Scheduler Workflow Documentation

Overview

The LiveDash system has two main schedulers that work together to fetch and process session data:

1. Session Refresh Scheduler - Fetches new sessions from CSV files
2. Processing Scheduler - Processes session transcripts with AI

Current Status (as of latest check)

• Total sessions: 107
• Processed sessions: 0
• Sessions with transcript: 0
• Ready for processing: 0

How the processed Field Works

The ProcessingScheduler picks up sessions where processed is NOT true, which includes:

• processed = false
• processed = null

Query used:

{ processed: { not: true } } // Either false or null

Complete Workflow

Step 1: Session Refresh (CSV Fetching)

What it does:

• Fetches session data from company CSV URLs
• Creates session records in database with basic metadata
• Sets transcriptContent = null initially
• Sets processed = null initially

Runs: Every 30 minutes (cron: */30 * * * *)

Step 2: Transcript Fetching

What it does:

• Downloads full transcript content for sessions
• Updates transcriptContent field with actual conversation data
• Sessions remain processed = null until AI processing

Runs: As part of session refresh process

Step 3: AI Processing

What it does:

• Finds sessions with transcript content where processed != true
• Sends transcripts to OpenAI for analysis
• Extracts: sentiment, category, questions, summary, etc.
• Updates session with processed data
• Sets processed = true

Runs: Every hour (cron: 0 * * * *)

Manual Trigger Commands

Check Current Status

node scripts/manual-triggers.js status

Trigger Session Refresh (Fetch new sessions from CSV)

node scripts/manual-triggers.js refresh

Trigger AI Processing (Process unprocessed sessions)

node scripts/manual-triggers.js process

Run Both Schedulers

node scripts/manual-triggers.js both

Troubleshooting

No Sessions Being Processed?

1. Check if sessions have transcripts:

node scripts/manual-triggers.js status

2. If "Sessions with transcript" is 0:

• Sessions exist but transcripts haven't been fetched yet
• Run session refresh: node scripts/manual-triggers.js refresh

3. If "Ready for processing" is 0 but "Sessions with transcript" > 0:

• All sessions with transcripts have already been processed
• Check if OPENAI_API_KEY is set in environment

Common Issues

"No sessions found requiring processing"

• All sessions with transcripts have been processed (processed = true)
• Or no sessions have transcript content yet

"OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable is not set"

• Add OpenAI API key to .env.development file
• Restart the application

"Error fetching transcript: Unauthorized"

• CSV credentials are incorrect or expired
• Check company CSV username/password in database

Database Field Mapping

Before AI Processing

{
  id: "session-uuid",
  transcriptContent: "full conversation text" | null,
  processed: null,
  sentimentCategory: null,
  questions: null,
  summary: null,
  // ... other fields
}

After AI Processing

{
  id: "session-uuid", 
  transcriptContent: "full conversation text",
  processed: true,
  sentimentCategory: "positive" | "neutral" | "negative",
  questions: '["question 1", "question 2"]', // JSON string
  summary: "Brief conversation summary",
  language: "en", // ISO 639-1 code
  messagesSent: 5,
  sentiment: 0.8, // Float value (-1 to 1)
  escalated: false,
  forwardedHr: false,
  category: "Schedule & Hours",
  // ... other fields
}

Scheduler Configuration

Session Refresh Scheduler

• File: lib/scheduler.js
• Frequency: Every 30 minutes
• Cron: */30 * * * *

Processing Scheduler

• File: lib/processingScheduler.js
• Frequency: Every hour
• Cron: 0 * * * *
• Batch size: 10 sessions per run

Environment Variables Required

# Database
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://..."

# OpenAI (for processing)
OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

# NextAuth
NEXTAUTH_SECRET="..."
NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000"

Next Steps for Testing

1. Trigger session refresh to fetch transcripts:

node scripts/manual-triggers.js refresh

2. Check status to see if transcripts were fetched:

node scripts/manual-triggers.js status

3. Trigger processing if transcripts are available:

node scripts/manual-triggers.js process

4. View results in the dashboard session details pages
