The Activity Log records every significant event across your publication — member signups, subscription changes, payment events, email activity, integration syncs, and more. It’s your audit trail for understanding exactly what happened and when.
Activity Log table with timestamp and description columns, search box, and pagination

​
The events table

The Activity Log displays events in a paginated table, sorted newest first:
ColumnDescription
TimestampWhen the event occurred. Sortable — click to toggle ascending/descending order.
DescriptionA human-readable summary of what happened (e.g., “Member john@example.com subscribed to Premium tier”).
The table loads 10 events per page. Use the page controls at the bottom to navigate through your event history.

​
Searching events

Use the search box at the top of the table to filter events by keyword. Results appear after you submit your query. You can search for:
  • An email address (e.g., john@example.com)
  • An action type (e.g., subscribed, cancelled, payment)
  • A tier name or other detail mentioned in event descriptions

​

​
FAQ

The Activity Log keeps events for 180 days. After that, they are no longer searchable. For permanent event storage, use the BigQuery integration to stream events to your data warehouse.
Currently, the Activity Log supports keyword search across all event types. Type a keyword like “subscribed” or “payment” in the search box to narrow results to a specific category.
The Activity Log itself isn’t exportable from the UI. For raw event data, connect BigQuery to stream events to your data warehouse.
Events appear in the log as they happen. Most events show up within seconds, but some — like payment events from Stripe or member updates from Ghost — may take a moment to arrive.
