Activity That Keeps You Posted, Automatically

Your project's Activity feed now fills itself. Every update to your site or app shows up as one plain-English line, every launch comes with a link, and finished change requests, calls and documents appear as they happen. Each Monday you get a one-line summary of the week. Here is where to find it and how to read it.

Specloop release 1.285: project activity that keeps you posted automatically

You shouldn't have to ask what's happening on your project. Release 1.285 makes the Activity feed on your project fill itself, so the answer is always one glance away.

Find your Activity feed

  1. Sign in to your portal.
  2. Scroll to Activity at the bottom of your home page, or open your project and scroll to its Activity section.
  3. Read from the top. The newest entry is first, each with when it happened.
The Activity feed in the client portal listing site updates, a week in review line and documents added, each with a time and a label
The Activity feed on the portal home. The project and entries shown are examples.

New entries appear on their own. There's nothing to set up on your side.

Every update, in plain English

When our team updates your site or app, a line appears in Activity describing what changed, in words that make sense without a developer next to you: "Added a testimonials carousel and fixed the mobile navigation", not a string of technical notes.

The line is written only from what the team actually recorded for that change. When a change is too small or too technical to describe usefully, you'll see "Code updated (3 changes)" or "Behind-the-scenes improvements" rather than a guess. Anything to do with security is always described that way, on purpose.

When a change goes live, Activity says so: Deployed to production, with a link to the live site so you can see it straight away. When we notice the live site itself has changed, you'll see Site updated with the address, as in the screenshot above.

Everything else that moves your project

Activity now also records, as it happens:

  • Pins fixed. When a change you pinned in Change requests is done, you'll see "Fixed pin #12 on /pricing".
  • Calls. Each call with our team, with how long it lasted. When the summary is ready, the entry says where to find it: at the bottom of the chat, as our post on call summaries explains.
  • Documents. When our team adds a document for you.
  • Approvals. When something shared for your review is approved, or changes are requested.

A weekly summary

Every Monday morning, each project with activity the week before gets one line summing it up, like "Week in review: 5 updates, 2 deploys, 1 pin fixed". It only counts what's in your feed. A quiet week doesn't get a summary.

Tips

  • Check it before you ask. "Is the new menu live yet?" is usually answered by the latest Deployed to production or Site updated line.
  • Follow the link. A launch entry links to the live site, so you can see the change in seconds.
  • Spot something wrong? Pin it in Change requests on the exact spot, and the fix shows up here when it's done.

Frequently asked

Questions people ask about this

  • No. Our team connects your project's code and hosting on our side, and entries start appearing on their own.
