Is there any sort of Active Monitoring that can elegantly watch for User name/First/Last changes?

I've got a Rule in GAdmin that will trigger and send.  The email is a bit difficult to digest.  I'm trying to alert other depts so they can update their systems (that often have integrations or logins).

But I'd prefer something more elegant.  Does gam have anything that can watch for these changes and alert?  Ideally, I'd like it to POST to a database table/log.

I don't see any API that GAM could use to capture these changes directly.

Could it user `gam print alerts` on a scheduled basis wth a filter to look for these changes?

Send me a private Meet/Zoom invitation to discuss.

Try this:

gam report admin events CHANGE_FIRST_NAME,CHANGE_LAST_NAME start today

You can run this periodically in a script that does a post to your database.

Thanks Ross.  That works great for the names. 

Is there also one that will identify the user name/primary email?

I tried several guesses "CHANGE_USER_NAME", "CHANGE_USERNAME", "CHANGE_EMAIL", "CHANGE_PRIMARY_EMAIL"... but none worked.
