Use the Activity Feed to Track Automation Output

Learn how to view all automation activity, including connection requests, messages, InMails and failures.

Written by Terence Cassidy

🗝️ The Activity Feed provides full visibility into every action performed by an automation. It helps users understand what was sent, when it was sent and whether the action succeeded or failed.

⚠️ Important: Reviewing the Activity Feed is the fastest way to diagnose issues with message delivery or unexpected behaviour.

Access the Activity Feed

  1. Open an automation (you must be inside the individual automation, not viewing the main Automations list) and click the Activity tab at the top of the page.

  2. View chronological entries for connection requests, follow-ups, InMails and emails.

  3. Check whether each action shows as Sent, Pending, or Failed.

📌 Note: The Activity tab only appears when you have opened a specific automation. It is not visible from the main Automations list view. If you cannot see the tab, make sure you have clicked into the automation itself.

Filter Activity

  1. Use filters to show specific action types such as Requests, Messages, Replies, or Errors.

  2. Filter by Accepted Connections to find warm leads easily.

  3. Filter by Failed Actions to identify common issues.

Use Activity Logs for Troubleshooting

  1. Check the most recent activity to confirm when the automation last ran.

  2. Review error messages for clues such as invalid LinkedIn URLs or unsupported actions.

  3. Compare activity timestamps with schedule settings to ensure correct timing.

💡 Best Practices

  • Encourage consultants to check activity daily during active outreach campaigns.

  • Use error filters to quickly isolate issues for troubleshooting.

  • Cross-check activity with the Leads List to understand each profile’s journey.

🤔 FAQs

Q1: Why is there no recent activity even though the automation is active?
Answer: It may be outside the scheduled run window, or the first run may still be pending.

Q2: Can users replay failed activities?
Answer: Support teams should avoid replaying failed actions and escalate persistent issues to development.

Q3: I can't see the Activity tab — where is it?
Answer: The Activity tab only appears when you are inside an individual automation. Navigate to Automations, click on the specific automation you want to check, and the Activity tab will appear at the top of that automation's page.
