How to capture the specific "Last Node Timestamp" within an active Journey?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a way to programmatically capture or reference the timestamp of the last node a profile passed through (Email - Pre Waits), directly within the Journey canvas (not via Query Service on the Step Events dataset later).

 


I need to use the exact date/time a profile hit the Email step to calculate a Custom wait time.


What I've tried: lastActionExecutionElapsedTime - but not sure if it’s helping me.

Does anyone know of a way to "stamp" a profile with their last node date within the journey logic itself? Thanks

    @Silvio6 AJO currently lacks the native capability to directly capture the exact timestamp of the last node a profile interacted with and then leverage this data within the logic of the same journey. The existing lastActionExecutionElapsedTime measures the duration spent on the last activity, not its timestamp. Alternative methods, such as using an "update activity," are complicated and not a clean solution.

    Thanks, Sathees
