Objective
This article shows you how to find a generated messaging log archive file and get a download link for it, so you can retrieve the JSON records for a particular day.
Product
Programmable Messaging
Environment
Twilio Console
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
- Select Messaging, then Log Archives.
- Select the Past Files tab. Each row shows the file's Friendly name, Date, Type, and Size.
- Find the file you want and select Generate link in the Actions column.
- The Generate link dialog opens with the download link in the Link field. Then either:
- Select Download to open the file, or
- Select Copy to copy the link to your clipboard. A confirmation message tells you the bulk export file URL was copied.
Additional Information
- Download links are generated fresh each time and eventually expire, so generate a new link rather than reusing an old one.
- Archive files are automatically removed after seven days. If a day is not listed, either no export job has produced a file for it yet or the file has already expired.
- If the table is empty, no bulk export jobs have been created for this account. Create one with Create custom job, or set up recurring archives with Setup daily exports.
- The Custom Jobs tab shows the status of export jobs you have requested, which is where to look if a file has not appeared yet.
