Activities
Record every customer interaction. Activities give your team a shared history of visits, calls, and meetings—complete with reports 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
- Report indicator — Shows if reports are attached
Filtering
Narrow your view with these filters:
- Date range — Focus on a specific time period
- Activity type — Show only visits, calls, or custom types

Click the grid/list toggle to switch between expanded cards and a compact list view.

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
- Reports — 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 report — Submit a structured form
Adding Reports
Reports let you capture structured information about an activity. Instead of free-form notes, reports use forms to ensure consistent data collection.
When Reports Are Available
Reports appear when:
- The activity type has linked forms
- The activity's start time has passed (you can't report on future activities)
Submitting a Report
- Open the activity
- Click Add Report
- If multiple forms are available, select which one to use
- Fill in the form fields
- Click Submit
Reports are attached to the activity and visible in the timeline. You can add multiple reports to the same activity if needed.
Report Time Limits
Your organization may set time limits for report submission. If the limit has passed, you'll see a warning and the Add Report 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 report
- 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)
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 reports
- Pending topics — Items that need follow-up
- Analysis — AI-generated summary of the customer's situation
AI Report Assistant
If enabled, you can use the AI Report Assistant to create reports through a conversational interview instead of filling out forms manually.
- Click Add Report 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 report
| Mode | Best For |
|---|---|
| Form | Filling specific form fields conversationally |
| Dynamic | Free-form reporting when you're not sure what to capture |
