Architecture & Data Flow

Data Sources

const { missedCalls, followUps, marketingLeads } = useWorklist();
const { isRegistered, isInCall, dialOutbound } = useSip();

Why useWorklist() instead of useData():

• Same data source as call desk for consistency
• Pre-filtered, actionable data (pending callbacks only)
• Real-time updates via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
• Built-in agent-level filtering

Data Transformation Pipeline

Worklist API → useWorklist() → buildRows logic → allTasks
    ↓
Filter by search/type/campaign → filteredTasks
    ↓
Paginate (10 per page) → paginatedTasks
    ↓
Render table rows

---

Key Changes

1. From Mock to Real Data

Before:

const MOCK_TASKS: Task[] = [
    { id: '1', name: 'Unknown', type: 'Missed call', ... },
    // ... static data
];

After:

const allTasks = useMemo((): Task[] => {
    const tasks: Task[] = [];
    
    // Missed calls → Tasks (only pending callbacks)
    const pendingMissedCalls = missedCalls.filter(
        c => c.callbackStatus === 'PENDING_CALLBACK' || !c.callbackStatus
    );
    
    pendingMissedCalls.forEach(call => {
        const phone = call.callerNumber?.[0];
        const phoneRaw = phone?.number ?? '';
        const countBadge = call.missedCallCount && call.missedCallCount > 1 
            ? ` (${call.missedCallCount}x)` 
            : '';
        const name = (call.leadName || (phone ? formatPhone(phone) : 'Unknown')) + countBadge;
        
        tasks.push({
            id: `mc-${call.id}`,
            name,
            type: 'Missed call',
            phone: phone ? formatPhone(phone) : '',
            phoneRaw,
            campaign: call.campaign?.campaignName ?? call.callSourceNumber ?? '—',
            time: call.startedAt ? formatTimeAgo(call.startedAt) : '—',
            timeRaw: call.startedAt ?? call.createdAt,
            // ...
        });
    });
    
    // Follow-ups → Tasks
    followUps.forEach(fu => { /* ... */ });
    
    // Marketing leads → Tasks
    marketingLeads.forEach(lead => { /* ... */ });
    
    return tasks.sort((a, b) => 
        new Date(b.timeRaw).getTime() - new Date(a.timeRaw).getTime()
    );
}, [missedCalls, followUps, marketingLeads]);

Key Design Decisions:

• Mirrors WorklistPanel.buildRows() exactly for consistency
• Filters out completed/attempted callbacks
• Adds count badges for multiple missed calls (e.g., "(2x)")
• Sorts by newest first

2. Enhanced Type Definition

type Task = {
    id: string;           // Prefixed: mc-, fu-, lead-
    name: string;         // With count badges
    type: TaskType;       // 'Missed call' | 'Follow up' | 'Lead'
    phone: string;        // Formatted for display
    phoneRaw: string;     // Raw for dialing
    lastCallWith: string; // Placeholder
    campaign: string;     // From utmCampaign or leadSource
    time: string;         // Formatted "5m ago"
    timeRaw: string;      // ISO date for sorting
    sla: string;          // Placeholder
    leadId?: string;      // For context linking
    patientId?: string;   // For appointments
};

Rationale:

• Separate phone vs phoneRaw for display vs functionality
• timeRaw enables accurate sorting despite formatted display
• Optional IDs prepare for future context panel integration

3. Time Display - Relative Format

Implementation:

const formatTimeAgo = (dateStr: string): string => {
    const minutes = Math.round((Date.now() - new Date(dateStr).getTime()) / 60000);
    if (minutes < 1) return 'Just now';
    if (minutes < 60) return `${minutes}m ago`;
    const hours = Math.floor(minutes / 60);
    if (hours < 24) return `${hours}h ago`;
    return `${Math.floor(hours / 24)}d ago`;
};

Examples:

• "Just now" - < 1 minute
• "5m ago" - 5 minutes
• "2h ago" - 2 hours
• "3d ago" - 3 days

Benefits:

• Human-readable
• Better UX than absolute dates
• Matches call desk pattern

4. Click-to-Call Integration

Replaced: PhoneActionCell component (showed phone number + menu)

With: Direct call button with icon only

<button
    onClick={async () => {
        if (!isRegistered || isInCall || dialingTaskId) return;
        setDialingTaskId(task.id);
        try {
            await dialOutbound(task.phoneRaw);
        } catch {
            notify.error('Dial Failed', 'Could not place the call');
        } finally {
            setDialingTaskId(null);
        }
    }}
    disabled={!isRegistered || isInCall || dialingTaskId === task.id}
    className="inline-flex items-center justify-center size-8 rounded-lg 
               text-brand-secondary hover:bg-brand-secondary hover:text-white 
               transition duration-100 ease-linear disabled:opacity-50 
               disabled:cursor-not-allowed"
    aria-label="Call"
    title={task.phone}
>
    <PhoneCall01 className="size-4" />
</button>

Features:

• Icon-only display (phone number in tooltip)
• Per-task loading state (dialingTaskId)
• Prevents double-clicks
• Disabled states (not registered, in call, dialing)
• Error handling with toast notifications

5. Dialer Popup Implementation

State Management:

const [diallerOpen, setDiallerOpen] = useState(false);
const [dialNumber, setDialNumber] = useState('');
const [dialling, setDialling] = useState(false);

Dial Handler:

const handleDial = async () => {
    const num = dialNumber.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');
    if (num.length < 10) { 
        notify.error('Enter a valid phone number'); 
        return; 
    }
    setDialling(true);
    try {
        await dialOutbound(num);
        setDiallerOpen(false);  // Auto-close on success
        setDialNumber('');       // Clear input
    } catch {
        notify.error('Dial failed');
    } finally {
        setDialling(false);
    }
};

UI Components:

• Header: Title + close button
• Number Input:
  • Large centered text
  • Backspace button
  • Enter key support
  • Auto-focus
• Dial Pad: 3x4 grid (1-9, *, 0, #)
• Call Button:
  • Green background
  • Shows state: "Call" / "Dialling..." / "Telephony unavailable"
  • Disabled when invalid

6. Critical Bug Fix

The Bug:

// BEFORE - Missing dependency
const filteredTasks = useMemo(() => {
    let filtered = allTasks;
    // ... filtering logic
    return filtered;
}, [searchQuery, typeFilter, campaignFilter]); // ❌ Missing allTasks

The Fix:

// AFTER - Complete dependencies
}, [allTasks, searchQuery, typeFilter, campaignFilter]); // ✅ Includes allTasks

Impact: Without allTasks in the dependency array, the memo returned an empty array on first render and never updated, causing the "no data" issue.

7. Styling - Figma Design System

Color Tokens:

// Name column - darker, prominent
<p className="text-sm font-semibold text-[#374151]">{task.name}</p>

// Secondary content - medium gray
<p className="text-sm text-[#6b7280]">{task.campaign}</p>

// Table header
<tr className="bg-secondary border-b border-secondary">
    <span className="text-xs font-semibold text-secondary uppercase">
        Name
    </span>
</tr>

Design Tokens:

• #374151 (gray-700) - Primary text (names)
• #6b7280 (gray-500) - Secondary text (campaign, time, etc.)
• bg-secondary - Table header background
• Padding: px-5 py-4 (20px horizontal, 16px vertical)
• Font sizes: 12px headers, 14px body

Implementation Details

Performance Optimizations

Memoization Strategy:

const allTasks = useMemo(...)        // Derives from worklist
const filteredTasks = useMemo(...)   // Applies filters
const paginatedTasks = useMemo(...)  // Slices for page

Benefits:

• Only recalculates when dependencies change
• Prevents unnecessary re-renders
• Efficient for large datasets

Filtering Logic

Multi-stage Pipeline:

const filteredTasks = useMemo(() => {
    let filtered = allTasks;
    
    // 1. Search by name
    if (searchQuery) {
        filtered = filtered.filter(task =>
            task.name.toLowerCase().includes(searchQuery.toLowerCase())
        );
    }
    
    // 2. Filter by type
    if (typeFilter !== 'all') {
        const typeMap: Record<string, TaskType> = {
            'missed-call': 'Missed call',
            'follow-up': 'Follow up',
            'lead': 'Lead',
        };
        filtered = filtered.filter(task => task.type === typeMap[typeFilter]);
    }
    
    // 3. Filter by campaign
    if (campaignFilter !== 'all') {
        const campaignMap: Record<string, string> = {
            'heart-health': 'Heart health camp',
            'ivf': 'IVF conference',
            'cancer': 'Cancer camp',
        };
        filtered = filtered.filter(task => 
            task.campaign === campaignMap[campaignFilter]
        );
    }
    
    return filtered;
}, [allTasks, searchQuery, typeFilter, campaignFilter]);

Pagination

const paginatedTasks = useMemo(() => {
    const start = (currentPage - 1) * PAGE_SIZE;
    return filteredTasks.slice(start, start + PAGE_SIZE);
}, [filteredTasks, currentPage]);

const totalPages = Math.ceil(filteredTasks.length / PAGE_SIZE);

Configuration:

• PAGE_SIZE = 10 items per page
• Auto-resets to page 1 when filters change

Debug Logging

console.log('[TASKS] Worklist data:', { 
    missedCallsCount: missedCalls.length, 
    followUpsCount: followUps.length, 
    marketingLeadsCount: marketingLeads.length 
});
console.log('[TASKS] Derived tasks:', sorted.length, sorted.slice(0, 3));
console.log('[TASKS] Filtered tasks:', filtered.length);

Purpose: Helps diagnose data flow issues during development

Recommendation: Remove or wrap in if (import.meta.env.DEV) for production

Code Quality

✅ Strengths

1. Type Safety

   • Full TypeScript coverage
   • Proper type definitions
   • No any types

2. Consistency

   • Follows call desk patterns
   • Uses same hooks and utilities
   • Matches design system

3. Error Handling

   • Try-catch blocks for async operations
   • Toast notifications for user feedback
   • Graceful fallbacks (em-dash for missing data)

4. Accessibility

   • aria-label attributes
   • title tooltips
   • Keyboard support (Enter to dial)
   • Disabled states properly indicated

5. Performance

   • Memoized computations
   • Efficient filtering
   • Proper dependency arrays

6. Real-time Updates

   • SSE integration via useWorklist()
   • Automatic refresh on data changes

⚠️ Considerations

1. Debug Logs

   • Should be removed or conditional for production
   • Consider using a logging library

2. Component Size

   • Tasks page is ~400 lines
   • Could extract dialer to separate component
   • Could extract table to separate component

3. Magic Numbers

   • PAGE_SIZE = 10 could be a constant
   • Validation threshold (10 digits) could be configurable

4. Hardcoded Data

   • Campaign filter options are static
   • Could be dynamically generated from data

🔧 Technical Debt

1. Unused Columns

   • lastCallWith always shows "—"
   • SLA is placeholder text
   • Consider removing or implementing

2. Loading States

   • No loading spinner shown to user
   • Could add skeleton screens
   • Could show "Loading..." state

3. Empty States

   • Basic "No tasks found" message
   • Could be more informative
   • Could suggest actions

4. Error States

   • No UI for worklist fetch errors
   • Could show retry button
   • Could show error message

Future Enhancements

1. Context Panel Integration

What: Right-side panel like call desk

Features:

• Lead details
• AI insights and suggestions
• Appointment booking
• Call history
• Patient 360 view

Implementation:

const [selectedTask, setSelectedTask] = useState<Task | null>(null);
const [contextOpen, setContextOpen] = useState(true);

// On row click
<tr onClick={() => setSelectedTask(task)}>

2. Incoming Call Handling

What: Handle incoming calls while on tasks page

Features:

• Call card overlay
• Auto-select matching task
• Caller resolution
• Quick actions (answer, reject)

Implementation:

const { callState, callerNumber } = useSip();

// Match caller to task
const matchingTask = allTasks.find(task => 
    task.phoneRaw.endsWith(callerNumber)
);

3. SLA Implementation

What: Real-time urgency indicators

Features:

• Time-based colors (red/yellow/green)
• Countdown timers
• Priority sorting
• Overdue alerts

Implementation:

const computeSla = (task: Task) => {
    const minutes = (Date.now() - new Date(task.timeRaw).getTime()) / 60000;
    if (minutes < 15) return { label: `${minutes}m`, color: 'success' };
    if (minutes < 30) return { label: `${minutes}m`, color: 'warning' };
    return { label: `${minutes}m`, color: 'error' };
};

4. Dynamic Campaign Filters

What: Auto-populate from actual data

Implementation:

const campaignOptions = useMemo(() => {
    const campaigns = new Set(allTasks.map(t => t.campaign).filter(c => c !== '—'));
    return [
        { id: 'all', label: 'All Campaigns' },
        ...Array.from(campaigns).map(c => ({ id: c, label: c }))
    ];
}, [allTasks]);

5. Batch Actions

What: Select and act on multiple tasks

Features:

• Checkbox selection
• Bulk assign to agent
• Bulk mark as completed
• Export to CSV

Implementation:

const [selectedTaskIds, setSelectedTaskIds] = useState<Set<string>>(new Set());

const handleSelectAll = () => {
    setSelectedTaskIds(new Set(paginatedTasks.map(t => t.id)));
};

6. Advanced Search

What: Search across multiple fields

Features:

• Search by phone number
• Search by campaign
• Search by type
• Fuzzy matching

Implementation:

const searchFields = ['name', 'phone', 'phoneRaw', 'campaign'];
filtered = filtered.filter(task =>
    searchFields.some(field => 
        task[field]?.toLowerCase().includes(q)
    )
);

7. Sorting

What: Click column headers to sort

Features:

• Sort by name, time, type
• Ascending/descending
• Multi-column sort

Implementation:

const [sortDescriptor, setSortDescriptor] = useState<SortDescriptor>({
    column: 'time',
    direction: 'descending'
});

8. Filters Persistence

What: Remember filter selections

Implementation:

// Save to localStorage
useEffect(() => {
    localStorage.setItem('tasks-filters', JSON.stringify({
        typeFilter,
        campaignFilter,
        searchQuery
    }));
}, [typeFilter, campaignFilter, searchQuery]);

// Restore on mount
useEffect(() => {
    const saved = localStorage.getItem('tasks-filters');
    if (saved) {
        const { typeFilter, campaignFilter, searchQuery } = JSON.parse(saved);
        setTypeFilter(typeFilter);
        setCampaignFilter(campaignFilter);
        setSearchQuery(searchQuery);
    }
}, []);
