Modification tracking on entities via API

Is there a way to receive information about the deleted entities like customers or contacts via API?

It looks like SystemLastModifiedOn field should provide info on the date of modification, but I haven't figured out how to add it to the API response.

But are there any other system markers to receive such info on the modified and deleted?

Hi, you can enable the Change Log function and then detect modifications and deletions from Change Log Entries.

Or, another simple method is to create a new table, such as "Modified and Deleted Data", and insert it into this table when Customers or Contacts are modified or deleted. Then publish this table in API or Web Service. Use this table to synchronize data.

Hope this can give you some hints.

Thanks.

Hi

I would say you should explore Webhooks.
