Article Summary

Call History provides great insight into every minute of your calls.

From the call history menu, admins and users can:

  • View records of all Dialpad calls
  • Filter for specific offices or users as well as dates and times
  • Review call details such as date/time, direction, the initial point of entry, and access call recordings and voicemails (personal calls only)

Let's take a look at the call history menu in Dialpad.

Frequently asked questions 

Can I search for more than one user or group at the same time?

You can search for a user within a group. For example, if you are filtering your Finance Department group, you can filter for agent Jon Doe as well.

How far back will this data go?

Call records of your company’s entire history are accessible.

Can I export call history data?

Not from the call history menu, but you can switch to the analytics menu that includes charting data and then export your call logs to obtain call history.

You might need to contact Customer Support to have this functionality added to your account. 

Can I delete calls from the call history?

Yes, but only from the app. Once a call is deleted in the app, it'll take 24 hours for the deletion to disappear in your web call history.

I don't see any calls in call history when I filter for both an individual and a coaching team. Why?

Screen_Shot_2021-10-15_at_2.43.45_PM.png

As of October 18, 2021, you can see calls using both the individual's name and the coaching team as a filter. To find calls before October 18, 2021, search for the individual or the coaching team instead of using both filters simultaneously.
