Is there an app to track detailed changes in the admin area?

Topic summary

A user is seeking an app to track detailed admin changes in Shopify—such as product creation, price modifications, variant additions, inventory updates, and timestamps—since Shopify’s native activity log lacks comprehensive detail.

One response suggests using the automation app Mesa to build custom tracking workflows, though notes the API doesn’t reveal which specific admin users made changes.

Another contributor shares a workaround: appending /events.json to a product’s admin URL reveals a basic log (e.g., publish/unpublish events), but warns it’s limited. For comprehensive tracking with undo capabilities, they recommend the app Loggr Product History & Revert.

The discussion remains open with no definitive solution confirmed by the original poster.

Hello,

is there an application that tracks detailed changes in the Shopify admin? For example, creating a product, changing of settings, changing the price of products, adding new product variants, changing inventory, and the dates of these changes, etc.
Shopify’s store activity log does not provide detailed information about everything that happens in the admin.

Thank you :folded_hands:

Should be pretty straight forward to implement this with our automation app mesa. I’d be happy to take a crack at some workflows for you if you’re interested. I don’t believe there’s any visibility in the API into which users modified things in the admin though if that’s what you were interested in.

Little trick: if you open a product in the admin and stick /events.json at the end of the URL, Shopify shows a tiny log.

Example:
https://admin.shopify.com/store/{your-store-link}/products/9954787197241/events.json

But don’t expect much, it’s only basic stuff like publishing/unpublishing.

If you want everything tracked (and the ability to undo changes), you can use Loggr Product History & Revert.
