This article explains how to index record changes for integrations and sync data with the Get records modified since (modifiedSince) REST API. Learn more about this API
App admins can turn on this indexing in the advanced table settings.
Quickbase can keep a short-term, indexed log of record changes for a table. When indexing is turned on, integrations can access record changes and update data.
To turn on indexing record changes:
-
Open your table in Quickbase and go to Advanced settings.
-
Under Advanced Table Settings, select Index record changes for integrations.
When you stop indexing changes, any new changes made to the records in this table aren’t available to FastField. This doesn’t change any existing data.
Example
If you have records 1–100 in Quickbase and sync them with Salesforce, and you delete record 50, your API call checks every hour and returns records 1–49 and 51–100. Without a log, there’s no way to know that record 50 was deleted. When this setting is enabled, Quickbase keeps a log of changes and deletions so you can see exactly which records were affected. This simplifies workflows and reduces complexity.
