Would it be possible to add the “updated time” to the API response for each row returned?

This is quite necessary specially when building synchronization applications. By knowing the last time a row was updated, we can either trigger a call to synchronize it or skip it completely. This would decrease the load on Airtable’s side by a lot. Currently developers are forced to just update every single record on Airtable every x hours because there is no way to know whether a record was updated or not. I can force updates on specific records by adding my own timestamp every time I synchronize but that still requires a manual process.

Thanks

So when i edit content. And expand the view it actually has the modify date right inside there.
Would it not be easy to use this as a reference for the code?

Add yet another to the list requesting LAST_MODIFIED().
Airtable Team: It looks like this request has been floating out there for quite a while - any updates?

It looks like there’s plenty of support for this already, but wanted to make sure I put my name down for a last modified field as well!!

+1. Created Time is great, but adding these remaining missing cols would be incredibly helpful:

  • created user
  • last modified time
  • last modified user

+1 for date / time of record modified


+1!!! Need this to try and move into using AT as frontend

Yet another reminder. @Airtable_Support, can you please at least respond to all of us here and tell us whether you still plan to do this, and when a realistic release date might be?

Please can you give us a timeline of either this, or webhooks for updated records? This is one of the things that would really be holding us back from migrating a CRM. Right now there isn’t really a good way to integrate with a marketing automation system, as there isn’t an easy way for us to sync the marketing contacts with the airtable records… We would constantly have to loop through all the records and check that the object is the exact same in both systems.


Would Love a last modified/updated timestamp!
