Tracking Changes for Edits/Updates in hosted Feature Layer

TheGamer — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 16:45:51 GMT

So, I want to keep a history of all the edits/updates/adds being done to the feature layer. So I created a webhook that works perfectly fine, but the only issue is I don't want to receive an email every time I make an edit. I know this is the purpose of webhooks such as Make (Integromat). But, is there an alternative using where I can get all the changes made since the creation of the hosted layer?

Hello @TheGamer,

Not sure if there is another way of getting what you need, but at least I believe you could make use of Extract Changes operation via REST. Probably not the easiest way from the UI point of view cause it involves requests and parsing responses, but it might be a start.

Regards,
