Is it possible to identify when a specific custom field has been updated using Rest API

kranthi.chiluveru Sep 26, 2018 8:25 AM

Hello All,

As per our requirement, we have created couple of custom fields for user profiles where in user can add/update/delete the values as per the need. We are trying to identify at what particular time of the day that specific custom field has been updated for a user profile and wondering if there is a way to identify it using Rest API's. Any suggestions/work-arournds on this topic would be very helpful to us.

Thanks in advance!

Only the Person object is updated, so last profile update is the only date that changes. There is no individual date for only one profile data changing. You would have to load the data in a separate database and compare diffs against older versions of the user's data.

You could also use system webhooks to get notified about profile changes of users- this makes it easier to track the changes... additionally you could use extended properties (https://community.jivesoftware.com/docs/DOC-97277) to store dates or old data directly on the user object...
