Audit log Live
The workspace audit log is the permanent record of administrative actions: agent invitations, role changes, department CRUD, conversation force-transfers, workspace settings updates, suppression edits, and subscription changes. Admin-only.
List audit entries
Cursor-paginated, newest first. Only two query params: limit (1 to 200, default 50) and cursor (the opaque nextCursor from the previous page). There is no server-side filter by action, actor, or date range yet; filter client-side on the returned action and actorAgentId fields.

}Tracked actions
| Action prefix | Examples |
|---|---|
agent. | agent.invited, agent.role_changed, agent.deleted (deactivation), agent.reset_password |
department. | department.created, department.deleted, department.members_changed |
workspace. | workspace.updated, workspace.delete, workspace.domain_verified, workspace.sms_block |
subscription. | subscription.changed, subscription.trial_extended |
conversation. | conversation.force_transferred |
suppression. | suppression.removed |
phone_number. | phone_number.claimed, phone_number.purchased, phone_number.released, phone_number.updated |
business_hours_rule. | business_hours_rule.created, business_hours_rule.updated, business_hours_rule.deleted |
Retention
- Default: 365 days of audit entries.
- Enterprise plans: unlimited retention, with export to your own SIEM.
- Soft-delete: deleted records are tombstoned for 30 days before garbage collection.
The audit log is append-only at the API level. There is no edit or delete endpoint. If you need to redact a free-form field (e.g., a customer name in a transfer note), open a support ticket.
Not available yet: there is no export endpoint. Paginate the list endpoint with limit/cursor to build your own snapshot for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audits.
Errors
| Code | When |
|---|---|
403 admin_required | Agent role is not admin. |
400 invalid_query | limit or cursor failed validation. |
Common pitfalls
- Treating audit as analytics. Use Reports for volume / performance. Audit is for compliance and security review.
- Expecting server-side filters. There is no
action,actorAgentId, or date-range filter. Page through and filter client-side. - Forgetting the actor. System-triggered events (auto-suspension, webhook-driven changes) carry
actorAgentId: null.
