Why push notifications for profile updates matter

When a user updates their profile, you want to inform other users or services in real time.

For example, a team admin can see right away when a member changes their photo or contact details.

What is Operational

Operational is an open-source event tracking tool for any tech product.

You can use it to log events and power real-time features like push notifications.

Setting up Operational

1. Go to app.operational.co and sign up.

2. Create a new project in your dashboard.

3. Copy your API key from project settings.

4. Install the SDK in your codebase:

   npm install @operational.co/sdk

Code example

import Operational from "@operational.co/sdk";

const ops = new Operational("API_KEY");

const payload = {
  name: "user profile updated",
  avatar: "👤",
  content: "Alice Johnson updated their profile"
};

await ops.events.ingest(payload);

This code sends an event to Operational whenever a user updates their profile. You can use it to trigger push notifications.

Conclusion

Operational saves time and hassle by handling event tracking and real-time features for you.
