The Comm Log: An Agency-Wide Record of Every Contact
The Comm Log records every call, text, email and letter, from every agent and every automated system, so nobody contacts a consumer blind.
Before you contact anyone, check what already happened.
Summary
The Comm Log is the agency-wide record of every contact across channels and sources.
Entries come from manual logging, system events, dialers, chat and modules like DebtorIndex.
Each entry shows when, channel, direction, result, who, phone, length, recording and quality score.
Key takeaways
Check the account's Comm Log before every contact.
Filter by source to audit automated activity.
Use date ranges when answering client or complaint questions.
What the Comm Log is
The Communication Log is Nexum's agency-wide record of every contact: calls, texts, emails and mail, from every agent and from automatic systems. Use it to check what already happened before contacting someone, or to find a particular entry when a client, consumer or auditor asks.
Where entries come from
- Manual: an agent logged it with Log Contact.
- System: created automatically, for example when a status changes or a task is created.
- Dialer and ChatRoute: calls and chats brought in from those tools.
- Campaign modules: SilentReach drops and callbacks, Nudge texts and Campaigns emails post to the account.
- DebtorIndex: entries show the grade and why it was chosen.
Searching the Comm Log
Type a word in the search box; it looks in notes, results and account numbers. Narrow it with All Channels (call, text, email, mail) and All Sources (manual, system, dialer, ChatRoute and others). Pick a From and To date for a period.
The Comm Log for one account
Open the account and click its Comm Log tab. Click any line to see everything recorded for that entry:
- When it happened.
- Channel and direction.
- Result.
- Who did it.
- The phone number used.
- Call length and whether it was recorded.
- The CallGrade quality score, when available.
- Notes.
Why one log matters
When every channel writes to the same history:
- Collectors don't call someone who just texted back.
- Supervisors can see the full sequence behind a payment or a complaint.
- Attempt counts and frequency rules are based on complete data.
- Clients and auditors get a single, consistent record.
That's the foundation of a real omnichannel strategy and of trustworthy audit trails.
Practical uses
- Before a call: scan the last few entries.
- Complaint review: filter by account and date range.
- Campaign audit: filter by source to see automated activity.
- QA: jump from a call entry to its CallGrade score.
Why it matters
The Comm Log is the agency's memory. When it's complete, every person and every system makes better, safer decisions.
