Using Update At Field for Dynamic Trigger in Automation

·

Hey All, i am looking to use the Update At field to provide a time for a dynamic trigger field. something like this OR( ISBLANK({HR Hiring Score}), DATE_DIFF(TODAY(), {Last Updated}, "days") > 60 ) any idea why i cant use the update at field to support this?

I’ve noticed this too, my guess is it’s due to the Updated At column being updated anytime the row is run. Thus allowing it to be used in triggers or directly in actions is a Run-away-loop 101 recipe. Haven’t confirmed this with the Clay team, but it’s my best guess 🙌🏼

Not sure how else you will be able to make dynamic triggers
