# The activity feed

See how ProductiveRecruit logs every touchpoint with a college program (emails, opens, clicks, profile views, notes, and status changes) in one place.

Every interaction you have with a college program, and every interaction a coach has with your emails or profile, gets logged automatically in your activity feed. It's the single place to answer "what's actually happened with this school?" without digging back through your inbox.

## Where to find it

A short version lives right on your dashboard: the **Recent Activity** card shows your last 10 activities as a timeline, with a **View all** link that opens the full feed (breadcrumb Dashboard > Activities).

The full feed lists everything (not just the last 10) as a table you can filter and page through.

## What gets logged

Anything you do — sending an email, adding a note, completing a task, changing a program's status — creates an entry. So does anything the *college* does in response: opening your email, clicking a link, viewing your profile, or replying. Common activity types include:

| Activity | Example description |
|---|---|
| Email Sent | "Sent an email to {Program}" |
| Email Opened | "{Program} opened an email you sent" |
| Email Link Clicked | "{Program} clicked on a link in your email" |
| Email Reply | "{Program} replied to your email" |
| Profile Viewed | "{Program} viewed your profile" |
| Profile Video Viewed | "{Program} viewed your {video} video" |
| Added Note | "Added a Note for {Program}" |
| Completed Task | "Completed a Task for {Program}" |
| Status Changed | "Changed {Program} status from {Old} to {New}" |
| Added to List | "Added {Program} to your {List} list" |
| Removed from List | "Removed {Program} from your {List} list" |
| List Changed | "Moved {Program} to your {List} list" |
| Campus Visit | "You visited the {College} campus" |
| Committed to Program | "Committed to {Program}" |

Each row in the full feed shows the **Program** (with logo), the color-coded **Type** badge shown above, and a relative **Date**. Hover either the date or a badge for the exact timestamp or full description.

## Filtering and viewing details

Use the **Filter by type** dropdown to narrow the feed to one kind of activity, handy when you just want to see every time a coach opened an email, for instance. If nothing matches, you'll see **No activities found**.

Rows for email activity (Email Sent, Opened, Link Clicked, Reply) get an extra view action: click it to open the full email conversation thread, or a read-only preview if the email isn't part of a thread. Other activity types — notes, status changes, tasks — are informational only in the feed itself; go to the program's page to act on them.

## For organizations: activity across your whole roster

If you run a club, high school, or recruiting service, your space has its own **Activity** page that rolls up every athlete's activity into one feed. It answers the question you can't answer from a dashboard number: who is actually doing the work, and which schools are responding.

The table adds an **Athlete** column to what an individual sees, so each row reads as athlete, college, type, detail, and date. Two filters sit above it:

- **Filter by athlete** to pull up one player's full history, useful right before a check-in call with them or their parents.
- **Filter by type** to see one kind of activity across everyone, like every email opened this week or every athlete who logged a campus visit.

Email rows get the same view action, so you can open the actual message an athlete sent without logging in as them.

Your [admin dashboard](/docs/organizations/admin-dashboard) also carries a **Recent Activity** card with the latest activity across your athletes, and each athlete's own profile has an activity view if you'd rather start from the person than the feed.

> **Who can see the space activity feed**
>
> Super Admins, Admins, and Coaches. Team Managers don't have access. If a Coach is restricted to their assigned teams, the feed and the athlete filter both narrow to just those athletes, so a coach never sees activity for someone outside their teams. See [Staff roles & permissions](/docs/organizations/staff-roles-and-permissions).

## Why it matters

The activity feed is where your outreach effort turns into evidence. If you're not sure whether a school has gone cold or you just haven't followed up, scroll their activity. It tells you exactly what's been sent, seen, and clicked, and when. Pair it with [opens, clicks & views explained](/docs/tracking/opens-clicks-views) to understand what actually counts as engagement, and [target list status](/docs/colleges/tracking-status) to see how activity ties into where a program sits in your pipeline.
