The Activity Log in Float is an audit trail that shows a history of payment-related events for Payments (Bill Pay, Reimbursements, and Send Money). It provides full visibility for finance teams and ensures accountability across all payment actions, making it easier to track and verify what happened at each stage of the payment process.
This guide explains where to find Activity Logs for Payments and how to review them.
Please note: We began tracking Payment activity on May 13th, 2026. Payments created before this date will not show any historical activity. However, if you edited a pre–May 13th Payment, those edits will appear in that Payment's activity log.
