Customer save event

Question

I want to save a custom attribute value in my custom table after saving a customer from the admin panel, with an observer event, I only need the name of the event

Answer 1

You may use customer_save_after and eventually check if the action comes from admin if that's required

Answer 2

If you have tried to find out the event during customer creation at Magento, then you can use adminhtml_customer_save_after event.

            $this->_eventManager->dispatch(
                'adminhtml_customer_save_after',
                ['customer' => $customer, 'request' => $this->getRequest()]
            );

That this event, you get custom field data using $observer->getRequest()->getPostValue(); if you will add any custom field admin customer create and edit page.

Observer look Like:

<?php

namespace {VendorName}\{ModuelName}\Observer;

use Magento\Framework\Event\Observer;
use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;

class SaveFromBackend implements ObserverInterface
{


    /**
     * Save A customer Annual Purchase Limit
     *
     * @param  Observer $observer
     * @throws \Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException
     */
    public function execute(Observer $observer)
    {

        $customer = $observer->getEvent()->getCustomer();
        $request = $observer->getEvent()->getRequest();
        $postData = $request->getPostValue();

        if (isset($postData['custom_field']))
        ) {
        $customfield = $postData['custom_field'];
            // Save data here
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

You can use customer_save_commit_after event as this is triggered after the transaction is committed.
