Automatic Console Error Capture
Callout silently captures console.log, console.error, and console.warn in the background. Every bug report includes the full error log — no user action needed.
Callout intercepts JavaScript console output from the moment the widget loads. When a user submits a bug report, all captured console.error, console.warn, and console.log entries are attached automatically. Your team gets the exact error trail without asking the user to open DevTools or copy-paste anything.
Errors captured
automatically.
No configuration. No user training. Just add the widget.
Widget loads, capture begins
The moment the Callout script loads on your page, it starts intercepting console.log, console.error, console.warn, and console.info calls. This happens silently in the background with no visible change to the user.
Errors accumulate in memory
Every console call is timestamped and stored in a lightweight in-memory buffer. Stack traces from errors are preserved. No data is sent over the network until the user submits a report.
User submits a report
When the user submits a bug report, all captured console entries are bundled with the report. The error log, screenshot, device details, and replay links are delivered together as a single GitHub issue or ticket.
Your team triages with full context
The formatted console log shows each entry with its level (error, warn, log), timestamp, and message. Your team can immediately see which errors occurred before the bug was reported — no reproduction guesswork needed.
Why automatic error
capture matters.
No User Action Required
Users do not need to open DevTools, find the Console tab, or copy-paste error messages. Callout captures everything behind the scenes so non-technical users can submit rich bug reports.
Complete Error Trail
Every console call since the widget loaded is captured — not just the last error. Your team sees the full sequence of logs and errors leading up to the reported bug.
Stack Traces Preserved
When JavaScript throws an error with a stack trace, Callout preserves it in the console log. Your team can pinpoint the exact file and line number causing the issue.
Negligible Performance Impact
Console interception is extremely lightweight — it wraps native console methods without blocking execution. Logs are stored in memory and only transmitted when a report is submitted.
Common
questions.
What console output does Callout capture?
Callout captures console.log, console.error, console.warn, and console.info calls. All entries are timestamped and attached to the bug report so your team sees the exact errors that occurred during the user session.
Does the user need to open DevTools for error capture?
No. Callout silently intercepts console output in the background from the moment the widget loads. Users never need to open DevTools or copy-paste error messages. Everything is automatic.
How are console errors displayed in bug reports?
Console errors are formatted as a readable log in the GitHub issue (or Linear/Jira ticket). Each entry shows the log level (error, warn, log), timestamp, and message content. Stack traces are preserved when available.
Does console capture affect application performance?
No. Callout uses lightweight console interception that adds negligible overhead. The captured logs are stored in memory and only sent when the user submits a bug report. There is no continuous network traffic or heavy processing.
