[Waiting for user confirmation] Custom Fields on User – what actions fire on WP admin user-edit_php page?

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to build an integration with an external service. When a custom field added to a User entity from Toolset is updated from the WP Admin Dashboard (user-edit.php page), I need to have the change be sent to an external service. To do this, I am trying to use the profile_update hook by adding an action there, but this does not appear to be triggered when custom fields (wpcf-xxxxxx) introduced by Toolset, are updated from this page. If I update them programmatically on other areas of the site, updated_user_meta fires as expected.

I've tried hooking into the following with no success for these custom user fields (wpcf-xxxx):
profile_update, updated_user_meta, personal_options_update, edit_user_profile_update

Any thoughts? Is there a toolset hook that is used instead that I should be adding an action to?

Many thanks!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset do not have any hooks related to backend edit profile page:

What if you try to use the hook "updated_meta_type_meta":
