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.
    • Added timestamp validation to prevent invalid or regressing processing cursors.
  • Improvements

    • Gong polling now processes resources using a validated cursor before saving progress.
    • Updated the Gong integration and New Call source versions for the latest functionality.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Gong polling source adds a configurable processing lookback, validates cursor updates, prevents cursor regression, and persists valid values only. The Gong package and New Call source versions are incremented.

Changes

Gong polling updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lagged cursor and version updates
components/gong/sources/common/polling.mjs, components/gong/package.json, components/gong/sources/new-call/new-call.mjs
The polling source adds a two-hour default lookback and validates cursor advancement. Resource processing persists only valid, non-regressing cursors. The package version changes to 0.5.0, and the New Call source version changes to 0.1.0.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2d8de

The PR keeps polling within a configurable processing lookback so late-processed calls are not skipped, while preserving forward cursor progress and deduplication. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

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.
