Every time an update is made on a work item that is synced by Backbone, the last send will be updated to this date. This is stored as any other date field. You can search for that with the following:

• Attribute: backbone.lastSent

• Example JQL: backbone.lastSent > startOfDay()

  • This will list all work items that have synced/send over information since the start of the day
