First, go to Integrations from the Fluent Forms Navbar, search for User Update through the search bar, and get the User Registration or Update module.
Now, enable the User Registration or Update module.
Configure the User Update Feed
To configure the user update feed, you have to go to a particular form or create a new form for your user update.
If you do not have any existing forms, read Create a Form from Scratch or Create a Form using Templates documentation to create a new one.
Once the module is enabled, proceed with the form settings. Click the forms Settings & Integration section. Then click the Configure Integrations section from the left sidebar.
After that, click on the Add New Integration button and select the User Registration or Update Integration option from the drop down menu.
