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 ## The events table The Activity Log displays events in a paginated table, sorted newest first: | Column | Description | | --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Timestamp** | When the event occurred. Sortable — click to toggle ascending/descending order. | | **Description** | A human-readable summary of what happened (e.g., "Member [john@example.com](mailto:john@example.com) subscribed to Premium tier"). | The table loads 15 events per page. Use the page controls at the bottom to navigate through your event history, or the search at the top: *** ## Searching events Keywork Search 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 *** ## Event types The Activity Log captures events across all areas of your publication: | Category | Example events | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Member lifecycle** | Member created, free-to-monthly conversion, free-to-annual conversion, monthly-to-annual upgrade, email changed, member deleted, spam filter deletion | | **Subscriptions** | Subscription created, prorated, or deleted; member cancelled paid; member continued (reactivated) paid | | **Renewals** | Monthly renewal, annual renewal | | **Payments** | Stripe events, payment source attached, payment source updated | | **Comps & gifts** | Complimentary subscription granted, group subscription added or removed | | **Email** | Email sent, email opened, retention email sent, email flow triggered, rules engine flow triggered | | **Labels** | Label added to member, label removed from member | | **Promotions** | Promotion checkout started, promotion checkout completed, offer URL clicked | | **Donations** | Donation checkout started, donation checkout completed | | **CTAs & paywalls** | Gated PDF download, gated PDF signup, paywall signup, paywall paid conversion | | **Integrations** | TransistorFM subscribe/unsubscribe/email change, FeedPress subscribe/unsubscribe, HubSpot contact created/deleted, Salesforce contact created/updated, Shopify customer created/updated, Supercast subscribe/unsubscribe, Webflow member created, ConvertFlow member created, Cascade PBS action, custom integration member added/updated/deleted | | **Campaigns** | Email campaign started, email campaign ended | | **Events & webinars** | Webinar registered/cancelled, Ghost event registered/cancelled | | **Contact forms** | Contact form submission received | | **System** | System events and administrative actions | *** ## Data retention Events in the Activity Log are kept for **180 days**.

For permanent event storage, use the [BigQuery integration](/integrations/bigquery) 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](/integrations/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.
