I figured this out after hooking up a “Watch Entities” trigger in Make.  
Shows it was updated recently:

But activity log says nothing:

But ALL activities were updated at this time. I’m in GMT+2 right now, so this is happening at midnight GMT. Any reason for this? I have a self relation auto-link, is that whats triggering it?

It makes it impossible to use Make or other automation engines that rely on the Watch Entities webhook.

Not in my past experiences, but I avoid the watch entities module in Make like the plague.  
Do you have rich text fields in that database? Maybe that’s what the update is related to.

Doesn’t look like the rich text had any changes…  
Yeah this really makes the “Watch Entities” unusable…

Do you have any formulas that contain `Today()` ?

Aaaaah yes, that makes sense. Its calculating age based on date of birth. So it seems i either need to remove this formula, or not use the “Watch Entities” module then… Is there another possibility?

Well, I don’t know what you’re trying to achieve 🤷‍♂️

I suppose the ‘watch entities’ process is correctly being triggered due to the formula result being updated.

Fair, I’m trying to trigger a Meta Conversion API on entity creation. Im running meta ads to a Fibery form. I thought I could do it with no-code with Make, but I could only find the “Watch Entities” trigger. No trigger for just “Entity Created”
