My recording won't upload

A visit you record is saved on your device as you go and uploads by itself once you're back online, so it isn't lost. For a file you upload, use an MP3 or WAV file at least 30 seconds long.

A visit you recorded

If the connection drops, SOAPsuds keeps recording. The visit is kept encrypted on this device and uploads once you’re back online. After End, a card says Your visit is safe and follows the upload through to Visit uploaded.

New visit card with the line: No connection right now. You can still record, but keep this window open until the visit uploads.
With no connection, the line under Start says recording still works. The exact words depend on your browser.

Whether you can close SOAPsuds depends on your browser:

  • Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet: when the card says You can close SOAPsuds, the upload finishes by itself.
  • Safari, any iPhone browser, Firefox: keep SOAPsuds open on screen. If it closes, the visit waits on this device and uploads the next time you open SOAPsuds in this browser.
  • A private window: keep the window open. It doesn’t keep the visit once closed.

Find a visit that’s waiting

Go to Visits. Above the list, Waiting to upload shows visits still on this device, each with its next step:

  • Upload it: for a visit cut off when the page closed. It doesn’t upload by itself, in case you closed it on purpose.
  • Sign in again: your sign-in ended. Sign in again in this browser and it uploads.

A visit waits on this device for up to 7 days. Open SOAPsuds in the same browser on the same device; another browser can’t see it.

A file you uploaded

  • Use an MP3 or WAV file at least 30 seconds long. If yours is another format, export it again as MP3 or WAV.
  • You need a connection to upload a file.
  • If you see The connection dropped before the audio reached SOAPsuds, check your connection and try again.

Visits under 30 seconds aren’t saved, because a note needs at least 30 seconds of conversation.
