Comments and activity log on a redirect

Overview

Every SiteDetour redirect supports team-level comments for in-line discussion, and every change is captured in the organization-wide activity log for audit.

Comments on a redirect

Click Comments at the top of any redirect editor to open the comments side panel. Comments are visible to every user in your organization who has read access to that redirect; there is no private/DM scope.

Typical uses:

• Note the reason for a redirect change ("Migrated per SEO ticket PROJ-1412").
• Document DNS cutover timing for async teammates ("DNS flipped 2:00 UTC, monitoring").
• Leave context for future-you when a config looks unusual.

Comments never affect redirect behavior. They are organizational metadata only.

The activity log

The organization-wide activity log lives at Activity. Every meaningful action is captured:

• Redirect / Smart QR / Landing Page / Audience CRUD (created, updated, deleted).
• User logins and logouts.
• DNS status checks.
• Resource views (Redirect Viewed, Smart Qr Viewed, Audience Viewed).
• User invitations and permission changes.
• Team operations.

Each entry records the member, action, IP address, and timestamp. The log is paginated and searchable by keyword. On Business and Enterprise plans it retains a longer history; on lower tiers it is truncated after the plan's retention window.

Programmatic access

Activity log entries and comments are both available through the SiteDetour API. See the API overview for endpoint details and authentication.

Compliance and audit

Because the activity log captures every state-changing operation with the actor's IP and a precise timestamp, it satisfies most internal audit requirements around change tracking. For SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audits, you can export slices of the log through the API and archive them in your SIEM of choice.
