Is there an event in Magento 1.9.x for Newsletter Subscription from the Profile page?

How do I find out when a user updates their newsletter subscription preference from this page?

I tried controller_action_predispatch_newsletter_manage_save and newsletter_subscriber_save_after events. Although not getting any subcriber data through either of the following:

$event = $observer->getEvent();
 $isSubscribed = $event->getRequest()->getParam('is_subscribed');

or 

$subscriber = $observer->getEvent()->getSubscriber();
$data = $subscriber->getData();

Try listening to the model_save_after event with something like this (pseudocode):

public function checkSubscriptionPreference(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
    $model = $observer->getObject();
    if (!$model instanceof Mage_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber) {
        return;
    }

    if ($model->isSubscribed()) {
        // your logic here
    }
}

There are other similar events that you could use depending on what you need, such as model_save_before, model_load_before, etc.

    Source: nicksays.co.uk/magento-events-cheat-sheet-1-9 - see Mage/Core/Model/Abstract.php:390 for the code that fires the event. – Gabriel Somoza Apr 27 '17 at 15:40
  • Are there other activities as well that throw the same event? I am looking for something specific to Newsletter subscription. – Guruji Apr 27 '17 at 18:03

    I went ahead with this implementation itself. Working well for me. Thanks for your help! – Guruji May 5 '17 at 16:23

    There's a better observer to use, 'newsletter_subscriber_save_after', which is specific for that model, that way it doesn't fire on every observer save – eddhall Mar 9 '18 at 16:08
