Setup & Usage
Enable the addon
Timeline is a native Mumara add-on. If it isn't already active, go to Setup → Add-ons, find Timeline, and enable it. Fresh installations turn Timeline on automatically, so you may find it already running.
Choose how events are processed
Timeline's settings live under Application Settings → Triggers. A single switch turns event capture on or off, and when it's on you choose an event-processing mode:
| Mode | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Real-time | Each event is recorded immediately as it happens. | Installations that don't run a background queue worker. This is the safe default. |
| Laravel Queue | Events are handed to your queue worker and recorded in the background. | Busy installations that already run a queue worker, to keep event recording off the request path. |
| Write to File | Events are written to files. | Specialised setups that consume the raw event stream elsewhere. |
Fresh installs enable Timeline and pick the mode that matches your application's queue driver — Real-time when no worker is configured, Laravel Queue otherwise. Most installations never need to change this.
You can switch the mode at any time; it only affects how new events are recorded.
View a contact's timeline
- Open any contact list (or the contacts view).
- Click a subscriber to slide out their detail panel.
- Expand the Subscriber Timeline section.
- The history loads newest-first — click Load More to page further back.
The same panel also shows the subscriber's subscription details, status, and custom field data.
Turning Timeline off
Switching Timeline off under Application Settings → Triggers stops new events from being recorded. The history already collected is kept, so you can turn capture back on later without losing what came before.
