Activity log

  • All team members can open their own Activity log. It shows actions on tasks they own, follow, or were mentioned in, plus messages addressed to them.
  • Company Admins and Company Owners see the same Activity log as anyone else — it is per-user, not company-wide. For an account-wide change history, use the Audit log.
  • The Activity log is available on every plan.

Path: Top navigation > bell icon (next to the avatar) > Activity tab. Also: Bell icon > Notifications tab — same data, filtered to actions that triggered an email or in-app notification for you.

A small dot appears on the bell icon when new entries have arrived since you last opened it. The dot clears when the panel is opened.

Each row is one event with a timestamp, the actor, and the affected entity. Common event types:

  • Comments and mentions — a teammate added a comment or mentioned you with @name.
  • Task assignments and status changes — a task was assigned to you, postponed, or marked done.
  • Client Portal replies — a client replied to a task message or submitted a Client Portal request.
  • Email events — an inbound email landed on a task you follow, or an outbound email failed.
  • Vacation decisions — your vacation, absence, or flextime bonus request was approved or declined.

Click any row to jump straight to the underlying task, message, or client.

The top of the panel has two controls:

  • Type filter — narrow to one event family (Comments, Tasks, Emails, Portal, Notifications).
  • Search — type a keyword to match against task titles, client names, or comment text.

The list updates as you type. There is no date filter — the Activity log shows the most recent ~200 entries; older actions roll off automatically.

These two logs answer different questions and live in different places. See the side-by-side comparison: Activity log vs Audit log.

In short:

  • Activity log (bell icon) — what happened to me — recent actions, notifications, comments, mentions.
  • Audit log (profile menu, also on each task and client) — what changed and what was the previous value — field-level diffs across the whole account, Elite plan.

The bell icon shows no dot but there are recent actions

Section titled “The bell icon shows no dot but there are recent actions”

The dot tracks entries since your last visit per browser. If you opened the panel briefly, the dot already cleared. Open the panel and scroll — the entries are there.

A comment from a colleague doesn’t appear

Section titled “A comment from a colleague doesn’t appear”

You only see actions on tasks you own, follow, or were mentioned in. Click Follow on the task (Members section, Follow checkbox) to start receiving its activity.

Confirm the client has access to the task in the Client Portal and that the task is enabled for Portal visibility. See Client Portal task settings.

Deleted tasks remain referenced in the Activity log. Click the link — Uku shows a “deleted” placeholder with the original title. To recover the task, see Restore deleted tasks.

A Company Admin can investigate the failure in Settings & Apps > Emails > Outbox. The Outbox shows the SMTP error and lets you re-send.
