Internal DB

Add all the main activities that you have in your internal database.

Some helpful tips:

  • What are all the main tables that your db has and what customer activity does each represent?
  • Look for timestamps and ask yourself why that timestamp exists, is it for the product or for understanding. If it is for understand then you may want to add it to the activity stream.
