The Audit by UnifyApps node enables monitoring and tracking of changes across your system with detailed audit records.

Overview

The Audit by UnifyApps node enables monitoring and tracking of changes across your system with detailed audit records. You can access a comprehensive history of data modifications, including who made changes, when they occurred, and what was altered, making it ideal for compliance, accountability, and troubleshooting.

Use Cases

Compliance Monitoring — Track all changes made to critical business data using Get audit records. This helps organizations maintain detailed logs for regulatory compliance and enables them to demonstrate accountability during audits.

Data Change Investigation — When unexpected data changes occur, use filters in Get audit records to identify when the change happened, who made it, and what exactly was altered. This allows for quick resolution of data issues.

Security Audit Trail — Maintain a comprehensive history of all system changes with filtered audit records. Security teams can monitor for unusual activities, investigate potential security breaches, and ensure that all modifications follow company policies.

Get audit records

Retrieves detailed logs of changes made to assets of one type, or to a single asset. Provides visibility into who modified data, what changes were made, and when they occurred.

Input Fields

• Select Asset (required) — The asset type whose audit records you want.

• Asset ID (optional) — The ID of one asset. Leave it empty to get records for every asset of the selected type.

• Filter — Define conditions to narrow down audit records:

  • Where — Specify field name for filtering (e.g., Change Type, Owner User Id)

  • Condition — Select operators like "Equals to"

  • Value — Enter the specific value to match

  • Add Condition — Add another condition in the same group

  • Add Condition Group — Create logical groups with AND/OR operators

  • Add Filter — Combine multiple filters for complex queries

Page

• Offset — Starting point for retrieving records

• Limit — Maximum number of records to retrieve

Sort order

Choose between Ascending or Descending. Records are sorted based on the time they were captured. Default: Descending (newest first).

Permissions

The automation can only read audit records for assets its user has View permission on — for the asset type, or for the specific asset when you set Asset ID. Otherwise the action fails.

Output

The action returns detailed audit records with a hierarchical structure:

• Objects

   

  — Collection of audit records, each containing:

  • Columns — Key metadata: Change Type (create, update, delete), Owner User Id (who made the change)

  • Changes — Detailed modification info: Date, New Value, Field Name, Old Value, Additional context, Country, Line Item Id

Notes

Keep the following in mind when using Audit by UnifyApps:

• Always apply at least one filter when calling Get audit records in high-volume environments; retrieving all records without filtering can produce very large result sets.

• Change Type, Owner User Id, and timestamp are the three fields most commonly used for compliance filtering; add these before other conditions.

• For investigations into a single asset, set Asset ID — it scopes results immediately and typically runs faster.

• Sort records in Descending order (newest first) when investigating a recent incident; switch to Ascending only when building a full chronological timeline.

• Combine audit records with a notification step to alert on unauthorized or unexpected change types as part of a real-time security monitoring automation.
