Audit log & activity history

See who changed a contact or a lead, and when. The audit log keeps a running record of every create, update and delete on your contacts and leads, so “why does this look different?” has an answer.
Start here

The 60-second version

Every time a contact or a lead is created, edited or deleted, Exabloom writes one entry: who did it, what they did, when, and, for edits, the value before and after. You can read those entries in two places:

  • Settings → Audit Logs - every entry across the workspace, in one filterable list. You need a role that includes it.
  • Activity on a record - open a contact or a lead and click the Last edited by line to see just that record’s history in a side drawer.
Good to know
Both views start by showing only changes made by people. Edits made by workflows, the API and bulk actions are one click away, but hidden until you ask. That default catches almost everyone out, so it comes up again below.
The model

What gets recorded

The log is narrower than its name suggests. It records changes to contacts and leads, and nothing else: not messages, not settings, not edits to pipelines, tags or workflows themselves.

  • On a contact: first and last name, email, phone number, Messenger, Instagram and Telegram IDs, custom fields and tags.
  • On a lead: title, stage, pipeline, owner, custom fields and tags.
  • Every entry has an action. CREATE, UPDATE and DELETE for edits, plus SHARE_CONTEXT and REVOKE_CONTEXT when a contact’s context is shared with, or taken back from, another workspace.
  • Every entry has an actor. A User, a Workflow, the API, or a Bulk Action. So “nobody touched it” often turns out to be “a workflow touched it”.
Settings

Open the Audit Logs page

The page is two clicks from anywhere. Whether you see it depends on your role: Audit Logs only appears in Settings if your role includes Settings > Audit Log, so if it’s missing, ask an admin (see Roles & permissions).

① The filters. ② A note that only some actors are showing (it is there by default). ③ The table, newest entry first, ten to a page. ④ Previous and Next.

The Settings column is gone on this page, and that is deliberate: the page takes the full width so the table has room. Use the Back button top left to return to Settings. Refresh top right reloads the list, which does not update on its own while you have it open.

Each row answers one question per column. Here is a single row at full size:

① When, in your workspace’s time zone. ② What was done, and to which kind of record. ③ Whose record it is: for a lead, the name and number of its contact. ④ Who did it. ⑤ What moved, old value in red and struck through, new value in green.

Who did it

The Modified By column shows an icon, a name and a coloured type tag. A workflow’s name is a link that opens that workflow in a new tab, which is the fastest way to answer “which automation did this?”.

What changed

The Changes column reads differently depending on the action. Note the field names: the log shows them as the system stores them, so a name change reads firstName and a phone change reads nationalNumber.

SHARE_CONTEXTShared context with Bright Minds Orchard
① An update lists each field old to new, custom fields under their own heading, then tags added (+) and removed (-). ② A create or delete has no diff, only a link to a snapshot. ③ An update that only touched something the log does not track. ④ Sharing context between workspaces reads as a sentence.

Open a snapshot

A create or a delete has nothing to compare, so the row gives you a link instead: View snapshot for a create, View deleted contact or View deleted lead for a delete. It opens a small dialog with the record as it was: name, phone, and for a lead its pipeline, stage and title, plus any custom fields. For a delete, this is how you find out what was lost.

ApplyThe list only changes when you click Apply. The funnel icon (Clear Filters) puts everything back to the default.
① Pick Contact or Lead, then search by name or number to pick a person; the list appears once you type two characters, and you can pick several. ② A date range, from the start of the first day to the end of the last, in your workspace’s time zone. ③ Actor, a checklist that starts on User only. ④ Apply runs the filters; the funnel icon clears them.
  • Nothing changes until you click Apply. Picking a date or an actor only stages the change.
  • The Actor list always keeps at least one box ticked. To see everything, click Select all, or click Show all actors in the note under the filter bar.
  • To follow one person’s record, filter by Contact. To read one lead’s history, use its Activity drawer instead (below).
On a record

One record’s history

You don’t need Settings to check a single record. Open a contact or a lead and look just under the header of its side panel: a thin line says who last edited it and how long ago.

The drawer at full size. Each entry has the person, the time (hover it for the full date), and the same old-to-new diff as the page. A create or delete reads “created this lead”.

A contact and a lead keep separate histories: editing someone’s email shows on the contact, moving their lead to a new stage shows on the lead. If the entry you expect is missing, check you opened the right one.

Good to know & pitfalls

  • It answers “who changed this?”, not “undo this”. The log is read-only. To revert a change, make the edit yourself.
  • The default hides automations. Both the page and the drawer start on User only. If a field changed and no teammate did it, tick the other actors.
  • Clear Filters is not “show everything”. It resets to the default, which is User only.
  • Only contacts and leads. Changes to settings, pipelines, templates or workflows are not in here.
  • Deleted records keep their name. The entry stores a copy of the contact’s name and number, so a delete row still says who it was.
  • “No tracked changes” means the edit only touched something the log does not record. It is not an error.
  • Access is by role. The Audit Logs page needs Settings > Audit Log in the person’s role.
