Recovering Call Recordings When Calls Fail to Log
Last updated: February 5, 2026
If a call was made through Nooks but doesn't appear in your call library or reporting dashboard, the call may have failed to log properly. While we cannot restore failed calls to your call library, we can often retrieve the recording for you.
Why Calls Fail to Log
Calls typically fail to log for these reasons:
The user clicked away or refreshed the page before clicking the "Log" button
The call was cancelled instead of being logged
No prospect was associated with the call (common with one-off dialer calls). This can occur when you click to dial before the contact information fully loads in the UI, or when a prospect calls you back after a one-off dial and they aren't in your CRM—Nooks cannot identify the caller and won't provide an option to log the call to a contact
The user switched browser tabs during the call logging process
Unlogged calls are treated as cancelled calls and will not appear in any Nooks dashboard or report, so you'll need to rely on your own records to identify which calls need recovery.
How to Request a Recording Recovery
To help our support team locate your call recording, please provide:
Prospect name and phone number
Rep name who made the call
Approximate date and time of the call
Your workspace URL
Our support team can search our logs and provide you with a direct link to the recording if it exists.
What to Do With Retrieved Recordings
Once you receive the recording link, you have several options:
Log the call manually in your CRM or sales engagement platform and include the recording URL in the notes
Make a quick call to the same prospect, hang up immediately, and log that call with the proper disposition, referencing the original recording
For transcripts, download the recording and paste it in a Slack thread to auto-generate a transcript
Preventing Future Issues
To ensure calls log properly:
Always click the "Log" button after ending a call
Avoid refreshing the page or switching tabs during the logging process
For one-off dialer calls, add the prospect to your CRM before dialing when possible. Wait for the contact information to fully load in the UI before clicking to dial—clicking too quickly can prevent Nooks from associating the prospect with the call. This ensures Nooks can identify them if they call you back and will be able to log the call
Wait for the prospect to be associated with the call before proceeding
Important: Once a call is cancelled or fails to log, it cannot be restored to your call library. We can only provide the recording link for manual logging elsewhere.
