Hi all,

One of our customers has a problem with someone deleting the group chats and wants to find out who it is, is there anywhere I can see that at all?

Many thanks
 
I can see the new group chat created under Reporting -> Chat Logs but no evidence of the two preceding group chats that were deleted this morning.
 
If the Chat Logs are missing from the Reporting -> Chat Logs section, this means that the Chat Logs were purged. You are able to see who purged the chat logs from the Management Console -> Audit Log.

Thanks gky, I can see all the chat logs generally so doesn't look like they have been purged, they restarted their group chat this morning and I have exported the log and can see chats going back for a while but can only seem to see the new chat they started at 10:37hrs this morning called 'Do not delete' but can't see one before that.
 
I did a test using the Windows app and created a chat then deleted it and did hope it may have been in 3CXPhoneForWindows.log file under AppData\Roaming\3CXPhone for Windows\Logs but unfortunately can't see anything.
I tried under app/system_status/logs on the PBX but couldn't see anything else in there either.
I can see the most recent chat that was created in the chat log under Reporting -> Chat Logs but can't see the ones before so if the chat is deleted then does it disappear from the chat log?
 
@MPServeline
Maybe has not been deleted - if it's a queue group chat and one of participants take it, it will disappear from all other participants, will become a "single" chat. It's a "trap" I fell myself at the very beginning.

Otherwise, in normal conditions, a group chat can disappear simultaneously from all participants only either if it was deleted/purged on the PBX level (by purge or by direct database access), or all participants have deleted it (which, according to your description, is highly improbable)

Thanks Vali, would that be the same chat? The one within the app?

I can't see how it could be split away from a group conversation from there?

I don't think you can take a chat directly from the V16 Desktop Client (though I could be mistaken).
From the V18 Desktop App or webclient you can use the 'Take' button in the top right:

If the chat is already taken, this button will turn into a transfer button (of course, this is only for the person who took the chat, as others will no longer be able to see it).
 
Thanks, I'll check into that :)
