Activity Log (Change Log)

Overview​

The Activity Log provides a complete, chronological overview of everything that happens inside your 42feeds account. It helps you understand what actions were taken, when they occurred, and what the outcome was.

The Activity Log is especially useful for:

  • Tracking imports and exports
  • Verifying successful operations
  • Debugging unexpected results
  • Understanding recent changes in your project
  • Keeping visibility when working with automated schedules

Where to Find It​

You can access the Activity Log from the main navigation.

URL: /activity

The page shows the most recent activity first and updates as new actions occur.

What Gets Tracked​

The Activity Log records all important actions and system events across your projects, including:

  • Feed imports
  • Export generation and deletion
  • Mapping and template changes
  • Transformation rule updates
  • Scheduled jobs
  • Project-level changes
  • System events related to processing

Each entry gives you context about what happened and whether it succeeded or failed.

Understanding an Activity Entry​

Each activity entry contains the following information:

  • Title A short, human-readable summary of what happened.

  • Description Additional context about the action, when available.

  • Status Indicates whether the action was completed successfully, failed, started, deleted, enabled, or disabled.

  • Timestamp Shows when the event occurred using a relative time format (for example: "2 hours ago").

  • Details Helpful contextual information such as filenames, row counts, or affected resources.

Using Filters​

The Activity Log includes simple tools to help you focus on relevant events:

  • Category Filter Filter entries by category such as Imports, Exports, or Rules.

  • Entry Limit Choose how many entries to display at once (25, 50, 100, or more).

  • Refresh Reload the log to fetch the most recent activity.

Typical Use Cases​

Checking Import Status​

Confirm whether a feed import completed successfully and how many products were processed.

Verifying Exports​

Ensure an export was generated before submitting it to an advertising platform.

Debugging Issues​

Identify failed operations and understand what happened before an error occurred.

Monitoring Automated Jobs​

Track scheduled imports and exports to make sure automation is running as expected.

Reviewing Recent Changes​

See what changed in a project, especially useful when multiple adjustments were made in a short time.

Best Practices​

  • Check the Activity Log after major imports or exports
  • Review failed events immediately to avoid outdated or incomplete feeds
  • Use the log before submitting feeds to advertising platforms
  • Regularly monitor automated schedules to ensure consistency
  • Use timestamps to correlate changes with observed issues

Limitations​

  • Activity entries are read-only and cannot be edited
  • There is currently no search within the Activity Log
  • The log shows all relevant system activity, even if no action is required
  • Older entries may be grouped behind pagination or limits
  • Imports – Bring product data into 42feeds
  • Exports – Generate channel-ready product feeds
  • Transformation Rules – Modify and optimize your data
  • Items View – Inspect and diagnose individual products
  • Schedules – Automate imports and exports
