Is the updated_at field equal to the created_at field at the conversation/contact creation?

I want to search and load only new conversations/contacts.

By “new” I mean newly created and updated ones.

Can I do it only by updated_at field? For example, if the contact is created on 15.11.2023 18:00:00, will the updated_at field be the same? So I do not need to add the created_at field also

So if we assume the time boundaries are 06.11.2023 00:00:00 and 12.11.2023 00:00:00, then what I expect to see is:

• contacts that are created in this period
• AND contacts that are updated in this period (irrelevant of the fact when they were created)
