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

  1. Open a table and click Fields in the top bar.
  2. Click + Add existing field.
  3. Select Updated at from the list.
  4. 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.
