What is the activity feed?

Keep a pulse on the everyday activities happening in your business and stay on top of who is doing what, when, and where.

Activity feed is available on the Connect and Grow plans. View our current pricing plans.

From the activity feed view what is happening in your Jobber account as it happens. With updates regarding quotes, visits, invoices, jobs, payments, and notes you can see what your team is up to while they are out in the field. No more wondering if a note was left!

Activity feed shows the most recent 100 notifications when unfiltered. You can add additional toggles to activity feed to narrow down which items are shown out of those 100 items. 

The notification preferences are remembered for each admin user. This means that different admins can have different preferences for the kinds of notifications they see by default when they open the activity feed.
