Knack Flows - Trigger based on edit to "User" table records?

Next-Gen
1

The User table in Knack is often an important place to store user level data since it can be accessed via front end JS, whereas data in role specific tables (e.g. a “Customers” user table) can not be accessed still via front end js in Next-Gen :frowning:

Given this, it would be super helpful to be able to trigger knack flows based on updates to the User table. Can anyone from Knack explain why this is not an option, but updates on records in specific role tables are an option to select as a trigger?

Are there any known workarounds? Doesn’t seem like it’s possible in Make.com either.. anyone know how to enroll a custom webhook to watch for changes to a particular column on the Users table

Hi @jake5, I just checked Flows, and it looks like the users table is available, however it is titled Accounts, even in Next-Gen (despite it being labelled All Users in the Builder interface).

This same table should be available in Make.com.

It’s a bit more involved to detect if a column value changes, and involves some form record actions to flag it in another field when ‘column is changed’, where you’d then have to reset that field value in your workflow.

Thanks Stephen! Wow I feel like a dodo :dodo:

Didn’t realize accounts = users
