SMS Logs
Check every SMS the system handed to the SMS module, and read the exact text that went to a number without asking the client to read it out.
Opening the Screen
Open {admin}/tools/sms-logs from the Tools menu.
What Is on the Screen
One table, newest record first, with a search box above it. The search covers the sender title and the numbers. The download button beside the search box exports the filtered list as CSV, JSON or XML.
Preview window
The SMS Preview window shows the sender title, the numbers and the send time at the top. Under Message Content the text appears as it was sent, with its line breaks kept.
Fields
These two belong to the Clear Logs dialog, opened by the red button next to the page title. Both are required.
Tasks
Find the messages sent to a number
- Type the number in the search box. A leading plus sign makes no difference, so paste it either way.
- Read the Date column to see when each message went out.
Read a message a client received
- Find the row by number and date.
- Click the eye button. The text opens in the preview window with its sender title and time.
Clear old records
- Click the Clear Logs button.
- Pick a cut-off date and type your account password.
- Click Confirm. The matching records go and the page reloads with the shorter list.
Things to Watch
SMS records have no retention period and stay until you clear them or delete the client they belong to. On a busy installation the table grows without limit, so clear it on a routine you choose. Deletion cannot be undone, and the same records feed the client's own Messages list and the international SMS reports: what you clear here disappears from those as well.
One-time codes, two-factor messages and password-reset texts record the send event, the sender title and the number, but their body is replaced by a short notice. Anyone reading the log must not be able to reuse a code that was meant for one phone.
The record is written once the SMS module accepts the message. Whether the operator delivered it to the handset is answered by your provider's own reports, not here.
Required Privileges
The preview and the Clear Logs dialog both need TOOLS_ACTIONS. The download button beside the search box follows the panel-wide TABLE_EXPORT; an account without that privilege never sees the button.
