app	string	App that created the activity (e.g. 'files', 'files_sharing', etc.)
type	string	For most files related activities this is the action that was performed on the file/folder (e.g. 'file_changed', 'file_created' (same is used for both, file and folder)), other apps use other strings (e.g. 'announcementcenter')
user	string (Optional)	User ID of the user that triggered/created this activity (can also be empty in case of public link/remote share action)
subject	string	Translated simple subject without markup, ready for use (e.g. 'You created hello.jpg')

object_type	string (Optional)	Type of the object this activity is about (e.g. 'files' is used for files and folders)
object_id	int (Optional)	ID of the object this activity is about (e.g. ID in the file cache is used for files and folders)

objects	object (Optional)	In activities that reference multiple objects (e.g. an activity detailing several files edited in the same folder), this field holds the objects referenced in this activity. They are stored in objects as key-value pairs of the object_id and the object_name: { object_id: object_name}
previews	array (Optional)	A list of potential previews (currently only available for file activities). See Preview element for more information
