Workflow Activity Stream

Overview​

The Activities tab in Workflow Automation provides a detailed execution log of all workflow runs.

Whenever a workflow is triggered and executed, an activity entry is automatically created. This helps track execution history, monitor success or failure.

Each activity represents one workflow execution.

What Information Is Displayed​

Each workflow activity entry includes:

  • Workflow Name – The name of the workflow that was executed
  • Date & Time – When the workflow was triggered
  • Status – Execution result (Success or Failed)
  • Triggered On – The task on which the workflow was triggered

This gives complete visibility into when, how, and on what item the automation was executed.
