Webhook event for member_updated

I am trying to catch events when organization members are updated to organization admin (owner) or from owner to member. Under the Webhook Events for organization I see event payloads for deleted, member_added, member_invited, member_removed, and renamed. I would like to get the member_updated event,

I set up a test webhook with the "send me everything" option ticked and another dedicated to the organization events. Then I tested adding and removing members, and received the webhook event as expected. Next, I modified a "member" updating them to "owner" and I do not see any webhook event triggered for this action, even in the "send me everything" webhook. I do see the event in the audit logs.

Is this omitted intentionally? Is there another way I can tell if a member's organization role has changed? Or is there a way we can have the member_updated event?

I've been facing the same issue 🤔

It definitely seems like an oversight.aybe I should open it as a bug...

I'm not 100% sure, but my current understanding is that only github enterprise emits that events. Unfortunately I do not currently have a way to confirm that's the case. I'm considering working around that via polling, but that's a bit annoying...

The enterprise docs show the same events as the non-enterprise versions.

Yeah, I will have to resort to polling. Fortunately, I'm on GitHub Education, so I'll just create an org with its own set of benefits (Actions minutes) to poll and trigger the workflow. Since they include events for member_invited, member_added, and member_removed, it seems like an oversight not to include member_updated since the event is logged in the audit logs.
