How do I configure an Action to record the current timestamp or current user?

Question

I'd like to allow users to edit an Object and want to record the time and by whom the edit was made. Is there a way to do this with an Action?

Answer 1

Current Timestamp can be part of your logic rule. Here are the steps to configure:

1. Generate a logic rule
2. Click in to the parameter you want to store current time
3. Select Current Timestamp from the dropdown

Note that this configuration only supports timestamps, not date types.

You can follow the same steps to add Current User to a string column, for example on a "last modified by" property.
