Account Activities Export

What is Activity Logging?

Activity logging provides you critical insight into who within your Recurly site does what, when. For example, when you need to know what specific user updated an account’s email address, or who started a new subscription for a customer, you can leverage that data from the activity log.

Where can I access Activities?

Activity logging is viewable at the account level on specific customer accounts, as well as at the site level which is accessible via the Admin section of Recurly App on the "Admin Exports" page.

How can I obtain an Account Activities Export?

While activities can be viewed for specific customers on each of their account pages, they can also be gathered at the site-wide level in the Admin section. Under “Admin Exports” on the left-hand navigation panel, you can select the "Account Activities" button to begin viewing your activity logging data. The same data that is included on individual account pages is available in a single comprehensive view
