Updating a record on checkout without requiring user interaction

When using simple checkout form, how can I update a record in my table? I want to indicate that something has been purchased so I can access it at a later date in an item list table.

Currently the checkout button will redirect to a new page (the purchased content), but there is no way for me to update my field to that the user can return to the purchased content at a later date. Only solution I have found is an action button which has to be clicked - One-click update. The user shouldn’t have to click this in order to save access to the report.

It looks like there used to be an Update record action but I can’t find it anywhere now, and not sure if it would provide a solution here.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Two options come to mind:

  1. On the form, add a hidden field that will set the value in the table that you wish to use for tracking items purchased.
  2. Create a workflow that whenever the form is submitted and it adds the record to the DB, the workflow will came back through and update the record (or create a new record in another table) to track the purchase.
