[SOLVED] auto action time condition for profile update action

Not equal to 1 won't work as it's returning the activity id, which is unlikely to be 1. You need to check that it's equal to 0, equal to (leave empty), or probably the is empty condition. Also be sure to move the field to a tab it can seen on profile so you can make sure it's outputting the activity id of the most recent profile update for the user to ensure it's even outputting as expected.

You don't need a field action. You can't change the value of a CB Query Field as it has no storage. You only need a copy of the profile update activity action with a condition against the query field.

Understand I think and thanks for further feedback.

Don't need field action - ok.
Move to visible tab - already had, changed to field type, activity ID does not populate it, unfortunately.
Suppose the whole thing falls down with no actiivty ID, being shown.

With it, I can try to condition against it in User Update Action using: = 0 or = 'blank' or it might not need to be conditioned, is what I picked up from:

"need to check that it's equal to 0, equal to (leave empty), or probably the is empty condition".

If you think it's worth it community-wide be great to pin this down. Otherwise can unpublish. I'm at tail end of my project would gladly move on, but again think it's an awesome addition to this auto action.

You need to first create a CB Query Field with exactly the below query.


Next log a profile update activity entry. Then check that the field is displaying the ID of that activity entry. Once that is confirmed you can work on the condition of the auto action, which should be as follows.

[FIELD_NAME] Is Empty

Replace FIELD_NAME with the name of your CB Query Field. Now click save as copy for the profile update action. Ensure your copy is published and the system action is unpublished. Next attempt to log a new profile update activity entry and ensure it does not log one. Once confirmed delete the activity entry in CB Activity backend and now try to log a profile update activity entry again (very the CB Query Field returns nothing in profile view first) to ensure it logs.

Super!It works!and thanks. Hope others may find it useful too..

Have to apologise, I was confused intially with the CB Query Field in Integrations Tab of a Field. Drew me off course.

All you said and asked to confirm were done and successful. Maybe I just need to test after 24 hours, but suspect it will work fine, as it passed your checklist. Reckon I'll get more into database queries at some point, great introduction right there, find it interesting.

Thanks again
