Is there an exhaustive list for things that will trigger a new updated value for profiles, lists, and segments?
For example it seems that subscribing a profile to a list will trigger a new updated value for that profile. On the other hand, manually adding a profile to a list appears to not trigger a new updated value.
Is there any documentation anywhere on what triggers new updated values for these entities?

Hi there
Happy to help!
Do you mind sharing screenshots of a profile with an updated and non-updated value when being added to a limit manually or upon another type of subscription?
Happy to help once I have more clarify on exactly what you’re seeing! Thank you!

Has there been any additional progress on this topic? I am also trying to understand what causes the Profile Updated value to be set. I am building a process to sync Profile data to an external database using the Get Profiles API with an Updated greater-than the previous sync datetime. It returns the set of Profiles I expect but when I look at them, I see events like “Opened Email” with the date of the Updated value but no actual changes to the Profile data itself (e.g. name, address, custom attributes, etc...). Is there a way to determine if actual Profile data has changed?
Thanks,
Doug

Hi
At this time, there is no way via the API to be notified when a profile has been updated, but I will definitely forward this to our API team and update the thread if anything changes!
Best,
Brian
