Audit logs for Action Flows

In the Celonis Platform, you can request a CSV file of your Action Flow execution logs. You can choose to download all your Action Flow execution logs or you can filter by time period, associated applications or for specific Action Flows, as well as whether or not to include the input/output bundles of all single Action executions in the download.

When the file is ready to be downloaded, you will be provided a link via email. This download link is valid for seven days, after which you must request a new download.

You can request a maximum of two downloads every 10 minutes.

  1. In the Celonis Platform, go to Admin & Settings and then click "Audit Logs" in the Admin section.

  2. On the Audit Logs screen, click the blue Download button in the upper right and select "Download Action Flow Execution Logs (.csv)" from the dropdown.
