"Touch" Contact's Last Modified Date

Hi folks

I have Contacts View with some filters applied. The default sort is Last Modified Date.

The reason for this view is that I am updating a field and if I leave and come back later, any updated record will be at the bottom of the view.

There’s a catch though. Some records don’t need an update so the Last Modified Data doesn’t change for them. This means those records are left at the top of the view.

I’d like a “touch” function or a way to update the Last Modified Date so that those records can be moved to the bottom of the view.

Any ideas?

I will reply with something I’ve done - added an unused column to the view and just change it to “.” and save the records. This will update the last timestamp and work for our needs.

Hi @freitasm,
HubSpot doesn’t have a built-in “touch” button for contacts, but you can simulate it.You can create a custom property (e.g. “Last Touched” as a date field). You can then update this field manually or with a simple workflow that sets it to today’s date. HubSpot sees it as an update and refreshes the Last Modified Date, which moves the record in your sorted view. This way, you can “bump” records down without altering meaningful data.
