To do this, just enter the subscriberId or the ‘email’ of the subscriber you want to get info of and then click the ‘search’ button on the right-hand side as shown in the image below:

Filter by workflow or channel

The activity feed allows you to filter messages based on the associated workflow or channel. This is helpful when you want to assess or debug a particular workflow and its behaviour.

Filtering by workflow or channel is quite simple. Just go to the Workflow dropdown (if you want to filter by workflow) or the channel tab (if you want to filter by channel) and select the corresponding workflow or channel and click the ‘search’ button on the right-hand side as shown in the image below:

Troubleshooting with the activity feed

The activity feed also shows if a transaction is failing. You can see why a transaction is failing and rectify it. For example, take a look at the following image:
