Explanations for Origin within timeline events' logs

For reference, you can find the Origin of the timeline log inside the pop-up you are being presented with after clicking on the timeline log in customer's profile. See screenshot below for clarity:

Origin specifies where the event was triggered from, helping you understand who/what caused the event to occur for that customer. Here are the meanings behind different origin codes within timeline events

  • CLI - event was triggered by Subbly's software. This will include automations, and other product setup settings that are supposed to be triggered automatically.
  • Account - event was triggered by a corresponding choice made within the customer portal, and it is likely that the customer was responsible for the event. If an admin logs into customer portal themselves and performs certain actions, those events will show origin as 'account' as well.
  • Checkout - event was a result of the customer completing checkout
  • Admin - event was triggered by making changes manually within the admin dashboard.
