How to export a pipe audit logs report using GraphQL mutation
Overview
This guide explains how to export pipe audit logs reports using Pipefy's GraphQL API. The exportPipeAuditLogsReport mutation allows you to export audit logs and activity data for a specific pipe, providing insights into user actions and system events.
This mutation creates an asynchronous export job that processes pipe audit logs and generates a downloadable report file.
Prerequisites
- Authentication: For this mutation specifically, you need to provide the id_token of your cookie session of pipefy.
- Permissions: Ensure you have permission to manage pipe (Pipe admin).
- Pipe UUID: Required. You must provide the UUID of the pipe that you want to export the logs.
Step 1: Find Your Pipe UUID
To execute this mutation, you’ll need the UUID of the pipe.
- Refer to our Get resource IDs page for guidance on retrieving UUIDs using GraphQL queries.
Step 2: Export Pipe Audit Logs Report
Use the exportPipeAuditLogsReport mutation to request an audit logs report export. You must provide the pipeUuid and can optionally include a search term to filter audit logs of a specific user based on user name and email.
mutation ExportPipeAuditLogsReport(
$pipeUuid: ID!
$searchTerm: String
) {
exportPipeAuditLogsReport(
pipeUuid: $pipeUuid
searchTerm: $searchTerm
) {
success
}
}
Variables example:
{
"pipeUuid": "87654321-4321-4321-4321-cba987654321",
"searchTerm": "John"
}
Arguments Explained
Required Arguments
pipeUuid: The UUID of the pipe for which to generate the audit logs report
Optional Arguments
searchTerm: A search term to filter audit logs (defaults to empty string if not provided)- Filters audit logs of a specific user based on user name and email
- Case-insensitive search across audit log data
Key Fields Returned
success: Boolean indicating whether the mutation was successfultrue: The export job was created successfullyfalse: The export job creation failed
Step 3: Understanding the Export Process
The exportPipeAuditLogsReport mutation creates an asynchronous export job that:
- Fetches Audit Logs: Retrieves pipe audit logs from the last 30 days (excluding today)
- Applies Filters: If a search term is provided, filters audit logs of the specific user based on the term
- Export Report: Creates a structured report with the following columns:
- User: The user who performed the action
- Action: Description of the action performed
- Date: Timestamp when the action occurred
Example Response
{
"data": {
"exportPipeAuditLogsReport": {
"success": true
}
}
}
Error Handling
If the mutation fails, you'll receive an error response:
{
"data": {
"exportPipeAuditLogsReport": null
},
"errors": [
{
"message": "You don't have permission to perform this action",
"locations": [
{
"line": 2,
"column": 3
}
],
"path": [
"exportPipeAuditLogsReport"
]
}
]
}
Common Error Scenarios
- Permission Denied: User doesn't have the required permissions
- Invalid UUIDs: Pipe UUID doesn't exist or user doesn't have access
- Authentication Issues: Missing or invalid authentication token
File Format
The export generates a structured file in a CSV format
