Summary

Closes #21479.

New Call stores the newest started it has seen and sends it back as fromDateTime. Gong applies that filter to started server-side, but it only makes a call queryable once it has finished processing it — and those two times are not the same. A call whose processing finishes after a later-starting call has already moved the cursor past it is never returned again by any poll, silently and permanently.

The cursor is now held behind the present:

const held = Math.min(newestMs, Date.now() - lookbackMs);

so a call that becomes queryable within that window is still inside the next poll's range. The calls this reads a second time are dropped by dedupe: "unique", which the source already sets.

Two details worth calling out:

  • The cursor never moves backwards. paginate stops at DEFAULT_MAX (600) resources per poll. Without the floor, an account recording more than 600 calls per lookback window would have its cursor land back inside a range it had already read, and it would stop advancing entirely. Clamping against the stored value keeps every poll moving forward, because the newest call read is always at or after the cursor that requested it.
  • An unparseable started leaves the cursor alone rather than writing Invalid Date into it. The old code stored the raw string, so this path could not throw before; now that the value is parsed, it can.

The constant lives in sources/common/polling.mjs rather than common/constants.mjs on purpose: the latter is imported by all six components in this app, so putting it there would force a version bump on five components that this change does not affect.

Sizing the window

The window has to span a whole call plus the processing that follows it, not just the processing — because Gong filters on the time a call started while processing only begins when it ends. An hour-long call whose processing takes half an hour surfaces 90 minutes after the timestamp the filter is applied to.

Gong's processing is generally quoted at 10–60 minutes after a call ends, so the default is two hours: an hour-long call plus an hour of processing. That is a defensible default rather than a universal bound, and no bound is derivable from the component's side — the safe number depends on how long a given workspace's calls run and how quickly its recordings are processed.

So the window is a prop, Processing Lookback (Hours), defaulting to 2. A workspace that still misses calls can widen it without waiting on a release; one recording more calls than a single poll can read within the window can narrow it. I would rather expose the number honestly than bury a guess in a constant — but if you would prefer it fixed, or prefer a different default, say which and I will change it.

How I verified

I replayed the reporter's scenario against the real source module — importing sources/new-call/new-call.mjs itself, with a fake db, a frozen clock and a stub Gong that filters on started server-side and only returns a call once its processing time has passed.

  • A starts at 00:00 and finishes processing at 00:10.
  • B starts at 00:01 and finishes processing immediately, so it is the one that moves the cursor.
  • C starts at 00:00:30 and runs for an hour, so it only appears at 01:35 — 95 minutes after the time the filter uses.

On master:

poll 1 at 00:05   cursor now "2026-08-25T00:01:00Z"   emitted: [B]
poll 2 at 00:15   cursor now "2026-08-25T00:01:00Z"   emitted: [B]
poll 3 at 01:35   cursor now "2026-08-25T00:01:00Z"   emitted: [B]
poll 4 at 04:00   cursor now "2026-08-25T00:01:00Z"   emitted: [B]
FAIL: never emitted A, C

With this change:

poll 1 at 00:05   cursor now "2026-08-24T22:05:00.000Z"   emitted: [B]
poll 2 at 00:15   cursor now "2026-08-24T22:15:00.000Z"   emitted: [B, A]
poll 3 at 01:35   cursor now "2026-08-24T23:35:00.000Z"   emitted: [B, A, C]
poll 4 at 04:00   cursor now "2026-08-25T00:01:00.000Z"
OK: every call was emitted

Poll 4 shows the cursor catching up to the newest call once more than the window has passed, so the range does not grow without bound.

Limitations of that harness, stated plainly: it is a simulation of Gong's filtering behaviour read off the API documentation and this component's own code, not a run against a live workspace, and it does not implement dedupe: "unique" — the repeat emissions it prints are what the platform's dedupe is expected to drop. I also could not run eslint, since installing the monorepo's dependencies was not practical here; node --check passes on the modified file and I kept to the surrounding style.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable processing lookback for Gong polling, defaulting to two hours and supporting a one- to 168-hour range.
    • Added duplicate prevention so previously emitted calls are not emitted again.
    • Added timestamp validation to prevent invalid or regressing processing cursors.
  • Improvements

    • Gong polling now processes calls in chronological order and saves progress only after successful event delivery.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to da49e

The new lookback prevents missed Gong calls, but high-volume windows containing numeric call IDs of different lengths may emit some calls more than once because ledger retention can discard still-queryable IDs. This is a bounded duplicate-event risk that should be corrected before merge.

62-72: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Make lookback changes recoverable.

When a valid cursor already exists and processingLookbackHours increases, held moves backward but Math.max(previousMs, held) keeps the already persisted cursor. The next request still starts after any call missed under the previous window, so increasing the prop cannot recover that call. This conflicts with the description at Line 40 and the PR objective that every exposed call eventually emits.

Add a controlled cursor reset or backfill when the lookback changes, or document a manual recovery procedure and remove the claim that raising this value recovers missed calls.

Comment thread components/gong/sources/common/polling.mjs Outdated
…liably

Three defects on the New Call polling path, each of which let the source
skip or repeat calls.

The cursor was not the newest call. /v2/calls returns calls ordered by id,
not by start time, so `Array.from(resources).reverse()[0]` picked an
arbitrary call rather than the most recent. Verified against a live
workspace: the batch's true max(started) was 2026-05-20T04:36:25.028Z
while the stored cursor was 04:35:39.986Z. When a batch truncates at
DEFAULT_MAX the cursor could be taken from an arbitrary member of the
truncated set, permanently skipping earlier-starting calls beyond the cap
- the reported symptom, reachable with no processing lag at all. The batch
is now ordered by `started`, which also makes deploy() emit the 25 most
recent instead of an arbitrary 25; it was getting 16 of 25 wrong.

The lookback prop was unbounded. `min` without `max` let a large value
push Date.now() - lookbackMs outside the range Date accepts, throwing
RangeError and aborting the poll: a trigger reporting active: true while
emitting nothing. The prop now carries max: 168, and the value is clamped
at runtime as well, because the deploy API accepts out-of-range values
verbatim - prop min/max are enforced client-side only.

Dedupe leaned on a cache smaller than the window. Holding the cursor
behind the present means every poll re-reads its window, and
dedupe: "unique" remembers only the last 100 ids, which a busy workspace
overruns immediately: 83,838 duplicate deliveries over a simulated 24h at
high volume. Emitted ids are now tracked in db, pruned to the window the
cursor reopens and capped, so repeats are suppressed before $emit rather
than after it. Verified live: a poll that re-read 92 calls emitted none of
them, and the same 97 calls were still delivered exactly once.

State is now written after emitting rather than before, which the source
guidelines require and which the ledger depends on - persisting what was
emitted before emitting it would drop calls on a partial failure.

Hi @MLuc24, thank you for your contribution! A couple of fixes to be addressed - lastResource is not the newest call. Gong returns /v2/calls ordered by call id, not by started, so it's best to sort the batch by started descending before slicing.
I've also made a couple of other fixes and QA'd the changes. Thank you once again.

…rsisting

Gong call ids are numeric strings past Number's safe integer range, so
`localeCompare` ordered different-length ids incorrectly and the ledger's
cap could evict the wrong entries.

`$emit` is async, and the emit loop neither returned nor awaited its
promises, so state was persisted once the events were queued rather than
once they were out - a failed emission would still have advanced the
cursor. The loop is awaited now, and `run`/`deploy` await the batch so a
failure fails the poll instead of escaping as an unhandled rejection.
