Fresh terminology for automation rules and components

An automation ‘rule’ is now a ‘flow', and a ‘component’ is now a 'step’. You may notice some inconsistencies in the documentation while we make this change. Read more about the updates in Automation

Audit the run logs of automation flows

Each time a flow is triggered, it saves a log of data that admins can audit to see when the flow was triggered, the status of its execution, and the details of each step the flow attempted to perform.

Admins can view the audit log of an individual flow, or a table of recent activity for all the flows in a space or app. This is an effective way to debug a flow.

Automation audit logs store activity from the past 90 days. Older entries are automatically deleted and can't be recovered.

To audit the activity of an individual flow:

  1. Search for a flow by name in the Flows tab, or filter the table by

    1. Flow Owner

    2. Specific actions, triggers, or advanced steps

    3. Specific labels

  2. Select the name of a flow to open it

  3. Select the Audit log button, above the Flow details

  4. Select the expand arrow on the far right to view activity of a particular run log

  5. Select the expand arrow beside each step of the flow execution to view

    1. details

    2. run times for each step of the flow

To audit the activity of all flows in the space, or all the flows in an app like Jira and Confluence:

  1. Select the Audit log tab at the top of Automation

  2. Search for a flow by name or filter the table of flows by

    1. Date & time the flow was triggered

    2. Audit log ID of a particular run log

    3. specific actions, triggers, or advanced steps

  3. Select either

    1. the Flow name to open that flow’s audit log, or

    2. the expand arrow on the far right to view activity of a particular run log

  4. Select the expand arrow beside each step of the flow execution to view

    1. details and

    2. run times for each step of the flow
