Activity Logs

Activity logs capture every meaningful community interaction — posts, edits, deletions, auth events, and more — as a structured, chronological stream. Every activity consists of a type (what happened), a version (describing the schema of its payload), an initiator (who performed the action), sometimes a recipient (who was the target of the action, e.g. the member who received an award), and a metadata payload of related entity IDs and point-in-time info (like a post title or feed label as it was when the event occurred).

​

Reading the activity log in Studio

Studio’s Activity page is the chronological record of everything that has happened in your community. Use it to answer “what happened, and when?” for a specific member or a specific day. It is not listed in the Studio sidebar. Reach it with Cmd+K and type activity, click View all activity on the Recent Activity card at the bottom of the Overview dashboard, or go straight to Activity.

​

Searching and filtering

Search matches on activity content and on the member who performed it. Three filters narrow the feed:

• Activity - the activity type. Every type listed under Activity types below can be filtered for.
• Team - include all members, only your teammates, or exclude your teammates.
• Type - humans only, all including bots, or bots only.

Sort by newest or oldest.

​

A single member’s activity

To see one member’s history instead of the whole community, open their profile from Members and use the activity tab there. It carries the same activity-type filter.

​

Activity types

Each event is tagged with an activity type that identifies what happened.

​

Metadata versioning

Every activity event carries a version number that describes the shape of its payload. When we add new fields or event types, we bump the version and publish the change on the Versions page.
