FAQ and Troubleshooting

Why does the number of exported closed conversations not match the number of conversations in the Reports module within the same date range?

The Export Data feature includes only conversations based on their Conversation Open Time, regardless of when the conversations are resolved. This means all conversations that were opened within the selected date range are included in the export, even if they were resolved on a date outside the selected range.

For example:

  • If you choose a date range from December 3, 2024, to December 5, 2024, the export will include all conversations that opened between December 3 and December 5, 2024, even if they were resolved after December 5.
  • A conversation opened on December 3, 2024, but resolved on December 10, 2024, will be included in the export.
  • However, a conversation opened on December 2, 2024, but resolved on December 3, 2024, will not be included, as it falls outside the selected opening date range.
