The activity feed streams every recordable action in the workspace as it happens: phase changes, task completions, comments, integration syncs, and audit events. The default scope is “your assigned customers,” which keeps the feed relevant on a busy morning. Switch the scope from the title bar when you want broader context.
A typical workflow goes like this. You come back from a long weekend, open the Workbench, and the Activity widget shows the 200 things that changed across your accounts since Friday. You skim the feed top-down. A phase changed: Integration > UAT on Acme Corp event catches your eye. You click it, land on the Acme onboarding, comment on the UAT plan, and move on. That round trip takes under a minute, and the comment posts back into the feed for the rest of your team.
The feed has a scope dropdown in its title bar with five options:
owner, or onboardings where you are csm (the default)Click Filter inside the feed to narrow further. The available event types:
customer.created, customer.status_changed, customer.archivedonboarding.created, onboarding.phase_changed, onboarding.state_changed, onboarding.launchedtask.completed, task.created, task.due_date_changed, task.reassignedcomment.posted, comment.mentioned_youintegration.sync_failed, integration.sync_succeededThe mentioned_you event surfaces in the feed with a yellow left-border and a count chip in the widget header. Use it as your inbox replacement for in-app mentions.
Three places, same underlying stream:
The Customer and Onboarding tabs ignore the global scope; they always show the full event history for that record, regardless of your assignment.
Pivotal keeps activity events for 18 months. After that, events fall off the feed but stay accessible in the per-record audit log, which has a 7-year retention. If you need a longer feed for compliance reasons, set up a webhook and store events in your own system.
Integration sync events flood the feed when a CRM connector is first wired up. The initial sync can fire thousands of integration.sync_succeeded events. Filter the event type list to hide integration.* for the first 24 hours after connecting HubSpot or Stripe, then re-enable.
