How to use audit log feature for workflows?

WEXTL® Audit log records every change across your organization - workflow edits in the builder [4], credential rotations, member invites and removals. Each change is one readable row: who did it, what they did, to which item, and when.

WEXTL® keeps the Audit log next to the rest of your features. When a workflow starts failing, run history [1] shows what the run did, Analytics [2] shows when usage moved, and the Audit log shows what changes were applied to automations recently.

What makes the Audit log useful for ops and security?

Built to answer "who changed this?" in one place - while run history [1] answers "what did it do?". Here are 4 things customers value [3] it for.

One feed for everything

Workflows, credentials, members, folders - one Activity feed, not an export per item type.

Clear attribution

Every row names the teammate - or WEXTL Support - who made the change.

Jump to the item

Open the workflow, credential, or invite straight from the row.

Role-aware

Admins see the full feed; members only see items their role already allows.

How does WEXTL record changes in the organization?

Every change goes through the same 3 steps - from a teammate's click to a row an admin can find later. Nothing to turn on: the Audit log starts filling in with your team's first edits [3].

How to detect changes made to the workflow before it started failing?

A workflow that ran fine for weeks fails at 6am. Run history [1] shows which node broke. Audit log can show why - a shared credential was rotated at 11pm the night before, or the workflow was updated by somebody from the team. Two records, one answer [3].

Every row reads as a sentence - "John rotated the Stripe credential", "Max moved Onboarding Workflow to other folder" - clear, visible data. Timestamp is displayed correct time in your organization timezone - this give you info to align timestamp in an incident ticket.

The same trick works for cost. When the Analytics [2] chart jumps on a Tuesday, filter the Audit log to workflows and look for that day - a shorter schedule interval or a newly published workflow usually [3] are the root cause.

How to use the Audit log for access reviews?

Membership removal, invite revocation, and credential rotation are each their own row with a name and a timestamp. When a teammate leaves, you can show the order things happened in - instead of trusting memory.

When WEXTL support works inside your org with your permission - restarting a stuck run, fixing a misconfigured webhook - that row is marked as WEXTL Support, never merged into a teammate's history. Vendor actions and your own team's actions stay apart.

A busy org has a long feed. Tabs for workflows and members, a filter for other item types and actions, and a search box get you to the one change that mattered - older activity loads on demand, so a year of history stays fast.
