The Activity log shows what ClearSpend is doing in real time — uploads parsing, invoices matching, and integration syncs.

When to use it

  • You just uploaded files and want to know when they’ll appear on Subscriptions
  • An integration Sync now finished and you want to confirm results
  • A charge shows Pending reconciliation and you want to see match attempts

Open Activity

WhereBest for
Header → Activity Log iconQuick peek while working; opens the grouped drawer

Subscriptions → View logsAfter a bulk upload on the subscriptions page
Activity page with All, Subscriptions, Transactions, Groups, and Documents tabs

List and By Subscription views

Use the toggle in the top-right to switch how activity is organised:
ViewWhat it shows
ListA flat, chronological table of every event. Filter tabs (below) let you narrow by entity type.
By SubscriptionActivity grouped under each subscription. Expand a row to see that vendor’s full timeline.
List is best when you want to scan recent events across the whole workspace. By Subscription is best when you’re investigating one vendor’s history.

Filter tabs

In List view, five tabs narrow the table without leaving the page:
TabWhat it shows
AllEvery activity event — subscriptions, transactions, groups, and documents
SubscriptionsNew detections, updates, and subscription-level events (e.g. auto-detected from a card statement)
TransactionsCharge and invoice matching — when a document is linked to a payment
GroupsEvents where subscriptions were merged or grouped under a parent
DocumentsUpload, parse, and processing events for individual files
