to trigger an email notification to the user informing them of their approved status

Is there a similar event we can listen to for role changes? Or is there another recommended approach to achieve this workflow?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Netlify Identity is being deprecated, I’d advise looking into alternatives. As for your answer, there’s no event. You should trigger the email yourself while updating the role.
