Activity Feed

The Activity Feed gives organization administrators continuous, passive visibility into peer mentor and coordinator actions without requiring active report generation. This reduces administrative overhead from manually checking logs and surfaces anomalies such as unusual registration bursts or stalled approvals in near-real-time. For organizations with large peer mentor networks - such as NHF with 1,400 local associations - a consolidated feed is essential for maintaining oversight at scale. The feed supports the duplicate activity detection workflow by making recent submissions immediately visible, enabling admins to spot and flag duplicates before they propagate into Bufdir reports and degrade data quality.

The Activity Feed is a Next.js server-side rendered component querying a tenant-scoped events view in PostgreSQL, joining activity, user, and approval tables. Feed items are returned with cursor-based pagination for performance on large datasets. Each item includes actor identity, action type, timestamp, and a deep link to the referenced record. Filtering by event type (activity, expense, approval, user management) reduces noise for admins focused on specific workflows. Client-side incremental refresh via SWR delivers low-latency updates without full page reloads. Tenant isolation is enforced at the query layer, and role-based access control restricts event visibility to the authenticated organization.
