What should I do if the call logs are showing incorrect timings/data?
Applies to: Call Logs in the MyOperator web/app where any of the following looks wrong: timestamp, duration, caller number (CLI), user/department, or call type (Connected/Missed/Voicemail).
Goal: Get your logs to display correct local times and accurate data; collect the right evidence if escalation is needed.
Time needed: 10–15 minutes.
You’ll need: Access to Design Call Flow → Advanced Settings and to Call Logs/Exports.
Prerequisites
- Have 2–3 recent examples (within last 24 hours) where the log looks wrong.
- Ability to change the account time zone and re-export logs if needed.
- If you use CSV exports/API, be ready to open the file in a clean sheet (no auto-conversion).
Terminology
Timestamp = start time shown for the call.
Duration may mean ring + talk + wrap (total) or talk only, depending on view.
CLI = Caller Line Identification (caller’s number).
Step 1: Define the inaccuracy with 2–3 examples
- Open Dashboard → Call Logs.
- For each suspect call, note: Date/Time (IST), Call Type, Expected vs Seen.
- If available, capture the Call/Recording ID.
Step 2: Verify account time zone (panel setting)
- Go to Manage → Design Call Flow → Advanced Settings → Inbound Settings → Time Zone.
- Set to your business time zone (e.g., IST, UTC+05:30).
- Save, refresh Call Logs, and recheck your examples.
Step 3: Check device/browser time and display format
- Ensure your device clock & time zone are correct (OS settings).
- If you changed 12-hour/24-hour display, refresh the browser/app.
- On mobile, verify the app permissions and that “Automatic date & time” is enabled.
Step 4: Review filters, date range, and export behavior
- In Call Logs, confirm Date Range and Filters (Type/Agent/Department) match your expectation.
- For CSV export, check:
- If the export is in UTC or account time zone (then Excel/Sheets may auto-shift).
- Set the column to Text before importing or explicitly set the time zone in Sheets.
- If you use Pivot/BI tools, ensure they’re not applying an extra offset.
Step 5: Confirm call ownership (user/department mapping)
- If the User/Department looks wrong, check recent changes:
- Departments/Users renamed or reassigned?
- Ring strategy/overflow sending the call elsewhere?
- Sticky Agent reconnecting to a prior agent?
- Validate mapping in Manage → Numbers (number → correct Live Call Flow), and in Design Call Flow → IVR/Menu (digits map to the intended destination).
Step 6: Understand duration math (ring vs talk vs total)
- Connected calls may show Total duration (ring + talk) in one view and Talk time in another.
- Transfers/queues can split time across legs; some reports show per-leg durations.
- Re-open the call detail to see which duration definition the view uses.
Step 7: Special cases (voicemail, transfers, DST, API/webhook)
- Voicemail: Timestamp usually reflects when the message was recorded; duration is the message length, not ring time.
- Transfers/Conferences: Expect multiple legs; confirm which leg you’re viewing.
- DST changeover (non-IST regions): Logs near DST shift can appear 1-hour off if time zone was changed late.
- API/Webhooks/Integrations: If you parse timestamps:
- Use the documented time zone/format (e.g., ISO 8601).
- Watch for epoch ms vs seconds (1000× error shows dates in 1970/51300s).
- Ensure your CRM/BI doesn’t re-offset already local times.
Verify success
Your 2–3 example rows now show:
- Correct local timestamps aligned with device time.
- Durations consistent with the call detail (and definition).
- Correct user/department and caller number.
Troubleshooting & edge cases
- Times still off by a fixed offset (e.g., +1h): Re-save account time zone → log out/in → hard refresh (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R).
- Only exports are wrong: Treat export as UTC in your sheet and convert using your locale function; or change import format to raw text.
- Caller number format odd (e.g., missing +, leading zeros): Ensure E.164 formatting at ingest; check CRM normalization rules.
- User/department wrong only after transfers: Inspect the final leg; verify overflow/round-robin rules.
- API data differs from UI: Confirm you’re not double-applying time zone in code; log a raw example payload.
