Activity log
An append-only record of everything that happens in your program — who did what, when, with human-readable details.
What gets logged
Affiliates → Logs records every meaningful event: applications and approvals, referral status changes (including fraud-review decisions and their reasons), payout state changes, coupon assignments, settings saves, and connection tests. Each entry says who did it, what changed, and when.
Entries are append-only — nothing in the log can be edited or deleted from the UI, which is precisely what makes it trustworthy. When a partner disputes a rejected referral from four months ago, the log is your answer: the referral, the hold reason, the reviewer, the date.
Reading it
Details are human-readable — friendly labels and Yes/No values, with the raw data available on hover when you need the technical view. The log paginates at 15 entries per page with numbered page buttons, and out-of-range pages snap back after filtering.
Retention & cleanup
An append-only log grows forever, so retention rules keep it honest without keeping it infinite: under the log's settings you choose how long entries live. Before any cleanup runs, the plugin writes an automatic CSV backup of what's about to be removed — so "deleted from the database" never means "gone".
Why this matters more than it looks
Programs get audited — by partners disputing amounts, by accountants closing books, and occasionally by regulators asking about disclosure enforcement. An immutable trail turns every one of those conversations from archaeology into a lookup. It's the same design principle behind the payout ledger, applied to the whole program.
