Chat log XML format

The Puzzel chat logs are usually stored in the Archive in the Admin Portal for as many days as configured by each customer. A chat log shown in the Archive can be download as an xml file.

As an alternative to Archive, Puzzel can deliver the chat logs to Puzzels FTP server so that the Puzzel customer can fetch them and store them in his own system. In this case, the chat logs are delivered as XML files.

The file name for chat logs delivered to FTP is <session_id>.xml
The session_id is Puzzels unique identifier for the chat, which is also shown inside the chat log and it is also used in Raw data.

msg

The message sent by agent or chatter.

The first message in a chat (from role=-1) is usually the chatters nickname and ID (and other variables) shown to agent.

If Track chatters browser history is configured, such tracking messages are sent from the system (role=-1) and only shown for the agent (and also in Archive).

If URLs are sent from agent, we usually show both the shown text with the link (e.g. Product page) and the underlying URL (e.g. https://productdemo.puzzel.com/product/products)
