Dynamics newbie - workflow to update modifiedon date of parent?

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm a web developer and have built a site for a client that interfaces with a Dynamics 2011 (IFD) deployment.

I have this largely working - but have stumbled across a problem now it's live and using real data.

The SOAP API calls from the website use a 'RetrieveMultiple' and criteria to find 'Contact' records modified or created since the last time the API successfully ran - then the data is cached on the server. The request also brings some data back from a custom 'Membership' entity which links from the contact. 

This all works great until my client threw a curveball. 

Sometimes they update just the membership record and not the parent 'Contact' so my API call does not see these changes. 

Rather than re-writing lots of the the code doing the API work - I'm trying to see if there's an easy way to use a workflow or similar magic in the Dynamics system so that if a membership update happens it forces the modifiedon date of the contact record to update.

Doable?

Appreciate any help :)

Steve
