Automation Activity Log

If you've ever wanted to gain more insight into your automation activity, the Automation Activity Log is for you. Keep track of all of your automations with the Automation Activity Log!

What is it?

When an automation is triggered, you will have the ability to keep track of any actions or outcomes on the Automation Activity Log. This log will show you if the automation was successful or unsuccessful. If successful, the log will give you insight into when the automation ran.

Note: The automation activity log only tracks the past 7-days worth of data or up to 500 automation runs, depending on whichever happens first.

Opening the log

There are three ways to view your automation activity. You can view all activities for a particular automation recipe or all activities on your board via the Automation Center or the Board Activity Log.

Individual Recipe Log

To view all activities related to a particular recipe, go to the "Automate" section of your board:

Select the "Board Automations" tab, navigate to the recipe you want to view and click on the three-dot menu. From the menu, select "Automation Activity":

This view will give you insight into the activity related to this automation. You'll see every instance, including the date and time, where this automation ran. The log also displays whether or not the automation ran successfully, the name of the board, and the full automation recipe.

Automations Center

To access the activity log within the Automations Center, navigate to the top of the board and click on the word "Automate":

Next, click on the "Board Automations" tab and then the "Board Activity" button:

From there, you will see a list of all of the automations that have run on your board. The list will show the date and time that the automation ran, whether or not the automation ran successfully, the name of the board, and the automation recipe:

Board Activity Log

To access the Automation Activity Log, navigate to the top of the board and click on the word "Activity" to open the full Board Activity Log:

Next, click on the words "Automations Activity":

This will open the Automations Activity Log. There you will see a list of all of the automations that have run on your board. The list will show the date and time that the automation ran, whether or not the automation ran successfully, the name of the board, and the automation recipe:

Navigating the log

The Automation Activity Log has a few features that should make navigating the activities easier.

Related Item

Select the carrot to the right of an activity to view the item related to the activity:

Note: This will provide details on the item that triggered the automation. If a change in an item did not trigger the automation, you will see an error message. For example, if "Every time period" is the trigger of your automation, you will see this message: "Item information unavailable. Click here to learn more."

Log Filter

To view unsuccessful automation runs, use the dropdown menu under "Status" to filter your board.
