Updated At
The Updated At field automatically records the date and time when a record was last modified. It is updated by the system every time the record is saved and cannot be edited manually.
How to Add
- Open a table and click Fields in the top bar.
- Click + Add existing field.
- Select Updated at from the list.
- Click Save.
Capabilities
- Automatically capture the timestamp of the most recent edit to a record
- Display the last modification date and time in the table and on the record view
- Use the field in filters, sorts, and automations based on when records were last updated
Use Cases and Examples
Identifying stale records — Sort or filter by Updated At to find records that haven't been touched in a while, useful for follow-up or cleanup workflows.
Time-based automations — Trigger an automation when a record hasn't been updated in X days, using Updated At as the reference point.
Keep in Mind
- The field is read-only and updates automatically on every save. It cannot be set or changed manually.
- The timestamp reflects the server time at the moment of the last save, not the user's local time.
- Updated At changes on every edit, including minor changes. It does not distinguish between significant updates and small corrections.
FAQ
1- Can I manually set or reset the Updated At value?
No. It is controlled entirely by the system and updates automatically whenever the record is saved.
2- Does Updated At change when the record is first created?
Yes. At creation, Updated At will initially match Created At, and will change with every subsequent edit.
