Activity API guide
The Activity API lets you push custom activity from any external application into Dailybot. Use it to track work from tools that don’t have a native Dailybot integration — activity is displayed in check-in reports alongside data from other integrations.
Billing requirement: Your organization must have a billing plan that supports APIs and integrations to use the Activity API.
Getting started
- Go to Dailybot Settings → Integrations → Activity API
- Copy your unique Activity Hook URL
- Use this URL as the target for POST requests from your application
POST request
Send a POST request with Content-Type: application/json to your Activity Hook URL.
Request fields
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
custom_type | string | Yes | Activity identifier (max 128 characters). Used to categorize the activity type. |
message | string | Yes | Activity details text shown in the report. |
link | string | No | URL that becomes clickable in Dailybot reports. |
user_email | string | No | Email of the Dailybot user to attribute the activity to. Use this or user_uuid. |

Activity tracking in reports
- Open the check-in settings for the check-in you want to enhance
- Go to Sharing → Advanced Options
- Enable Activity tracking
Activity logged within 24 hours before a check-in response through the end of that day appears as an automatically added column in reports.
Use cases
- Deployments — Log deployment events with version and environment details
- Support tickets — Track resolved support tickets per team member
- Design tools — Push activity from Figma, Sketch, or other design tools
- Custom scripts — Integrate with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, or internal tools
- Zapier / Make — Use the Activity Hook URL as a webhook destination in automation platforms
