Summary

Aggregated feeds are designed to streamline the organization of similar activities into grouped feeds, with activities sorted by the "updated_at" field to prioritize recent interactions. The process of aggregation involves inserting an activity into a feed, applying a defined aggregation format, and grouping activities with the same group identifier. This grouping is achieved through a customizable aggregation format that can be adjusted to meet various needs, such as grouping by actor, verb, or specific time frames. Changes to the aggregation format only affect new activities, and debugging tools like the aggregation preview screen and feed reading are available to assist users in refining their formats. For more complex needs, GetStream offers enterprise solutions with custom aggregation logic, and users can explore the feature through an interactive tutorial or contact support for further assistance.
