Virtual Empower: App Library

Just wanted to start a thread around the App Library that I presented on during Virtual Empower 2020. My hope is that this can be a place to share other use cases you've come up with, or simply ask q...

Hey @Karthik Sekhar

Are you looking for the date that the table record was updated within the Tables table? (hopefully that's not too confusing, haha) If so, the default Date Modified should do the trick.

If you're looking for the date of the most recent record update within the documented table (ex: Clients table, date of the most recently updated client record), this data isn't currently available in the RESTful APIs. However I do see that it's available in the XML APIs if you wanted to venture down that road.

Thanks!
Ryan

Thanks Ryan for your response. Is there any way we can automate the button click to refresh schema? Currently, we have to manually click the button and enter the User Token to run the refresh.

    I am looking for the same functionality as @Karthik Sekhar requested.
    Would love to be able to track schema updates as they happen (or at the very least, daily) without having to manually refresh.
    Thank you!​

      To setup an automatic refresh, you would need to use something like Pipelines, Workato, or an externally hosted script that would update the app using stored credentials. I am assuming you could use the code pages that Ryan has setup in the app as a starting point, though.

        Thank you @Blake Harrison!
        @Ryan Pflederer, wondering if you have any tips on this (updating schema automatically). Also wondering if there is an error log functionality to record "event" errors.
        Overall, this app is great! I'm excited to​​ maximize all its capabilities to help us better document and clean up our app.​​​
