      Article Summary

      Call History in Dialpad provides a detailed record of voice calls and digital interactions. Users can filter and review call details such as date/time, direction, entry point, and access call recordings and voicemails. Different levels of permissions determine the extent of access to conversations for company admins, office admins, department and contact center admins, coaching team coaches, and users. Call History includes Voice Call History and Digital Session History, which cover different types of interactions. Users can access Ai insights such as conversation transcripts and grades. Default views and customizable columns help streamline the Call History page. Multi-target filters allow for granular data analysis based on user or group filters, date range filters, call participant filters, keyword filters, moments filters, duration filters, disposition filters, hour of day filters, internal/external filters, call category filters, Ai scorecards filters, CSAT filters, source filters, Ai Playbooks filters, saved search filters, and search templates. The article also addresses frequently asked questions about searching for multiple users or groups simultaneously, data retention period, exporting Call History data, and deleting calls from the Call History.

      Call History provides insight into every minute of your calls and digital interactions. 

      From the call history menus, you can:

      • View records of all Dialpad calls and digital interactions.
      • 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).
      • Track Ai Playbook and Custom Moment usage. 

      Let's dive into the details.

      Who can use this feature
      Call history is available to all Dialpad Ai Voice, Ai Sales, and Ai Contact Center customers.
      If you'd like to schedule your call recording report, you'll need to be on a Pro or Enterprise plan.

      Call History permissions

      What you'll find in Call History depends on your Dialpad permissions. 

      • Company admins can see all conversations within their company. 
        • They can also access Ai Summaries and automatic recordings from shared lines (departments, contact centers, and coaching teams)
      • Office admins can see all conversations within their main line, departments, contact centers, and coaching teams.
        • They can also access Ai Summaries and automatic recordings from these shared lines.
      • Department and contact center admins can see all convesations within their respective departments and contact centers.
        • They can also access Ai Summaries and automatic recordings from these shared lines.
      • Coaching team coaches can see all conversations for their trainees, as well as their Ai Summaries and automatic recordings.
      • Users can see all their own calls and access personal call recordings — they can also access Ai call summaries for these calls.
      Note:
      Office admins cannot access call recordings, or Ai summaries, for calls on personal lines, or for calls that were manually recorded by the user.

      • Digital Session History: Detailed record of digital interactions within the Dialpad app
        • Digital interactions include IVR Workflows, and Digital Engagement interactions.

      Example entry.

      Contact detail

      Contacts are phone numbers outside of Dialpad who called or were called by a User or Target within your Dialpad company.

      • Contact types indicate whether the contact source was a third-party contact service (e.g. Google, Microsoft), or your local address book (e.g. from your mobile phone).

      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 for at least one year. 

      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. Go to Inbox, then navigate to the Calls tab and select Option (that's the 3 vertical dots on the far right) then Delete Call.

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