Beta. See the Automations Overview for the full feature description.

Returns every dispatch attempt for one automation, newest first. Each row records the recipient, the matched trigger, every action’s result, and any error. Rows from the last 30 days are returned. Older rows exist in Firestore (retention is indefinite for analytics) but are excluded from this endpoint for performance.

Activity row status

Each row has a top-level status plus a per-action status inside actionResults[].

Status	When it’s recorded
`pending`	Row was just written; the worker hasn’t picked it up yet
`in_flight`	The worker is currently dispatching
`sent`	At least one action was accepted by the platform, and none hit an auth error. For `send_dm` this means Instagram accepted the message — not that the recipient received it (see the note below)
`failed`	No action was accepted, and at least one was rejected by the platform or could not run (and none hit an auth error). The reason is on `actionResults[].errorDetails`
`auth_error`	The account’s Instagram credentials or messaging permissions could not be used — for example an expired or revoked access token, a missing Facebook Page selection, or Messaging not activated for the profile. The DM was not retried. Per-recipient delivery failures are recorded as `failed`, not here
`rate_limited`	The daily DM cap (tier or per-profile) was hit. No DM was sent
`deduplicated`	This action already fired to this recipient inside its dedup window (default 7 days, per-action configurable)
`skipped`	The automation was suppressed before dispatch — it became inactive or was deleted between fan-out and dispatch, it has no actions configured, or the engagement that triggered it came from the same account that would send the DM — most often a comment on your own post (an account cannot message itself)

pending and in_flight are transient; everything else is terminal. When an automation has more than one action, the top-level status is derived from the per-action results in this order: auth_error if any action hit an auth error, then sent if any action was accepted, then deduplicated if every action was deduplicated, then skipped if every action was deliberately suppressed (skipped or deduplicated), otherwise failed. Read actionResults[] for the per-action detail.

sent confirms Instagram accepted the message, not that the recipient received it. Instagram exposes no delivery signal on any API surface, and if the recipient’s Message requests setting blocks strangers, Meta accepts the send and silently drops it. See Automation DM Sent but Not Delivered.

Per-action result fields

Each entry in actionResults[] describes one action’s outcome:

Field	Type	Description
`actionId`	string	The action’s stable ID within the automation
`type`	string	The action type (`send_dm`, `fire_webhook`, `send_email`)
`status`	string	Per-action status, using the same vocabulary as the row `status` above
`errorDetails`	string \| `null`	Human-readable failure reason when the action did not succeed; `null` (or absent) on success. For a rejected `send_dm` this carries the mapped error message (e.g. the private-reply window is closed, or the comment already received a reply)
`completedAt`	string	ISO 8601 timestamp when the action finished

For comment-triggered automations (comment_keyword), the row also carries a top-level commentId — the raw Instagram comment ID the DM was anchored to. It is null for message-driven triggers (dm_keyword, story_reply, dm_reaction).

Header Parameters

Path Parameters

string

required

The automation ID returned from POST /automations.

Query Parameters

number

default:25

Page size. Default 25, max 100. Values outside [1, 100] are clamped; non-integer or ≤0 returns HTTP 400.

string

Opaque cursor from a previous response’s meta.pagination.next. Omit on the first request.Forward-only — passing ?previous= returns HTTP 400.

Response Shape

The response wraps the result list in activity[] and the cursor info in meta.pagination:

{
  "status": "success",
  "automationId": "auto_9xKp2Lm4nQ",
  "activity": [ /* …rows, newest first… */ ],
  "meta": {
    "pagination": {
      "hasMore": true,
      "limit": 25,
      "next": "eyJ0aW1lIjoiMjAyNi0wNS0xMlQwOTowMDoxMS4wMDBaIiwiaWQiOiJhdXRvXzl4S3AyTG00blE6dHJnX2ExYjJjMzpjb21tZW50X3JlY2VpdmVkOjE4MDEyMzQ1Njc4OTAwMDAwIn0="
    }
  }
}

meta.pagination.next is a base64-encoded opaque blob — treat it as a black box and pass it back unchanged in the next request’s ?next=. meta.pagination.hasMore is true when at least one more page exists.
