Run trigger on Password Update

[NiceDuck]

Is it possible to make a trigger run when a password field is updated?

Hi @NiceDuck, 

You can actually create a Trigger to run only if the Password field is updated, given that you only have few fields in the Table. In your criteria, you need to include all the fields except for the password.  There should be a Timestamp field as well that will stamp the time upon update. If the timestamp field was changed, it means that there is an update happened for that record. Other fields must be equal from the previous value to the inserted one. 

 

Hope this helps.

Okay, 

It turns out that if the update on password originates from a DataPage (ex, Single Record Update form), the trigger activates. However, if you update the password directly to the Caspio Table, it bypass the trigger.

As a follow up to this, I noticed that my initial observation is wrong as direct password change to the table also activates the trigger to run. For some reason however, you will need to refresh the table first before you can see the updates unlike normal record updates where the trigger apply the changes right away.

@cheonsa 's solution worked perfectly to timestamp password updates as well. Thanks!
