What is the Responders table?

We had a duplicate account created by mistake, and while merging the accounts, I found a record on the Responders table (sys_rw_action)  I couldn't figure out the purpose of this table based on the records and data available, and I also couldn't find any documentation when searching the docs.

Anyone familiar with this table?

Hello Dustin,

 

The Responders (sys_rw_action) table is extended as shown below:

GraphQL is an open source query language. It's used for pulling data from your instance (API). 

If you take a look at the records listed within the Responders Table, it contains many entries from other tables (including the sys_user table) and appears to be a list of data to be exported from the instance. 

The best I can come up with based on what I've seen is that this is data (a sort of activity stream?) to be used by the API.

Hello Dustin,

The "rw" in the table name stands for "Record Watcher"  its for logs for differents events or if you want to use the "watch" feature in the field. It captures data needed for logs and debugging later down the road.

There is some backend code that takes that data works its magic and pushes it back for the debugging logs.
