How to export Logs
What to prepare
At minimum, you need access to Logs — company activity log (Owner or Admin). The quality of the export depends on your preparation:
Decide exactly what you need. The entire log? One month? Actions by a single admin? The filters depend on the answer.
Apply filters — see How to filter Logs. Without them, you will get the entire log for all time — this is usually excessive.
Prepare where you will upload the CSV — Excel, Google Sheets, or BI, so you don’t download it “for later”.
Steps
1. Apply filters
To export only some events, configure filters before clicking Export. The file will include exactly the same selection that is visible in the table.
If you do not apply filters, the export will include the entire log for all time. For a large company, this can be tens of thousands of rows. Before clicking Export, make sure the table shows the selection you need.
2. Click Export CSV
The button is above the table. The file will start being generated.

3. Wait for the download
Downloading takes a few seconds. It takes longer for large logs.
What you should get
A CSV with all events matching the current filters. Without filters, the entire log for all time.
What’s inside the CSV
The same fields as in the table in the interface:
Column | What it shows |
Event | Event type ( user.invite, role.change) |
User | Who performed the action — email |
Object | Object type and its identifier |
Details | Text description of the change |
Timestamp | Date and time in UTC |
Usage examples
Internal quarterly report
HR collects a report on team growth once a quarter. Filters: Object: user, Time: quarter. Export CSV → Google Sheets → count invitations.
External security audit
The auditor requests the log for the past six months. Time: Last 6 months, do not narrow by Object. Export CSV → send to the auditor.
Long-term archive
Storage in Chatterfy is reliable, but for compliance, create an independent copy: once a month, export the month’s data to secure storage.
