UPDATE 2: last modified time is now available to everyone! You can learn more about it here.

UPDATE: The last modified time beta is now closed as we get ready for a general release. Thanks to all of the testers who made this beta a success.

ORIGINAL POST:

Hi folks! We’re very excited to announce that we’re beta testing a last modified time field type, as well as a LAST_MODIFIED_TIME formula function. Many thanks to the users who’ve posted specific, detailed feedback about their needs and use cases with regard to this feature, like @Arlo_Haskell, @Deborah_Buck, and @Jordan_Friedman. We read everything that is posted here in the forums and your feedback is incredibly valuable for us when we’re planning the product roadmap and developing new features!

If you’re a Pro plan user and you’re interested in testing out the last modified time field type and/or the LAST_MODIFIED_TIME formula function—and giving us your feedback—please sign up using this form. (Note: this is a different form from our standard beta signup form, and it requires you to fill out a couple of additional questions.)

As you are all aware, this is a highly anticipated feature, and there are many users who would like to get beta access. However, for technical reasons and to ensure an optimal user experience, rollout for this beta will be conducted in small, limited batches. (In practical terms, that means that it might take a while for you to get access.)

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?

+1, just want to add my voice here.

[abdou_justsmile]

yes a very critical feature request, make it your first priority please

adding a handful of new field types

• created time
• last modified time
• created by user

[Jacob_Turley]

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!

[Carlos_Caban]

+1 For last modified field or webhooks. Is there a mailing list we can get on for specific feature updates?!? Much appreciated!

[Miles_Blackwood]

+1 It looks like the feature is in development? It’d be nice to at least hear what the progress has been.

[Nicholas_Ewing]

+1 Would love to see the last modified feature as well.

[Karo_Castro-Wun]

+1 on last modified request!

Hello. I’d also like to see a Last Modified function, to tell me when a record or even a given field in a record was last modified. Similar to the extant CREATED_TIME() function.

We use Zapier’s “new record in view” trigger to build a MailChimp mailing list for upcoming events. Sometimes an email address changes. Ideally I would use the Last Modified function in a filter that shows me only those records where the email address has changed since the date of event-ticket purchase.

I gather from the thread here that this has been in progress for some time. Hope to see it rolled out soon.

Thank you.
