MONITOR EMAIL ADDRESS CHANGE WITH SHELL LANGUAGE

Monitor when a user changes their email address in your Shell application

When developing a Shell application for user service, it becomes necessary to store user email addresses within your database for a variety of purposes. These include sending welcome emails upon user sign-up, facilitating password reset emails when requested, or notifying users when they're mentioned in comments. Moreover, email addresses are commonly utilized for user authentication and authorization.

In many instances, users may wish to change their email addresses while using your application, driven by reasons like mistyped addresses during sign-up or personal email updates. In any case, it is vital to implement email address change tracking within your Shell application to stay continuously informed about such modifications and ensure your database remains up-to-date.
