Understanding the Challenge

A community member asked about identifying cloud pages with submissions in the last x days or months, and while there isn’t a straightforward data view that provides this information, there are alternative approaches to achieve this goal.

One possible solution is to look at the target of the submission, such as a Data Extension (DE), and check for record creation timestamps or monitor the DE for changes.

Alternative Approaches

Another approach is to build routines that send daily updates about new record creations, as suggested by a community member.

Additionally, analytics can be used to monitor submit events on cloud pages, providing valuable insights into page activity.

The root cause of this challenge is the lack of a built-in data view that provides a straightforward way to identify cloud pages with recent submissions.

Implementing a Solution

To identify cloud pages with recent submissions, you can use the “_Submissions” data view and filter the results by submission date.

SFMC Query Example

SELECT * FROM _Submissions WHERE SubmissionDate > DATEADD(DAY, -30, GETDATE())

Heads up: Make sure to adjust the date filter to match your specific requirements.
