site-activity

Site Activity

Query, analyze, and summarize Webflow site activity logs for enterprise sites. Provides natural-language querying of recent changes, filtered summaries by event type or user, and formatted reports for team sharing.

Important Note

ALWAYS use Webflow MCP tools for all operations:

• Use Webflow MCP's data_sites_tool with action list_sites for listing available sites
• Use Webflow MCP's data_sites_tool with action get_site for detailed site information
• Use Webflow MCP's data_enterprise_tool with action list_site_activity_logs for retrieving activity log events
• Use Webflow MCP's webflow_guide_tool to get best practices before starting
• DO NOT use any other tools or methods for Webflow operations
• All tool calls must include the required context parameter (15-25 words, third-person perspective)

Enterprise Only: Activity logs are only available for sites on Enterprise hosting plans. If the tool returns an error, inform the user that this feature requires an Enterprise plan.

Tool Parameters for list_site_activity_logs:

• site_id (required): The site's unique identifier
• limit (optional): Maximum records to return (max 100)
• offset (optional): Pagination offset for fetching beyond the first page

Instructions

Phase 1: Site Selection & Context

1. Identify target site: If the user does not provide a site ID, use data_sites_tool with action list_sites. Each site in the response has displayName, lastPublished, and lastUpdated.

   Sort order:

   1. ⚠️ sites (unpublished changes) before ✅ sites (up to date)
   2. Within each group, most recently updated first (by lastUpdated descending)

   Truncation: Show the top 10 sites only. If there are more than 10 total, append a line …and N more sites. Reply "show all" to see the rest. below the list. When the user replies "show all" (or similar), re-present the full list in the same format.

   Present the list in this exact format:

   📋 Site Activity — Site Selection
    
   Available Enterprise Sites:
    
   1. <Site Name> ⚠️  — last published <short date>, updated <short date> (<N> days unpublished)
   2. <Site Name> ✅  — published & updated <short date>
   3. <Site Name> ⚠️  — never published, updated <short date>
    
   …and 4 more sites. Reply "show all" to see the rest.
    
   Which site would you like to review?

   Format rules:

   • Dates: abbreviated ("Mar 6", "Apr 14"). Add the year only if it isn't the current year.
   • Use ⚠️ when lastUpdated > lastPublished OR lastPublished is null; ✅ when lastUpdated <= lastPublished.
   • When lastPublished == lastUpdated, collapse the right-hand side to "published & updated ".
   • Omit the "…and N more sites" line when the workspace has 10 or fewer sites.
   • Do not omit the status flag or the dates — they are required for every site.

2. Fetch selected-site details: After the user selects a site (or when a site ID was provided up front), call data_sites_tool with action get_site once, for the selected site only, to retrieve fields not returned by list_sites — in particular:

   • Custom domains
   • Locale / localization settings
   • Any additional site metadata needed for the analysis

   lastPublished and lastUpdated are already known from step 1 (or from get_site if the user provided a site ID directly). Keep these in memory for the pre-publish filter in Phase 3.

3. Infer intent from the prompt (do not ask a follow-up question if the prompt is clear). Map the request to one of:

   • Recent activity summary ("what changed this week?")
   • Specific user's activity ("what did Sarah change?")
   • Specific activity type ("any CMS changes recently?")
   • Pre-publish review ("what's changed since last publish?")
   • General overview (default when the prompt is ambiguous)

   Only ask a clarifying question if the request is genuinely ambiguous (e.g., "show me activity" with no time window, user, or event type context).

Phase 2: Fetch Activity Logs

4. Fetch activity logs: Use list_site_activity_logs with the site ID
   • Default to limit: 100 (maximum per request) for comprehensive results
   • The API returns events in reverse chronological order (newest first)
5. Handle pagination: If the user needs older activity or the results suggest more data exists:
   • Use offset parameter to fetch additional pages
   • Combine results across pages for analysis
   • Warn the user if going back further than available data

Phase 3: Analysis & Summarization

6. Parse each activity log entry: Each event contains:

   • id: Unique event identifier
   • createdOn: Timestamp (ISO 8601)
   • lastUpdated: Last update timestamp
   • event: Event type string (see Event Types below)
   • user: Object with id and displayName (absent for system events like backups)
   • resourceOperation: The operation performed (CREATED, MODIFIED, DELETED)
   • resourceId: ID of the affected resource (when applicable)
   • resourceName: Human-readable name of the affected resource
   • payload: Additional event-specific details (see Payload Details below)

7. Categorize events into human-readable groups (41 event types):

   Page Changes:

   • page_dom_modified — Page structure/element changes
   • page_created — New page creation
   • page_deleted — Page deletion
   • page_duplicated — Page duplication
   • page_renamed — Page rename
   • page_settings_modified — Page settings updates (SEO, slug, etc.)
   • page_custom_code_modified — Page-level custom code changes
   • page_settings_custom_code_modified — Page settings custom code changes

   Style & Variable Changes:

   • styles_modified — Style/class changes
   • variable_modified — Single variable change
   • variables_modified — Multiple variable changes

   Component Changes:

   • symbols_modified — Component/symbol created, modified, or deleted

   Interactions:

   • ix2_modified_on_page — Interaction changes on a page
   • ix2_modified_on_component — Interaction changes on a component
   • ix2_modified_on_class — Interaction changes on a class

   CMS Changes:

   • cms_item — Collection item created, modified, or deleted
   • cms_collection — Collection schema created, modified, or deleted

   Site Management:

   • site_published — Site published
   • site_unpublished — Site unpublished
   • site_custom_code_modified — Site-level custom code changes
   • backup_created — Automatic or manual backup
   • backup_restored — Backup restored

   Localization:

   • secondary_locale_page_content_modified — Localized page content changed
   • locale_added — New locale added
   • locale_removed — Locale removed
   • locale_enabled — Locale enabled
   • locale_disabled — Locale disabled
   • locale_display_name_updated — Locale display name changed
   • locale_subdirectory_updated — Locale subdirectory changed
   • locale_tag_updated — Locale tag changed

   Branches:

   • branch_created — Branch created
   • branch_merged — Branch merged
   • branch_deleted — Branch deleted
   • branch_review_created — Branch review requested
   • branch_review_approved — Branch review approved
   • branch_review_canceled — Branch review canceled

   Library:

   • library_shared — Library shared with other sites
   • library_unshared — Library unshared
   • library_installed — Library installed from another site
   • library_uninstalled — Library uninstalled
   • library_update_shared — Library update published
   • library_update_accepted — Library update accepted

   Note: If an event type not listed above appears, categorize it as "Other" and display the raw event string.

8. Apply filters based on user's request:

   • By event category (e.g., only CMS changes)
   • By user (match on user.displayName)
   • By time window (filter createdOn timestamps client-side)
   • By resource (match on resourceName)
   • Pre-publish review: When the user wants to see changes since the last publish, use the site's lastPublished timestamp (from Phase 1) and filter to events where createdOn > lastPublished. If lastPublished is null (never published), all events qualify as unpublished.

9. Generate insights (include in the Highlights section of the report):

   • Most active user in the time period
   • Event type distribution (which category dominated)
   • Busiest day or hour
   • Single-user concentration (flag when one person made 40%+ of changes)
   • Unpublished changes (count of events where createdOn > lastPublished)

Phase 4: Reporting

10. Generate summary report with these sections:

    • Time range covered and total event count
    • Breakdown by activity type
    • Breakdown by user
    • Highlights — call out patterns such as high-frequency changes to a single page/collection, multiple users editing the same resource, unpublished changes (since last publish), and system events vs. user-initiated changes

11. Answer the user's specific question: If the user asked something specific, lead with the direct answer before the structured report.

12. Pick the detail level from the prompt:

    • "counts only" / "how many" / "just numbers" → Quick summary (counts by category only)
    • default → Standard report (categorized events with user attribution — see Example 1)
    • "walk me through" / "show every change" / "timeline" → Detailed report (chronological per-event view with payload)
    • "share" / "export" / "for my team" / "summary to send" → Shareable/Export report (see Example 3)

    The detail-level switch is always surfaced as one of the follow-up options in step 13 so the user can request a different level.

13. Always end every report with a follow-up options section. This is required, not optional. Use the exact format below, tailoring the numbered options to what's relevant for the query just answered:

    ---
     
    Would you like to:
    1. Filter by a specific user
    2. Filter by activity type
    3. Fetch older activity (pagination)
    4. Switch to a quick summary (counts only) or a detailed view (per-event payloads)
    5. Export as markdown or JSON

    If the report was a shareable/export format (e.g., "summary I can share"), place this block outside the shareable content so the user can copy the report cleanly without the follow-up menu in it.

Guidelines

Enterprise-Only Access

Plan Requirement:

• list_site_activity_logs is available only on Enterprise hosting plans
• If the API returns a permissions error, clearly inform the user:

  ⚠️ Site Activity Logs require an Enterprise hosting plan.
  This site does not appear to have Enterprise access.
• Do not retry on permissions errors — the issue is plan-level, not transient

API Constraints

Pagination:

• Maximum 100 events per request
• Use offset to paginate: first call offset=0, second call offset=100, etc.
• 100 events typically covers approximately one week for an active enterprise site
• No native date filtering — all filtering must be done client-side after fetching

When to paginate:

• User asks for more than one week of activity
• User needs a complete picture and first page returns exactly 100 events
• Always tell the user how much data you have: "Showing the last 93 events (Apr 10–16)"

Rate awareness:

• Avoid unnecessary pagination — fetch only what is needed to answer the question
• If user asks "any publishes recently?" — 100 events is likely enough
• If user asks "full month of activity" — explain the limitation and paginate up to 300 events maximum

Error Handling

Common errors:

• 403 / Permission denied: Enterprise plan required — inform user clearly
• 404 / Site not found: Verify site ID, offer to list available sites
• Empty results: Site may have no recent activity — confirm with user and check site details

Graceful degradation:

• If site details fetch fails, still attempt activity logs
• If pagination fails mid-way, report what was successfully fetched
• Always show partial results rather than nothing
