          You can use an onEdit(e) simple trigger.



          function onEdit(e) {
          try {
          if( e.range.getSheet().getName() === "Sheet1" ) { // Limit to a particular sheet
          if( e.range.getColumn() === 13 ) { // Limit to column M
          if( e.value ) {
          if( e.range.offset(0,1,1,1).getValue() === "" ) { // Cell is empty
          e.range.offset(0,1,1,1).setValue(new Date());
          }
          }
          }
          }
          }
          catch(err) {
          Logger.log(err);
          }
          }
