Button Presses in Activity History
Stacey Jenkins
I currently have no way to know who pushed a button. Some of our button fields open a new tab that kicks off an API call. We have no way to identify who pushed the button. Having an entry in the activity history of a button push and who pushed it would solve this for us.
Currently there is no work around for this.

Hello Stacey Jenkins! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more details about the specific buttons that you are referring to?
- What kind of information would you like to see in the activity history related to the button press?
- How often do you encounter situations where you need to identify who pushed the button?

Hi Jon Darbyshire! I only just now saw your questions - here are my answers:
1) I'm referring to any button field added to a record. In our world, we open up a tab that is actually a GET call to an API endpoint that triggers a PowerAutomate flow.
2) It would be helpful to see the timestamp that the button was pushed, and by which user.
3) Our workflow relies heavily on buttons, so it would be helpful as often as daily. Currently, we can't tell who initiated an action via button.
