Activities
Record every customer interaction. Activities give your team a shared history of visits, calls, and meetings—complete with forms and AI-powered insights.
Viewing Activities
Activities appear on customer profiles under the Activities tab. The timeline view shows all interactions with that customer, sorted by date.
Timeline Display
Each activity shows:
- Type icon — Color-coded by activity type
- Date and time — When the activity occurred
- Assigned user — Who handled it
- Form indicator — Shows if a form was submitted with the activity
Filtering
Narrow your view with these filters:
- Date range — Focus on a specific time period
- Activity type — Show only visits, calls, or custom types
- Team — Filter by team membership
- Include branches — When viewing a customer, optionally include activities from their branches
Click the grid/list toggle to switch between expanded cards and a compact list view.

Quick Time Entry
When editing an activity, use the shortcut buttons to quickly set times:
- Starts/Ends now — Set start or end time to the current moment
- Duration presets — 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes
This is useful for logging activities in real-time as they happen.
Activity Details
Click any activity to view its full details:
- Date/Time — When the activity started and ended
- Linked customer — The customer or branch this relates to
- Assigned to — The team member responsible
- Description — Notes and context (supports rich text)
- Attachments — Files related to this activity
- Forms — Structured form submissions
Actions
From the activity view, you can:
- Edit — Update any field (pencil icon)
- Delete — Remove the activity (trash icon)
- Add notes — Internal notes visible to your team
- Add form — Submit a structured form
Adding Forms
Forms let you capture structured information about an activity. Instead of free-form notes, forms ensure consistent data collection.
When Forms Are Available
Forms appear when:
- The activity type has linked forms
- The activity's start time has passed (you can't submit a form for future activities)
Submitting a Form
- Open the activity
- Click Add Form
- If multiple forms are available, select which one to use
- Fill in the form fields
- Click Submit
Form submissions are attached to the activity and visible in the timeline. You can add multiple form submissions to the same activity if needed.
Form Time Limits
Your organization may set time limits for form submission. If the limit has passed, you'll see a warning and the Add Form button will be disabled.
GPS Verification
If enabled, GPS verification proves you were physically at the customer's location during field visits. This adds accountability and accuracy to visit records.
How It Works
- Complete your visit and submit a form
- Click Verify Activity when prompted
- Your current GPS location is captured
- The system checks if you're within the allowed radius of the customer's address
Verification Status
- Verified — GPS confirms you were at the location within the allowed time window
- Not verified — Activity hasn't been verified yet
- Out of range — GPS location was too far from the customer
Requirements
GPS verification requires:
- The customer has valid coordinates on file
- You're within the configured radius
- You're within the time window (before start or after end of activity)
- The device must have GPS enabled and the user must accept location permissions
AI-Powered Insights
When viewing an activity linked to a customer, Henry AI can provide context about that customer based on recent interactions and data.
Customer Summary
Before a customer meeting, expand the AI section to see:
- Key issues — Problems or concerns from recent form submissions
- Pending topics — Items that need follow-up
- Analysis — AI-generated summary of the customer's situation
AI Form Assistant
If enabled, you can use the AI Form Assistant to fill out forms through a conversational interview instead of doing it manually.
- Click Add Form on an activity
- Choose between Form mode or Dynamic mode
- Answer questions naturally—by voice or text
- The assistant extracts structured data from your responses
- Review and submit the completed form
| Mode | Best For |
|---|---|
| Form | Filling specific form fields conversationally |
| Dynamic | Free-form data collection when you're not sure what to capture |
Activity Settings
Configure basic rules for activity creation:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Create activity in past threshold | Maximum minutes into the past an activity can be created |
| Attach form threshold | Time window (minutes) to attach a form to an existing activity |
Past Activity Example
If set to 60 minutes, users can create activities for events that occurred up to 1 hour ago. Activities beyond this window are blocked.

| Verify activity threshold | Time window (minutes) for location check |
| Verify activity radius | Distance (meters) from customer coordinates |
| Form required when verifying | Require form completion for verified activities |
| Allow coordinate updates inline | Let users update customer GPS during verification |
How Verification Works
- User creates an activity at a customer location
- System captures the user's GPS coordinates
- Coordinates are compared against the customer's stored location
- If within the configured radius and time window, the activity is marked as verified
Verification Examples
| Radius | Use Case |
|---|---|
| 100m | Strict verification for small locations |
| 500m | Standard verification for business parks |
| 1000m | Flexible verification for large campuses |
AI Features

|---|---|
| Enable AI form wizard | Allow voice and text-based AI assistance when completing activity forms |
When enabled, users can use the AI Form Assistant to:

The AI maps answers to the appropriate form fields automatically.
