RECORD_USER

Returns information about the user who created or most recently updated the current record.

Syntax​

RECORD_USER(event, property)

Arguments​

  • event: Use "created" for the record creator or "updated" for the most recent updater.
  • property: The user property to return. Currently, only "email" is supported.

Examples​

Return the email address of the user who created the record:

RECORD_USER("created", "email")

Return the email address of the user who most recently updated the record:

RECORD_USER("updated", "email")

Add a label to the creator's email:

CONCAT_A("Created by: ", RECORD_USER("created", "email"))

Notes​

  • RECORD_USER is asynchronous. Use it directly or combine it with async-aware functions such as CONCAT_A and TEXT_A. A regular CONCAT does not wait for the result.
  • The result is captured when the record formula evaluates. Changing the user's account email later does not automatically update values already stored in records.
  • The formula exposes the selected audit user's email in the field where it is used. Add it to a Type only when that exposure is intentional.
  • If the audit user is unavailable, the function returns an empty value.
