@lindsay.esterman It would be great if Bubble provides a Last Active value for the User datatype by default, as it already does for Email, Created Date and Modified Date.

I know this can be achieved by having a date and time field under a user and updating it with current date and time after every action, but this is cumbersome and can become a WU and performance issue.

It would also be helpful if Bubble provides a way for us to know if a user is on a browser tab the app is loaded on. This way, coupled with the above, we can know if a user is actively using the app, in a native and performant way.

I would not consider using ‘Do every X seconds’ or updating a date and time field under a user after every workflow action for reasons stated above.

Using a plugin would have been a great interim alternative but the only seemingly reliable plugin which achieved this feature is now dead, which further emphasizes the need for this feature 🆕 [NEW PLUGIN] Online Tracker | Easily retrieve currently online users and active status - #27 by sniphairmail

This feature can be a huge boost for many apps across Bubble, specially enterprise apps for security and record keeping purposes.
