# Activity Log

The **Activity Log** tool allows you to log information about your workflow when it runs. This can be used to help debug issues with your setup.

Fields included in the Activity Log are:

* **Activity Message:** Label the data that you'd like to log so that you can easily recognize the Activity Log's logging. Example: Order Data.
* **Payload Value:** Add [Variables](/workflow-builder/fields/variables.md) that you'd like to view the data of. You are allowed to add multiple variables and characters.

Logs created from this step can be found in your workflow's **Logs** tab.

Here is an example of the logged information specified in a workflow and where you can see additional details in the logs.
